SF Soldiers are trained to speak a second language'often multiple languages'because their missions take place around the world.
Special Forces Soldiers are either on a real-world mission or training for one. Their missions are conducted worldwide and are sometimes classified. They range from Counterterrorism missions to humanitarian efforts to Unconventional Warfare.
Special Forces are often deployed to preclude, preempt and resolve terrorist incidents abroad. They prevent, deter and respond to terrorist activities and train other nations' military in the basics of fighting terrorism.
Direct Action missions are short duration strikes that are used when Special Forces want to seize, capture, recover or destroy enemy weapons and information or recover designated personnel or material.
This mission is used to organize, assist and train the military and national defense forces of foreign governments to protect their citizens from aggressors.
Special Forces have long employed the use of Unconventional Warfare (UW), a.k.a. guerilla warfare, to train, equip, advise and assist forces in enemy-held or controlled territory.
