I re-read it and made some changes. I think the best way to summarize what SOF are is to list the various types of units and describe what their various missions are.

isn't this more of a US special forces article than special forces in general? --James


The name "Special Operations Forces" (notice the capitals) refers to a particular division of the US armed forces. Yes, there should be a general article on "commandos" or "special forces". --Robert Merkel

That's a common mispercetion, especially lately, what with the media referring to SOF as "Specail Forces." What many people seem to mean by "special forces" is actually any unit of the US Military with an "exotic" mission.
