Embedded Training Teams is the term currently used by the US military^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] to describe standard forces being used in a mentoring role that in the past was commonly done by the Special Forces.^{[citation needed]}

Unlike the Green Berets these are usually Officers and Senior NCOs drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds and Military Occupational Specialties who are selected due to their experience as professional soldiers and Marines. The composition of an ETT ranges from a single Officer paired with a single NCO, which would often mentor a Company of ANA, on up to a mixed team of 16 Officers and NCOs led by a Colonel which would mentor a Brigade or Corps.
