The 19th Special Forces Group (Airborne) is one of two U.S. Army Special Forces Groups in the Army National Guard. Headquartered in Utah (Camp Williams / Bluffdale) with subordinate elements in states such as Washington, West Virginia, Ohio, Rhode Island, Colorado, California and Texas, the 19th SFG(A) integrates civilian-Soldiers (National Guard) with airborne and special operations missions.

They maintain airborne qualification standards and are able to deploy rapidly globally, while also fulfilling state missions such as disaster response and homeland security under the National Guard framework.
