About the USASOC News Service

The USASOC News Service is a product of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command's Public Affairs Office.

The mission of the USASOC News Service is to serve as the U.S. Army Special Operations Command's official news Web site and to address all public information needs relating to Army special operations forces.

News items posted on this site generally will pertain to the U.S. Army Special Operations Command, but the USASOC News Service will occasionally feature stories and photos that have an Armywide or joint special operations interest.  

On occasion, stories with an Armywide or DoD focus may be localized for the special operations community and posted to this site with proper attribution to the source.

Materials published on this Web site are intended for free use by the Department of Defense public affairs community, members of civilian media organizations and the general public.  However, our most important audiences are the Soldiers, civilians and family members of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.

Unless otherwise indicated, material available on this site may be reprinted when credit is given to the author and the USASOC News Service or other news services, when appropriate.

While this site will not preclude the publishing of command information news stories by other military publications and/or Web sites, stories and photos by military personnel concerning Army special operations forces should be submitted to the USASOC News Service when appropriate.

Army public affairs personnel interested in covering events pertaining to USASOC are encouraged to comply with Army Regulation 360-1, paragraph 2-3 (3), which stipulates that operational public affairs issues related to Army special operations forces must be coordinated with the U.S. Army Special Operations Command's Public Affairs Office.
