These are the men that make the mission happen. These are your technical experts.
These airmen all train together after BMT at the Special Warfare Training Wing where they all enlist as Special Warfare Airmen candidates. During this trianing period they learn about the careers and find which best suits their personality. After selecting which career best suits them they all attend A&S alongside their Commissioned counterparts to undergo assessment & selection. TACPs attend special warfare prep but they have their own schoolhouse. As of early 2020, this is still current but this may change in the future. After being selected, the Special Warfare Candidates enter the pipeline which lasts a little over 2 years and about a 1.5 for TACPs.
These Careers have specialized training that either makes them SOF capable or function under a SOF capable officer.
