On this #MemorialDay, we honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our great nation, and their families and teammates who share in the burden of their sacrifice. Their legacy is not simply a footnote in history, but a living testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit.

Our Air Commandos don't just think outside the box; we reinvent the box, ensuring that our capabilities remain unmatched.
SOFWERX, in collaboration with the 27th Special Operations Maintenance Group, a Dragon's Lair 8 finalist, manufactured a munitions loading prototype called the Compact Loading Adapter and Winch System (CLAWS) in our Foundry in Tampa, Florida. #innovation #rapidprototyping

Earlier this month, our #AFSOC leadership met with Ms. Nancy Andrews, Air Force PEO Combat and Mission Support, and Mr. Peter Greany, USSOCOM PEO Services Acquisition, to optimize the Command’s SOF acquisition portfolio for alignment to the future fight. Partnership with our Acquisition teammates, fellow MAJCOMs, joint partners and our robust defense industrial base are critical as we continue to transform to meet the challenges of Great Power Competition.
