Threat & SOF : special operations response / Colonel (retired) Bernd Horn, and Patricia J. Blocksome, editors.: D2-474/2024E-PDF

"This volume examines the concept of threat in the current and emerging security environment and the potential and necessary Special Operations Forces (SOF) / Special Operations (SO) responses. Part I presents historical background through an overview of SOF/SO evolution and doctrinal development, as well as a series of case studies in the contemporary setting to demonstrate how both have been used to respond to threat. Part II analyzes the concept of threat from a macro perspective of "below the threshold of armed conflict" to more specific threats. Finally, Part III examines potential SOF/SO responses to the myriad of existing and emerging threats that face partner nations"--Page vi.
