It was a black day, a truly black… the day that Stavros left the organization. Who said so? George Edward Hand IV said so. Let me tell you about the relationship that Stavros and I shared coming up together in SOFREP. We originally were just pen-pushing slobs cranking out content for the org. I recognized […]

“Humans are more important than hardware.” This is the one Special Operations Truth out of the five that resonates most with me. It has been at the core of my team-first approach as the Managing Editor of this site. After four years with SOFREP (two as a freelancer, one as full-time writer, and one as […]

“The society that separates its scholars from its warriors will have its thinking done by cowards and its fighting by fools.” (Thucydides) Dearest SOFREP readership, It is with some sadness I write to inform you that this will be my last post here for a while. Life is nothing but a journey, and the time […]

Hey folks, Happy birthday, America. What a month. Legitimate protests smeared by wanton violence. Attempts to whitewash American history for the sake of progress. A seemingly unbreachable political division, which malicious foreign actors and governments are taking advantage of to further their agendas. And in the midst of all, we had the honor to break […]

In a much-anticipated […]

SOFREP Community, It has been a while since I’ve written a letter to the community-at-large, but with the world around us being so highly impacted socially, economically, and physically, I wanted to share some updates about what we’re doing to support in the small ways we can at SOFREP. Our company is distributed around the […]

SOFREP (Special Operations Forces Report) How did we get our name? It was inspired by the military’s use of acronyms in formal communication traffic. We formed in January 2012, due to a general lack of authentic military content in the world and after we recognized an increased online interest in the post-9/11 realm of Military […]

Seven years ago yesterday, Navy SEAL Chris Kyle was murdered. He was shot and killed, alongside his buddy Chad Littlefield, by Eddie Ray Routh, a former Marine with serious mental problems. They had gone to a range to shoot some targets and unwind in an effort to help Routh battle his demons. Chris left behind […]

Recently, I was invited to join the SOFREP team to work as a writer and contributor. For years, I have known about SOFREP and its positive reputation. So needless to say, I felt no other option but to accept this great offer. Since SOFREP’s bread and butter is its special operations reporting, I’m sure you […]

Hey folks, Stavros here.  The past couple of months have been hectic, to say the least. But SOFREP is back and kicking! No better way to start than with some superb coverage of the Delta operation that killed al-Baghdadi. The Team had to dig deep with our extensive coverage, but it was all worth it […]
