SOFREP contributing editor Travis Lively wrote about the Switchblade a while back. I agree with Travis that it is likely that we will see these systems attached to larger UAS platforms in the form of pods. It’s easy to image ground operators taking control of individual units or swarming them onto target like killer bees […]
I always thought it was silly that you can join the United States Military at eighteen (seventeen in some cases) and die for your country but cannot legally enjoy a cold beer. Thank goodness for foreign ports of call. US Marines and British SAS bring the hate to Taliban in Afghanistan. %EMBED2%
Norwegian SOF. Look for SOFREP TV’s upcoming series early next year on US and Global Special Operations Units. In the meantime, have a look at the Norwegian SOF. 1:23 shows them doing “bundle jumps”, pretty sick. %EMBED3%
Here’s a great look at the German KSK. If you’ve read my book The Red Circle, then you know that the SEALs did the first US/German joint Special Operations missions in Afghanistan post 9-11. My SEAL platoon was also put under the command of a German KSK Officer-in-Charge during a combat mission and this was […]

I recently received a request via the SOFREP Comms Check regarding the Special Operations Forces of India. My goal is to also focus on some of the more unknown Spec Ops units throughout the world. One of those would be the Para Commandos of India. The Indians owe much if not all of their fundamentals […]
If you’ve read my book The Red Circle then you know that I worked very closely with the German KSK in Afghanistan right after 9-11. These guys are solid and have a great program. I’m looking forward to featuring them more on SOFREP. Incoming. %EMBED2%
Reconnaissance was key for successful Fire Force Operations. For this, the Selous Scouts were the leading source of sightings and initial battle plans. The Scouts operated in a variety of roles from direct action missions, active recon or sitting on top of a mountain awaiting iInsurgents to appear along known infiltration routes. However the intel […]
I posted this video around a year ago when I was working at Military.com. Very glad I stepped away but that’s another story entirely. This video is what we in the Teams would call a “pipe hitter”, and showcases a robust Polish capability. The GROM worked closely with many SOF units in Iraq and have […]
Constituted in 1961, the Rhodesian Light Infantry was the backbone of the Rhodesian Security Forces. Unlike America’s overflowing man power and resources with the ability to specialize, Rhodesian soldiers had to fill the roles of everything from Leg infantry to Special Operations capable forces. The SAS and the Selous Scouts were formed to hit the […]
The helicopter has become an iconic image of war. It changed the way soldiers were able to deploy on the battlefield, dramatically reduced the mortality rate of wounded soldiers and delivers hell fire and brimstone to the enemy. To most Americans, the Bell UH-1 Huey in Vietnam was synonymous with the war itself. To the […]
