Special Forces Association Chapter XXXIX - Houston

Mission Statement

The Special Forces Association Serves as the Voice for the Special Forces Community; Perpetuates Special Forces Traditions and Brotherhood; Advances the Public Image of Special Forces and Promotes the General Welfare of the Special Forces Community.

“Sense of Brotherhood” and "The Team After the Team"

“Our purpose is to unite, fraternally, all who are now or ever have been assigned to the United States Army Special Forces, to perpetuate Special Forces traditions.”

The Special Forces Association is the largest special operations association in the World. Our members include active-duty Green Berets, Army National Guard SF Soldiers, veterans and retired members and of the US Special Forces.

About the Chapter

SFA Chapter XXXIX, The MSG Roy Benavidez Memorial Chapter, includes members from a large radius around the Greater Houston, Texas area.  It ranges generally from Conroe in the north, to Lake Jackson in the south, Katy in the west, to Baytown in the east.  A few members live beyond these points.  The Chapter promotes its traditions and values of Special Forces by strongly uniting with the broader public in ways that benefit both the community and the current and former members of the 1st Special Forces Regiment in the region.

This deeper partnership ensures that recently separated SF veterans have a network of both SF brothers and non-SF community members to help them transition effectively into civilian life.  In essence, they help the veteran become an integral part of the community and to contribute in new ways to that community’s well-being.

At the same time, our goal is not just to help professional Special Forces veterans transition out of the service, but to ensure they can make use of their strong sense of service, combined with like-minded non-veterans, to interact with and help improve their local communities.

Finally, we want our chapter to become an integral source for community leaders to think of when unique and challenging problems/opportunities arise, and for the chapter and its members to be of valuable service.

Chapter XXXIX goals include…
