AR600-8-22, Para 8.9.e (2) Prior to 1954. The SF Tab may be awarded prior to 1955 for at least 120 consecutive days in one of the following organizations:
(a) 1st Special Service Force, August 1942 to December 1944.
The FSSF is considered one of the
'Founding Fathers' of SF, so to speak, and, as such, the American members of the '
Forcemen' wear the dark green blazers and green beret as their association's uniform - the Canadian members wear maroon blazers and berets associated with their traditions.
