indirect military actions focused
on strategic or operational
objectives.They require units with
combinations of trained specialized
personnel, equipment, and tactics
that exceed the routine capabilities
of conventional military forces."

"It is not unreasonable to say that the typical
special operations soldier is the equivalent of
an Olympic-caliber athlete with two Masters
Degrees combined with the spirit of a Spartan
warrior".
Admiral Eric T. Olson, Commander
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM)
