But there is always room for improvement, especially in the SOF community. Listen to these leaders from DoD and industry as to how USSOCOM can continue its efforts to arm its personnel with the latest and greatest.

Testimonials

  • We are extremely excited USSOCOM selected GSOF to co-sponsor its newly envisioned “SOF Week” in 2023. SOF Week will be a national convention for U.S. SOF and include a more diverse slate of programs, to include professional development sessions, operator-driven discussions, and family-focused conversations. In 2020, GSOF was designated as a National Military Association by the U.S. Department of Defense, and we look forward to working with USSOCOM to make “SOF Week” an impactful event.

    President and CEO, GSOF
