HISTORY

In the 1970's, a small number of highly skilled men were brought together to provide the U.S. military a unique special tactics capability. The team was coined "Brand X". Over the years, additional capabilities were added to this group and have grown into what we now call

AIR FORCE SPECIAL TACTICS.
