EQUIPMENT
A Green Beret's Best Assets: A Strong Mind And Top-Of-The-Line Gear
A Green Beret's most critical tool is their mind, but they also use the most advanced equipment and support teams to complete their missions. They can be called on a mission in any environment and for this reason they use state-of-the-art, government-issued tools, as well as civilian equipment, to help get the job done.
Halo Helmet
High-Altitude Low-Opening (HALO) jumps are made from extreme heights that require an oxygen supply. SF Soldiers open their chutes very close to the ground. This allows entire teams to go unnoticed by radar.
Advance Ram Air Parachute System
This parachute is specially designed for HALO jumps and can function reliably in the severe environmental conditions found on SF operations.
Night Vision
This advanced technology allows SF Soldiers to see during night operations or in dark environments.
Re-Breather
For missions underwater, the Re-Breather is a simple underwater breathing device allowing SF Soldiers to navigate rivers and streams virtually unnoticed.
Kayak
One of the most stealthy boats around, kayaks allow SF Soldiers to paddle unnoticed in rivers and lakes.
Inflatable Boat
Lightweight and quiet, these boats work well in beach landings and helicopter launches.
Long-Range Communications
SF Soldiers use the latest technology to communicate through radio or text messages via satellite computer.
M-4 Carbine
The M-4 Carbine rifle system is used by Special Forces groups because it is lightweight and can be customized with a variety of scopes, lights and parts for any type of mission.
M9 Pistol
The M9 Pistol is a semi-automatic, double action pistol that has a rail system to allow attachment of an Integrated Laser White Light Pointer (ILWLP). The ILWLP provides a tactical advantage in close combat operations and has resulted in increased lethality and survivability for Special Forces Soldiers.
Nett Warrior
Nett Warrior is an integrated dismounted leader situational awareness system for use during combat operations.
