About the Special Forces Tab

The Special Forces tab is one of the most coveted pieces of insignia in the US Army. Worn above the unit patch on the left shoulder, it permanently identifies the wearer as a graduate of the Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQC) — commonly known as the Q Course — one of the longest and most demanding training pipelines in the US military. Unlike most military qualifications, the Special Forces tab is a permanent award, worn for life on the uniform regardless of current assignment. It represents years of sacrifice, selection, and specialized training in unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, and direct action operations.
