U.S. Special Operations Command

The U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a unified command responsible for overseeing special operations forces from all branches of the U.S. military. Established in 1987, it focuses on conducting specialized missions, such as counter-terrorism, unconventional warfare, and direct action. These elite units, including Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets, are highly trained to operate in challenging environments and work alongside foreign militaries. USSOCOM plays a crucial role in national security by addressing complex threats and conducting operations that require unique skills and tactics beyond conventional military capabilities.
