Security and Stability Operations
Security and Stability Operations (SSO) are efforts to maintain or restore peace in areas affected by conflict or chaos. They involve military, government, and community actions to ensure safety, protect infrastructure, support governance, and promote economic recovery. These operations aim to create a secure environment where local institutions can function effectively and residents can rebuild their lives. SSO can include tasks like patrolling, building relationships with local leaders, helping establish law and order, and assisting in development projects—all working together to achieve lasting peace and stability.
