The First Army Special Forces Group is
an infantry squadron that consists of no more than 100 people at a time. It focuses mainly on covert operations and precision
distance fighting (sniper training). To enter the Special Forces group, each recruit must go through a training period that
usually takes two weeks and every member of the Special Forces must have been in the JA for at least four years. The two week
program trains each member how to work independently hence An Army of One. Some courses taught in the program are:
Advanced Tactical Training, Advances Outdoor Survival Skills, Expert Camouflage Skills, Various Marksmen programs, and several
more.
