Ep 260: Ones Ready Special: The SOF Truths Explained- Truth V

Send us a textSpecial Operations Forces use a simple framework to assess, select, train, equip, employ, deploy, and support their force across the DoD. This framework is known as the "SOF Truths".You may have heard of them before, but in this 5 Part Series, Aaron and Peaches dig down deep to explain what they are, how to apply them, and how to avoid the problems they were meant to solve. In this episode, we look at SOF Truth V- Most special operations require non-SOF support. From USSOCOM- "The operational effectiveness of our deployed forces cannot be, and never has been, achieved without being enabled by our joint service partners. The support Air Force, Army, Marine and Navy engineers, technicians, intelligence analysts, and the numerous other professions that contribute to SOF, have substantially increased our capabilities and effectiveness throughout the world."We can't wait to bring you this full series, and we hope you learned something from this one! Support the showJoin this channel to get access to perks: HEREBuzzsprout Subscription page: HERECollabs:Ones Ready - OnesReady.com 18A Fitness - Promo Code: ONESREADY ATACLete - Follow the URL (no promo code): ATACLeteCardoMax - Promo Code: ONESREADYDanger Close Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYDFND Apparel - Promo Code: ONESREADYHoist - Promo Code: ONESREADYKill Cliff - Pr...
