1-27. The United States Army Special Operations Command and the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School, provide Army conventional force commanders, joint force commanders, and U.S. Ambassadors with forces that can execute discreet, precise, and scalable special operations in permissive, uncertain, or hostile environments. This organized, trained, and equipped force contributes to unified effort at every echelon. The force can operate in denied or sensitive areas to collect, monitor, and verify information of strategic and operational significance, using a variety of tactics and techniques to meet the requirements of discreet operations. The activities listed in figure 1-1, page 1-7, generate information that special operations forces can provide directly to a joint force commander or ambassador and integrate into intelligence processes. The resulting products are disseminated to military and other governmental departments and agencies, as well as indigenous military, police, or other personnel to facilitate execution of their missions.
