United States Army Special Forces

United States Army Special Forces, colloquially referred to as the Green Berets, were the special operations force of the United States Army, responsible for unconventional warfare and other duties outside the purview of conventional divisions of the Army.

Background
A detachment of Special Forces operatives was deployed in Appalachia as liaisons between the Strategic Air Command and the Appalachian Automated Launch System, delivering nuclear launch codes to launch crews and their officers. Those who survived the Great War became afflicted by the Scorched Plague, obeying the orders of their scorchbeast masters.

Some also became feral ghouls due to the radiation. Although not seen in the game, their non-Appalachian counterparts wore combat armor Mk II.

Appearances
The remains of the United States Army Special Forces operators appear only in Fallout 76.
