There is a kinship between those that have served on the field of battle. SOFREP TV invites you to step into another field of battle, the boxing ring – where veterans from both sides of the pond go toe to toe for the sake of their brothers and sisters in arms. “The hero and the […]

Last week, SOFREP reported on the Navy’s latest venture into autonomous warfare, the 140 ton ACTUV, which holds the record for largest unmanned vessel in the world. Not one to be left behind, the U.S. Army also recently announced entering the next stage in development of their own unmanned vehicle, an armed Humvee called, “Wingman.” […]

You know the trope found in secret agent films and novels alike: the Special Operator that is fluent in four languages, can track phones, build homemade explosives, is a parkour fanatic, a highly trained driver, is an expert tracker, better hacker, a master of like four variations of martial arts, and of course, is an […]

There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to drill and ceremony (D&C): It’s a form of discipline that military members need — discipline in every facet of life translates to discipline in combat; D&C also bolsters espirit de corps. It’s a useless waste of time that takes away from learning actual, useful […]

Former Marine Raider Nick Koumalatsos invited SOFREP writer Nick Coffman to discuss the recent announcement that the MARSOC 7 have been publicly exonerated after more than a decade of misinformation by the media.

You want to know that you’re getting a reliable platform, that it doesn’t have any glaring safety issues, and that you’re getting a good value for the price you’re paying. The problem is, it can be pretty tough to find that […]

This article contains minor spoilers — nothing you wouldn’t see from a trailer. Netflix has recently released “Altered Carbon,” a show starring Joel Kinnaman, set in a sort of dystopian future where minds are stored on small devices embedded in everyone’s necks. When they die, the device can be transferred from one body to the […]

Today, Congressman Walter B. Jones Jr. (NC-3) applauded the United States Marine Corps for publicly exonerating the members of Marine Special Operations Company Foxtrot who were wrongfully accused of murdering innocent civilians in the Bati Kot district of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province in March of 2007. That narrative was spread throughout the media as a result […]

I recently found myself traversing the American countryside once again, cruising 1,140 miles from Tampa, Florida to Gary, Indiana right up to Lake Michigan (pictured above). Travelling in this country has never ceased to amaze me — the seamless movement from state to state, the richness and variety of cultures in the peculiar corners of […]

What do you think of when you think of war music? Maybe you think of the civil war style snare drum with an accompanying trumpet, maybe you think of an orchestra of brass and strings that could be put to a war movie about brave soldiers in harrowing circumstances — there’s a good chance you […]
