President George W. Bush has told all Americans that the war
against terrorism would be like no other war. But what does this
mean? Who will fight? How will they fight? What weapons will be
used? Most informed commentators agree that the war against
terrorism will be fought largely by "special forces"--that is, by a
relatively new community within the American military known as
Special Operations Forces, or SOF's. This new "branch" of the armed
forces was created in the mid-1980s and is organized under its own
unified command, called U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM).
Consisting of special units from the other branches of the armed
forces, such as Green Berets, Rangers, SEALs, and Delta Force, this
new fighting command is recognized internationally as the most
well-trained and well-equipped special operations force in the
world. Their missions are varied--including combat terrorism,
search and rescue, reconnaissance, humanitarian assistance,
peacekeeping duty, and conventional and unconventional
warfare.Despite special forces' international reputation for
excellence, Americans know little about this remarkable fighting
force. "U.S. Special Forces" provides a handy and comprehensive
compendium, including descriptions of the units and their
operational specialties, training, and organization, as well as the
equipment and technological gadgetry, weapons, armor, planes,
helicopters, and support vehicles used by each unit.
