John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School (USAJFKSWCS) trains United States Army personnel for the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) and Army Special Operation Forces (ARSOF). According to its mission statement, its purpose is to train Special Forces through development and evaluation of special operations concepts, doctrines and training. It is based at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.

The school began in 1951 as the psychological warfare division of the Army General School at Fort Riley, Kansas. The Army's Psychological Warfare Center was created at Fort Bragg in May 1952 and the following month the school was co-located as the Psychological Warfare School. [cite web
