Is this SOF training similar to Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS)?
No. Your training will be more mentally demanding, as opposed to the rigorous SFAS course. The degree of training is equal to the Special Forces Officer Qualification Course, but tailored to specific Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations needs. With it being a new branch that is starting, effective 1 OCT 06, how does that impact the Functional Area, is it just the branch, or will FA37 still be offered as a Functional Area and I would compete with both)? Visit the HRC MILPR MSG site for MSG # 06-258, dated 21 SEP 06, PSYCHOLOGICAL OPERATIONS (PO/37) AND CIVIL AFFAIRS (CA / PSYOP/38) BRANCH ACTIVATION, which illustrates the impact of branch activation on officers with a 37/38 Functional Area. You will compete with your Cohort YG for promotion in the Army Competitive Category.
