MAXIMIZING THE IMPACT OF SPECIAL OPERATION FORCES FOR FUTURE STRATEGIC CHALLENGES - Strategic competition is likely to intensify over the next decade, placing greater demands on the United States to deter and address diverse, simultaneous security challenges across multiple domains and regions. To meet these challenges, the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Joint Force must more effectively harness the expertise of US Special Operations Forces in countering strategic adversaries.

This event will examine how the Department of Defense and the Joint Force can leverage and empower US Special Operations Forces to deter adversaries and safeguard US strategic interests in an increasingly complex global security environment. The event will serve as the launch of a new Atlantic Council report on this vital topic.
