About USSOCOM: The mission of USSOCOM is to provide fully capable Special Operations Forces (SOF) to defend the United States and its interests and synchronize planning of global operations against terrorist networks. USSOCOM is a unified command headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida and was established to prepare SOF to carry out assigned missions and, if directed by the president or secretary of defense (SECDEF), to plan for and conduct special operations. The Command has specific authorities and responsibilities, among them are: developing special operations strategy, doctrine and tactics; exercise authority, direction and control over special operations expenditures; train assigned forces; validate requirements; establish requirement priorities; formulate and submit intelligence support requirements; ensure SOF combat readiness; monitor SOFs' preparedness to carry out assigned missions; and develop and acquire special operations-peculiar equipment, materiel, supplies and services. Approximately 70,000 active duty, Reserve and National Guard Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and DoD civilians assigned to the headquarters, four components, seven theater special operations commands, and a sub-unified command carry out the USSOCOM mission.
