2LT here that just got PCSd to Ft Campbell for my first assignment. I contacted a SOF recruiter today about opportunities for chemical officers in special operations. He said that no such opportunities exist, but I know there are chemical detachments assigned to certain special forces groups. In addition, a couple of my leaders at BOLC told me that they had served in special operations doing CBRN, as they had combat patches for special operations units. Can anybody shed some light on who I can contact to gather more information about these opportunities.

The job of an ARSOF recruiter is to recruit ARSOF MOS's, Psyops, Civil Affairs, and Special Forces. There is no recruiting for support personnel in those organizations because they are just Airborne units for support personnel. USASOC specifically has a slaying board for interested Senior NCOs and officers to apply to once a year. It's usually announced in a MILPER message and it's usually in September.
There are other opportunities as well for work in Special Missions Units that you can apply to such as USASED, JSOC and Delta. They have their own recruiters but you can email them to see if they are taking applications for your MOS.

They more than likely served in a support unit for the SOF. If you're looking for a Chem Officer on an SF team, that won't be happening. Call the Recruiter again and ask about CBRN Officers in the SF Support BN

Thanks for the response. That’s exactly what I meant. I’m not trying to go to qcourse or anything. I’m interested in operating in support as you said.
