There has been one Group not mentioned. Training Group wore a white flash, sometimes made of naugahide, but also embroidered ones.

Guys,
FWIW, Geoff Barker put out a history of all things SOF.."A concise History of US Army Special Operations Forces". You can get a copy from amazon for about $10.00. Its well done and contains a wealth of information..

Okay, I dredged this thread up because I had something pertinent. But the site took awhile to load and now I can't remember what it was. Dammit.
So....as you were.  
And have a happy 4th.

"Teach" from 7th told me the GRPs derived from the original battalions of the FSSF. On another note I was reading the other day about the crazy beret times of the 70's.....blue cavalry berets?

Only in the minds of the TIOH....who assigned the lineage of the FSSF to SF years after the birth of SF - which was modeled after the OSS. FSSF was disbanded in 1945. The TIOH also assigned the lineage of the Rangers to SF in 1960, and the took it away years later when the Ranger Regiment was stood up. Before that SF Grps wore the PUCs awarded to the Rangers in WWII.

hate to resurrect...
But, this is what the search produced.
ANy reason as to why some flashes have borders and some do not??? I know about the honoring JFK with 1st and 5th.
What about 7th and 10th with no border...any significance.
Some goofy question/trivia was asked in the office today..
thanks

I think mostly for aesthetic reasons.
The SFDAE flash is still my favorite - too bad it's gone.

The only early SFGs whose first approved flashes had a border were the 6th and the RC Grps.
What did the 5th do to it's flash to honor JFK?

WCH, I was mistaken, I thought the white border on the 5th flash was JFK, but the border was on before JFK death...sorry

The border on the 46th SFCo flash was the same color as its parent group, the 1st SFG(A).
