Our Organization
SORDAC comprises seven Program Executive Offices and five Directorates. Together,
they manage and support the development, acquisition, and fielding of critical
items to enable a no-fail mission for the SOF Warfighter. SORDAC executes its
mission and accelerates the force by following four key acquisition principles:
- 1) Delivers capability to the user expeditiously;
- 2) Exploits proven techniques and methods;
- 3) Keeps Warfighters involved throughout the process; and
- 4) Takes risk and manages it.
