The 5/19 SWTD and SOCOM athlete completed Denver hell day on 25MAR2023. 44 participants started 41 would finish the event. SOCOM Athlete is a prep program for any Active duty US military, cadet, or 16+yrs old civilian who is interested in a career in US Special Operations. Attendees learn basic tenants to succeed in SFAS, RIP, BUDS, Para-rescue-man Selection, and MARSOC selection. SOCOM Athlete and 5/19 SFG(A) have partnered 3x now to collaborate on the mission of preparing & recruiting SOF operators into the US Military and strengthening Americas youth. This is like SFRE, but Hell day is not an Army training event; SOCOM Athlete coordinates and runs Hell day, our 5/19 SFG(A) Green Berets acted as controllers & assistant instructors. At the start of hell day when the students were polled on “would you like be become a part of National Guard Special Forces?” There was only one hand raised; at the events completion the same poll yielded almost a 75% hand raise in service in National Guard Special Forces. Exposure to 5/19 Cadre, unit culture, and seeing ground zero of Army SF greatly increased interest. Great Job by the 5/19th Special Warfare Training Detachment Airborne - SWTD A .
