America's Special Forces: The Organization, Men, Weapons and the Actions of the United States Special Operations Forces

America's Special Forces and United States Special Operations Forces (SOF) are the largest and certainly the best equipped of the world's elite units. Their 46,000 fighting men and specialists have undertaken unconventional and special operations warfare in more than 140 countries. These men are always ready to meet the challenges, ready to protect and support U.S. national interests, providing rapidly deployable forces able to operate across the spectrum of conflict wherever it may occur. Additionally those forces are active in non-military efforts, such as humanitarian assistance and counter-drug operations. This dynamic volume, vividly illustrated throughout with dramatic action photographs, explains in detail how the U.S. Special Operations Forces are organized, trained and armed, and how they have evolved into the most carefully selected, most fully prepared, and best equipped special operations fighting force in the world.Ray Bonds is the author of 'America's Special Forces: The Organization, Men, Weapons and the Actions of the United States Special Operations Forces' with ISBN 9781930983083 and ISBN 1930983085.
