The debut of the SOFREP Team Room cartoon feature depicts Managing Editor Stavros Atlamazoglou clad in flamboyant pirate attire leading his mob of writers, termed his “pirate crew,” forward into the resurrected SOFREP format. Against odds, “Charge!” he cries out in his native Greek language. Heavy-lift writer Alex “A-Blast” Hollings follows swinging from a (pirate […]

That’s right – SOFREP is back. What began in 2012 as a small military blog quickly grew into a leading source for all-things related to Special Operations Forces (SOF), Foreign Policy, and Defense news. In 2018, our editorial team saw an opportunity to expand beyond our SOF focus, so the decision was made to broaden […]

Facing a deteriorating relationship with the company commander, I resolved to engage in a train-up regimen and requested to try out for Delta Force.

Snubbed by SEALs: A Delta Force operator on working with SEAL Team 6 A U.S. Navy Admiral “owned” the Balkan State of Bosnia under the behavioral tutelage of the United Nations Peace-Keeping organization. He was the sheriff, the police chief, the governor, the president of the country until such time humanitarian order could be restored […]

Most of us have never had an air superiority fighter strafe us during a gun run. I would venture that most of us would not care to have that happen to us—not at all. Even a simulated gun run is a trouser-crapable event, especially if it catches you by surprise. Such was the case with […]

How does a man who is not a Navy SEAL manage to tag along with a SEAL team for a week of submarine operations? Mostly dumb luck, is my sterling response. I was a combat diver assigned to a Green Beret A-Team when my boss caught me in his crosshairs with an invitation from West […]

You can read Part 1 of the series here. Most any earthly population generally runs at about a 50/50 mix of males to females (provided people can actually figure out which one they are these days), so with men being assigned some dozen wives by the FLDS church, it doesn’t take long for a glut of […]

China is on my crap list. Well, heck, they have been on our national crap list for a long time now. The country’s preposterous preponderance of people notwithstanding, it possesses a noticeable deficiency when it comes to thinking for itself, that China does. I have to wonder if they aren’t suffering from the scourge of […]

You can read part III here Dedication for this write goes to NEWSREP brother Ryan B (01a) “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world… she walks into mine” (Humphry Bogart in Casa Blanca) There’s a truck stop here in Albuquerque called the T&A Truck Stop — as the Lord […]

You can read part I here and part II here Dedication for this work goes to NEWSREP’s own Sister, Ms. Joy B. Little Sister didn’t do out-calls; only in-calls. She didn’t have a drivers license and didn’t know how even to drive. She had autism to a degree, sweet of intellect and difficult to talk […]

You can read part one here Dedication for this work goes to Adam Cortez (Biggy-Small) Biggs, convicted trafficker of this essay’s protagonist. Little Sister appeared on www.backpage.com with the rigid regularity of a trafficked little sister, her and her other sisters. I think there were five in all at the time. The sisters’ posts appeared […]

Dedication for this essay goes to SOFREP writer Mr. James J. L. Powell It was in the stately confines of Jackson, Florida, as I recall in my mind’s eye. It was during a Joint Readiness Exercise that JSOC was chartered to support in some capacity, and on some occasion, it became incumbent on JSOC to […]
