U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM)

U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is a unified command of the U.S. military that oversees special operations forces from different branches, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Established in 1987, its primary mission is to conduct special operations, which include counter-terrorism, direct action, and unconventional warfare. USSOCOM coordinates training, planning, and execution of these missions, often working closely with other government agencies and international partners. Its elite units, such as Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets, are specially trained for high-stakes, complex situations that require agility and precision.
