Each of the United States Military Services has Special Operations Forces components. Special Operations Forces (SOF) are defined at those forces that are specifically organized, trained and equipped to conduct and support special operations. Members of SOF are the US Army Combat Action Group (formerly known as Delta), US. Army Special Forces (Green Berets), Army Rangers, MARSOC Raiders, Navy SEALS, and Air Force Special Operations.
The Special Operations Experience Instructor cadre is composed of US SOF Combat Veterans from both the US Army Special Forces “Green Berets” and the United States Marine Corps Raider Regiment (MARSOC Raiders). All are combat veterans who have been on multiple Special operations missions around the world.
The Special Operations Experience is a rare opportunity to see into the world of US Military Special Operations Forces by living it. Essentially each attendant enters a scenario similar to SOF trainings in real world missions. In this experience each participant enters a personal movie experience and will join a team that trains, plans and conducts a Special Forces Mission. Come and experience what SOF warriors have lived though, and participate in challenges few have any knowledge of, except for those who have served on SOF Detachments. This experience requires moderate physical ability but requires maximum mental participation and a never quit attitude.
Once assigned to an event each participant will experience firsthand what it is like to be on a Special Operations Team conducting a real-world mission. From the time you hit the ground till End Of Mission (EOM) will be very fast paced environment. You will be trained to perform every aspect of the mission on a team with other recruits and experienced combat veteran Green Berets and Marine Raiders. After training, each team will plan and rehearse the mission until it is ready to execute. Each mission uses training techniques, props and role players that special operations uses for total realism.

“Honestly, Series-18 was one of the most memorable weekends of my life. I went in unsure of what it was going to be and came out with an arsenal of knowledge, insight, and experience. Nothing has made me want to reenlist more than hanging out with a bunch of special forces guys on a compound in New Hampshire. The intensity of the training that pushed us to our mental and physical limits, and the camaraderie we built in the evenings left me feeling more prepared to tackle personal challenges and also use individual strengths in a team setting. And the food was incredible!”
"Series 18 provided me with an opportunity to push myself and put trust in others to overcome some of my fears. Belaying down a cliff face forced me to put trust in my teammates as well as in myself. The different activities always provided me with experiences I had not previously been exposed to. Who would have thought shooting a machine gun or learning to get out of handcuffs could teach me how to be patient, stay calm and make sure to listen with a purpose. The Improv training is a skill I use daily in my work. Learning to listen with intention and not shut down others' ideas is a great skill at every level.”
"Series 18 was an exciting and unique experience from the very moment it began. Perhaps it was the thrill of the unknown mixed with the challenge of learning and doing new things in an unfamiliar environment. Maybe it was the hilarious and intriguing special operators that ran the show. Months later, it still feels like a special weekend that was unlike anything else I'd ever done. And I was IN the military!"
"When I first considered jumping into this training, I half expected we would be overseen by some macho bros who had a chip on their shoulder. What I experienced was, to the contrary, life changing. The Special Forces guys we trained with were accommodating, informative, and most of all very capable. The skills these men possess impressed me beyond all expectation. I found myself firing machine guns in a safe environment; repelling down a small cliff; learning battlefield first aid; and gaining knowhow on breaking out of restraints. However, the most exhilarating part of the experience was sitting down and getting to know these American Heroes. The men have been through more than I can imagine, and they share their experience both then and now (after battle) with sincerity and grace. They appeared to enjoy sharing all of this with us. There was also a really fun and exciting improvisation portion of the training, which I was looking forward too. We improvised with the military guys and other guests. The trainers really made us feel comfortable. I didn't know what to expect on my way up to this training, but I can't stop telling everyone what a valuable experience it was."
