WELCOME TO OUR WEBSITE
Chapter L (50) "The Indian Territory Chapter" is based in the Tulsa, Oklahoma area and was formed and approved by the Special Forces Association on October 15, 1990 and has since grown to a Chapter of over 50 members. (Click here to view the approval letter.)
We are scattered over a very large area - our AO is larger than a lot of states in terms of square miles, covering Northeastern Oklahoma, Northwestern Arkansas, Southeastern Kansas, and Southwestern Missouri. But here in northeast Oklahoma, a 100 mile trip is "just around the corner".
If you are passing through the Tulsa area or are from this area, but belong to another Chapter closer to your duty assignment, please check our schedule and attend one of our meetings.
Our members, in addition to having successful careers as SFers, have also distinguished themselves in the local community in a wide cross-section of fields including medical, engineering, legal, accounting, law enforcement, and many others.
We follow very closely current developments and are ecstatic over the performance of Special Operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our present Special Forces soldiers are enhancing our image and maintaining the traditions. We appreciate what our young troops are doing, and if you drop in on us, the beer's on us!!!
God Bless America
