Early last year, SOFREP began receiving inquiries from investigative journalists regarding war crimes in Afghanistan. I’m not talking about dumping a few extra rounds into some bad guys – it’s much worse, and more in line with what was described above. You can thump your chest and say that “war is hell” all you want, […]
A close friend of my former teammate and best friend, Glen Doherty, is doing the Boston marathon in his honor, and to help raise money for the Glen Doherty Foundation. Sean Lake has also become a good friend of mine after Glen’s passing, and is about as solid as they come. When he asked if […]
The San Diego Union Tribune publishing company is ranked among the top 25 newspapers in the country. In February I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeff Light, Editor of the San Diego Union Tribune, and structure an agreement to share SOFREP information and resources with his team.

The Navy SEAL Teams were founded at the direction of President John F. Kennedy in 1962, with the main objective of establishing a unit within the US Navy that could conduct guerrilla warfare in maritime and riverine environments.

This is largely because of a recruitment drive by the US Navy, and the Naval Special Warfare Command (WARCOM). Cooperating with Hollywood feature films like “Act of Valor” and “Lone Survivor”, both […]
Over a decade of sustained combat operations have taken its toll on the American Special Operations Operator. The toll of war strikes deep and shows up in many different forms: a broken marriage, child custody issues, domestic violence, substance abuse, PTSD, suicide and much worse. SOFREP spoke with representatives from US SOCOM (Special Operations Command) recently, […]
The people with whom I’ve worked in the Special Operations community are more concerned with an individual’s contribution to the team, and their ability to do their job exceptionally well, than their race or sexual preferences. It’s meritocracy in its purest form, and a wonderful example set by the Special Operations community, from which others can […]
Admiral McRaven is undeniably one of the greatest military leaders of our generation. For those that don’t know, he planned the UBL hit while at JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command). He’s one of a handful of top Commanders that have lived through the modern day Department of Defense (DOD) transformation into a Special Operations centric […]
For those of you not familiar, the SHOT (Shooting, Hunter, & Outdoor) trade show is the industry’s largest in the world. I’ve been to Comic Con in San Diego, a big show in its own right, and the SHOT show makes it look like a small yard sale in comparison. Why is it important to […]
Charlene Lamb, cited for failures in leadership from the Department of State’s (DOS) own Accountability Review Board (ARB) report, has been promoted assigned to Regional Security Officer (RSO). We’ve heard rumor that she’s slated for international duty in Canada. She started RSO in-service training last week much to the dismay of many within State. Lamb […]
Good journalism is a sadly a thing of the past. A shift in balance and power has occurred in the digital era, and the main stream media (MSM), including outlets like the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, don’t want to talk about it. They are invoking the 5th Amendment. Editorial departments are becoming […]
