United States Special Operations Command

The United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is a unified command responsible for overseeing and coordinating elite, specialized military units across branches like the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. These units conduct sensitive, high-stakes missions such as counterterrorism, hostage rescue, reconnaissance, and unconventional warfare. SOCOM ensures that these forces operate effectively together, with trained personnel and advanced equipment, to protect national security interests worldwide. It plays a critical role in modern military strategy by enabling precise, flexible, and covert operations often outside the scope of conventional military forces.
