The SOF Enterprise
Collective Excellence
The SOF Enterprise is a collection of military and civilian professionals with a reputation and a bias for collective excellence - focused on achieving superior results against our Nation's most complex, high risk challenges. Years of cumulative experience, expertise and special operations know-how form the center of gravity for the success of our Operators as well as our SOF Logisticians, Acquirers, Educators, Communicators, and Analysts - The Total Special Operations Force. Our people are our credentials.
SOF Ethic and Culture
Quiet Professionals
The simple, but time-tested, phrase "Quiet Professionals" best describes our SOF ethic and culture - the principles we live by and the behaviors and beliefs we exhibit every day. We are a values-based organization - always mindful that our personal and professional conduct reflects not only on ourselves but on our Nation. We are focused on contributing to the mission at hand and being a well-integrated part of the team -- unconcerned with who gets the credit and recognizing that much of what we do will remain in the shadows. We support the Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCCs) --if they are successful, we are successful; if they fail, we fail.
