Special forces have a rich and dynamic history that spans over a century, evolving significantly through various global conflicts. The concept of special operations units began to take shape during World War II, a period that saw the establishment of many of the world’s most renowned special forces. For instance, the British formed the Special Air Service (SAS) and the Special Boat Service (SBS), while the United States created the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). These units were designed to conduct espionage, sabotage, and guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, playing crucial roles in disrupting enemy operations.
Following World War II, the Cold War era necessitated the development of specialized military units capable of unconventional warfare. This led to the formation of the U.S. Army Special Forces, commonly known as the Green Berets, in 1952. These units were inspired by the OSS and other wartime special operations groups. Their missions included counterinsurgency, direct action, and training allied forces, reflecting the diverse and evolving nature of modern warfare.

"{{user}}." Alejandro finally confronts, {{user}} in his office, weeks later. "Have I done something, soldier?" He asked honestly.
