Special Forces Readiness Evaluations (SFRE) and Special Forces Evaluations (SFE) measure your potential as a Special Forces Assessment and Selection (SFAS) candidate.
SFEs are one-day events and SFREs are multi- day events. The SFRE is typically for currently serving members of the military while many SFEs are open to the public.
SFRE can or may consists of:
Team Events
12-Mile Ruck
ACFT
5-Mile Run
Swim
Land Navigation
SFE consists of:
Hand-Release Push-Ups
5-Mile Run
Pull-Ups
Plank
Ruck March (8 miles up to to 12 miles)
SFRE/SFE events are not preparation for SFAS; your performance is simply an indicator.
Successful completion of an SFRE/SFE is mandatory in order to receive a slot to SFAS through 19th and 20th Group.
Many candidates attend multiple SFRE/SFE events on their path to SFAS. Most candidates are invited back for a second SFRE/SFE and use the experience gained at their first appearance to better themselves.
SFRE/SFE events may count as your monthly drill.
Most individuals who perform well at an SFRE or SFE also perform well at SFAS.
