USSOCOM Mission

USSOCOM Enterprise Priorities
People. “Humans are more important than hardware” speaks to our center of gravity and our #1 Enterprise Priority — our People. Our Force and families are USSOCOM’s competitive and comparative advantage. Our People are the reason we “win.” In support of current and future mission successes, we will recruit, assess, select, educate, train, diversify, equip, and transform our innovative and groundbreaking team.
Win. We will “Win” — every time, every place, in any environment. The “SOF Way” is unconventional, irregular, asymmetric, asynchronous, and done alongside the U.S. Government Interagency, as well as with Allies/Partners.
Transform. USSOCOM will trail-blaze, and lead, for DoD and the Nation, As stewards of precious resources, we will meet current and future challenges via optimizing, modernizing, innovating, inventing, and transforming our people, organizations, and technology.
