To earn it, a soldier must pass the grueling Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) — a weeks-long evaluation of physical and mental endurance — and then complete the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC or \"Q Course\"), which can last anywhere from 12 to 24 months depending on specialty. The Q Course trains soldiers in one of five Special Forces Military Occupational Specialties: 18A (Officer\/Commander), 18B (Weapons Sergeant), 18C (Engineer Sergeant), 18D (Medical Sergeant), or 18E (Communications Sergeant). Unlike most military qualifications, the Special Forces tab is a \u003cem\u003epermanent\u003c\/em\u003e award — once earned, it is worn for life on the uniform regardless of current assignment, making it one of the most enduring marks of distinction in the US Army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Forces Tab Formats – Which Do You Need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull color\u003c\/strong\u003e — this item; for Army Service Uniform (ASU) and AGSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-subdued\"\u003eSubdued green\u003c\/a\u003e — for ACU field uniform wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-desert-subdued\"\u003eDesert subdued\u003c\/a\u003e — for desert combat environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/us-army-special-forces-tab-for-the-acu-uniform\"\u003eACU uniform tab\u003c\/a\u003e — current issue ACU format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-in-metal\"\u003eMetal tab\u003c\/a\u003e — for dress uniforms and display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/miniature-special-forces-tab-in-metal\"\u003eMiniature metal tab\u003c\/a\u003e — for mess dress and miniature medal sets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eYou May Also Like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-in-green-subded\"\u003eSpecial Forces Tab – Subdued\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-desert-subdued\"\u003eSpecial Forces Tab – Desert Subdued\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-tab-in-metal\"\u003eSpecial Forces Tab in Metal\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-with-tab-patch-with-tab-subdued\"\u003eSpecial Forces with Tab Patch – Subdued\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/special-forces-patch-with-airborne-tab\"\u003eSpecial Forces Patch with Airborne Tab\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse our full \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tabs\"\u003eArmy tabs collection\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/special-forces-patches\"\u003eSpecial Forces patches collection\u003c\/a\u003e for all SF tab formats and related Green Beret insignia.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saunders Military Insignia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40370155913400,"sku":"737B","price":4.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0591\/2395\/7944\/products\/special-forces-tab-868455.jpg?v=1639675137","url":"https:\/\/account.saundersinsignia.com\/products\/special-forces-tab","provider":"Saunders Military Insignia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
