[[United States Army]] <b>Special Operations Forces</b> (SOF) consist of Rangers, Special Forces, and Delta Force, as well as several smaller units, such as Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations (some of which may be formed on an ad hoc basis and disbanded once their mission is complete).
 
Rangers (formerly identified by black berets but who now wear kakhi berets as distinctive headgear) are primarily utilized in reconnaisance, the gathering of intelligence data (including the capture of selected opposing force individuals), and long-range patrolling. To become Ranger qualified, soldiers must volunteer for the eight week Ranger training program, which is one of the most demanding and intensive in the United States Armed Forces.
