A junior soldier’s first Al Mar purchase becomes the entry point into how Al Mar’s Special Forces ties, friendship with Nick Rowe, and SERE-driven design priorities shaped some of the most respected knives in the tactical world.
Major John L. Plaster’s SOG is a blunt, first-hand account of MACV-SOG’s small-team missions behind enemy lines that makes Hollywood action look fake by comparison because it’s built on real consequences, brutal odds, and men who did not get to choose how it ended.
Caracas never heard the Maduro regime die, it just woke up to the sound of it missing, because when the CIA owns your pattern of life and Delta owns your front door, history does not knock twice.
Nigeria’s special forces are active and improving but still maturing, and they fight Boko Haram and ISWAP through joint, intelligence-led raids and rapid-response missions inside a larger military strained by multiple internal conflicts.

These are badass boats. Combat boats. Even the “luxury” ones are built to go straight from a marina slip into a maritime raid. The catch is this: they are designed to kill drama. They turn chaos into routine and make your worst day on the water feel like a normal Tuesday. When things go wrong, they stay afloat, stay controllable, and keep the crew moving. That is not marketing. That is the point.
Bombing terrorist organizations is a tactic not a strategy, and SOCAFRICA’s 2015–2017 Gray Zone approach used a long-term, population-focused, partner-enabled campaign that integrated military and non-military efforts to neutralize Boko Haram and ISIS–West Africa by strengthening governance, protecting civilians, and building sustainable regional security.
