The Special Forces Association (SFA) is a non-profit US veterans organization formed in 1964 at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and is chartered in the State of North Carolina.  It was formed to unite all persons who are now or have ever been assigned to the U.S. Army Special Forces (SF) to perpetuate SF traditions.  There are over 80 Chapters worldwide with approximately 10,000 members.  No person is barred from joining the association because of race, color, religion, sex, or political affiliation.  For more information on this organization visit the Special Forces Association Headquarters.  What is Special Forces?
 

Chapter XIII (C-13)  was formed on 28 Aug 1974 in the Republic of Korea.  Annual functions and activities that this Chapter sponsors to support the U.S. Special Forces community in the ROK include sponsoring a SOF Christmas Party and a July 4th Picnic.  We also conduct a Thanksgiving Turkey Raffle, collect Orphanage donations, lay a wreath for fallen SF comrades at the U.S. Veterans' Day Ceremony, and support two 8240th AU Association Memorial Ceremonies.

Other activities are sponsored as required such as:

  • 2004 Fundraiser for the tsunami relief efforts in Thailand (led by Chapter 3 Thailand).
  • 2005 Fundraiser for the hurricane relief efforts in the southern US (led by HQs).
  • 2004-2005 Volunteer Ski Instructors and Ski Patrol for the Seoul American Elementary School Ski Club.
