They later took training in airborne courses.

The regiment was established in on June 25, 1962, primarily trained in both unconventional warfare and psychological warfare, which started as the 1st Special Forces Company before it evolved into a group and then to a regiment. The regiment has close ties and trains with the United States Army Special Forces (Green Berets) When the unit was created, around 12 officers and 105 enlisted soldiers formed the unit.

The unit encountered manpower issues when SF commandos were sent to Vietnam under the 1 Philippine Civic Action Group - Vietnam (PHILCAG-V), which forced commanders to train new recruits to refill the ranks.

SFR commandos were known to have been actively sent to Mindanao after it was established.

The SFR was responsible for creating the Civilian Home Defense Forces (CHDF), later renamed as the Civilian Armed Forces Geographical Unit (CAFGU).
