"Adversary convergence is not in our best interest. We are looking at what's in the best interest in our Western Hemisphere. Strategic competition is a team sport and joint warfighting plays to our SOF strengths," said US Navy Rear Adm. Mark Schafer, commander of U.S. Special Operations Command South, at NDIA’s 35th Annual Special Operations Symposium focused on “The Value of SOF in an Era of Strategic Competition.” The #SpecialOps25 discussions emphasized the formidable deterrence SOF provides to deter aggression, the requirements for a combat-ready force of the future, and how industry can better support tech innovation in the hands of our warfighters. The conference participants from across small business, academia, government, industry, Congress think tanks and other stakeholders discussed how U.S. Special Operations can harness new tools to enhance the foundational SOF truths, how they can continue to be the tipping point in integrated deterrence left of conflict, and SOF’s role in winning with partner forces when conflicts occur.
