The 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne) (19th SFG(A)) is one of two Army National Guard groups in the United States Army Special Forces, along with the 20th Special Forces Group. The group is headquartered at Camp Williams, Utah, and has elements in California, Washington, Rhode Island, West Virginia, Ohio, Montana, Colorado, and Texas. Like other Special Forces units, the 19th SFG(A) is trained for missions such as unconventional warfare, foreign internal defense, direct action, special reconnaissance, and counter-terrorism. The Utah National Guard describes the group as preparing and deploying special operations forces for missions around the world. As an Army National Guard unit, its elements may also respond to homeland threats, disasters, and other domestic missions when directed by their state governors. Current Army special operations doctrine states that Special Forces groups are regionally oriented and aligned to support combatant commanders and theater Army objectives.
