The current NATO Special Operations Forces (SOF) capability is an
ad hoc force which does not provide a synchronized, integrated
Special Operations response capability to the alliance. There is no
standing NATO SOF combat force or Command and Control architecture
to frame the transformation effort. NATO has declared its
intentions to transform from a static collective alliance for the
defense of the common members, to an expeditionary force capable of
responding to the needs of a growing global security concern. The
central research question is: Does NATO require a standing Special
Operations Force command and control structure and combat
capability to meet the emerging global security requirements of the
Alliance? This research revealed that a more robust and
interoperable SOF capability is both advocated and supported
amongst member states. The comparison of recommended structure
reforms produced consensus only in the function of improved SOF and
not in the form of that innovation. Interviews with subject matter
experts within the NATO SOF community revealed support for a
standing command and control structure but not to a standing NATO
SOF combat force. This research supports the current NATO SOF
transformation initiative with the addition of growth to an inner
core and wider network standing force.
