U.S. SOF have a global mission in which it continuously campaigns for U.S. advantage, monitors and counters adversary activity, builds networks, and sets conditions for joint force and interagency success that conventional forces cannot. To better maintain and expand this global presence as necessary, USSOCOM seeks more information about the following: What locations on the globe afford geostrategic advantage? How can SOF posture the force in these locations? Should SOF physical repositioning leave less prioritized areas "uncovered,”? How may virtual presence mitigate competition risks? How can SOF present the force to support a forward-required presence, as well as the need for rapid fusion of capabilities across the spectrum of conflict? Where must SOF shift its footprint to ensure it is the partner of choice to advance U.S. interests?
