    How the Army's 'Robin Sage' puts Special Forces hopefuls to a final, make-or-break test

    Robin Sage is the last of 4 phases in the pipeline to the Army's special forces. It is unconventional warfare- a team of 12 assist a local gruella force to defeat a larger conventional force.

    Every few months, several North Carolina counties host a unique special-operations event.

    Robin Sage is a four-week exercise that all Special Forces candidates must pass before they graduate and don the coveted Green Beret.


    Named after Col. Jerry Michael Sage, an Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operative who was captured by the Nazis and attempted to escape more than 12 times before succeeding, Robin Sage is the culminating exercise of the Special Forces pipeline.

    It takes place in the fictional country of Pineland, which spans about 50,000 square miles in the woods of North Carolina.
    The Army's Special Forces, known as Green Berets, mainly specialize in training and supporting foreign forces, counterterrorism, and reconnaissance, as well as carrying out its own small-scale raids and ambushes.


    Green Berets operate in 12-man detachments and work with and through partner forces. They receive extensive cultural and linguistic training that enables them to operate anywhere in the world.


    But it is during Robin Sage that they get their first real taste of what Special Forces does.
