    SOCOM Commander: Navy SEALS to Focus on Strategic Reconnaissance, Working with Partne

    I wonder what the SEALS thing. I would think this would be not as lucrative for books deals and movie rights and the door kicking they did in the GWOT.

    SOCOM Commander: Navy SEALS to Focus on Strategic Reconnaissance, Working with Partners

    The commander of the nation’s special operations forces said the Navy’s SEALs will have an important role in the future in enabling commanders to understand the enemy’s capabilities and intentions.

    The SEALs, along with the special operations forces of the other U.S. military services, have had a super-sized role in the Southwest Asian wars since 9-11, serving at the forefront of U.S. and coalition forces in the low-intensity conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and other locations.


    With U.S. focus on deterring a future conflict with China and shifting the focus to high-end operations, the 70-000-strong special operations forces (SOF) also are shifting focus.


    Speaking to the Military Reporters and Editors at a symposium in Arlington, Army Gen. Richard D. Clarke, commander, U.S. Special Operations Command, said the SOF are “more integrated than ever before,” including with inter-agency partners.


    Clarke said he sees Navy SEALS as ‘working with partners, able to train, and also to conduct another key mission or activity, which is strategic reconnaissance. They can get in places that no one else can get they can be in the littorals — in subsea/subsurface domain — and are critical.”


    Clarke said SOF are more than just a direct-action raid force, but the force will still maintain that capability, one which “we have honed to an exquisite degree.”


    The commander said the SOF benefits from working closely with the general-purpose forces and that his command will look for every opportunity to leverage high-end training for its forces.

    I guess it is a wait and see to see the effects will be. Will it dilute the performance of the Seals or raise the performance of the units they work with. I would imagine that the Seals feed off each others competitiveness, so they are better staying with their own.
    Let's go Brandon !!!

    It is designed to make them relevant in a war with a near peer power.
