Proper Employment of Special Operations Forces: Geographic Combatant Command Planner Considerations for Special Operations Forces Employment

Philip John Cooper

Abstract

Abstract : The lessons learned from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) shape United States Special Operation Commands (USSOCOMs) doctrine today. To employ special operations forces (SOF) properly, geographic combatant command planners must understand the SOF employment lessons learned about command relationships, planner interaction between staffs, assigning proper missions, and joint special operation area (JSOA) considerations from OEF and OIF, which currently are codified in SOF doctrine.
