This research examines the Special Forces recruiting methodologies
for the twenty-first century. The analysis highlights the origins
of the U.S. Army Special Forces from 1952 to the establishment of
the Special Forces as a separate combat arms branch of the Army on
9 April 1987. An overview of the force development process
conducted at echelons above the United States Army Recruiting
Command was presented in order to appreciate the process of setting
and adjusting the Special Forces recruiting mission. In greater
detail, historical trends, as documented from secondary research,
provides the framework of the analysis by examining what occurred
in the past in order to preview the relevant effectiveness of
recruiting methodologies in practice today. The analysis
articulates the importance of mutually supporting relationships,
established as early as 1990 and continue to prosper today, between
numerous civilian and military agencies involved in the accession
of the future Special Forces force structure. The complex realities
of recruiting Special Forces, to include the market, internal and
external influences that impact the ability to succeed in the
conduct of the phenomenon, are addressed as well. Having researched
the phenomenon of recruiting and presented the facts and findings
that resulted from critical analysis, the recommendations and
conclusions are based on secondary and primary research, study,
analysis, and logical presentation of the data in order to serve as
the vehicle for future research of the phenomenon.
