摘要：特种作战部队（SOF）的能力在1986年之前的十多年中严重下降，当时立法设立了负责特种作战和低强度冲突的助理国防部长（ASD（SO/LIC））和美国特种作战司令部（SOCOM）的职位，并指示国防部长制定一项主要的部队计划（即MFP-11），特别是对于SOF。起初进展缓慢，但很快就有了势头。随后取得的成就令人印象深刻。在体制上，ASD办公室（SO/LIC）以及SOCOM总部及其陆军，海军和空军组成司令部，战区特种作战司令部（SOC）和陆军特种作战支援司令部已经启动并配备人员。特种作战司令部与面向区域的统一指挥部和各军种之间的关系已形成法典。它还创建了一个规划，编程和预算系统，一个研究，开发和采购系统以及特种作战的情报架构。一系列新的理论出版物指导他们在和平时期，危机和战争中的就业。特种部队和常规部队之间的团队合作得到了很大的改善。大约有2,500名特种部队人员在大约40个国家长期服役，他们在沙漠风暴行动以来的所有重大突发事件中发挥了重要作用。
Abstract : The capabilities of Special Operations Forces (SOF) had declined severely for more than a decade before 1986 when legislation created both the position of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict--the ASD (SO/LIC)--and the U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), and also directed the Secretary of Defense to devise a major force program (namely, MFP-11), especially for SOF. Progress was slow at first but soon gained momentum. Subsequent accomplishments have been impressive. Institutionally, the office of the ASD (SO/LIC) as well as SOCOM headquarters and its Army, Navy, and Air Force component commands, theater Special Operations Commands (SOCs), and Army Special Operations Support Commands have been activated and staffed. SOCOM has codified relationships with regionally-oriented unified commands and the services. It also has created a planning, programming, and budgeting system and a research, development, and acquisition system as well as intelligence architectures for special operations. A new series of doctrinal publications guides their employment in peacetime, crises, and war. Teamwork between SOF and conventional forces is much improved. Approximately 2,500 SOF personnel serve in roughly forty countries on a constant basis, and they have played an important part in all major contingencies since Operation Desert Storm.
