JSOC - Joint Special Operations Command

JSOC was established in 1980 in the aftermath of the failed attempt by US Special Operations Forces to rescue American hostages held in Iran (Operation Eagle Claw).

JSOC is designed as a common command structure between Army, Air Force and Navy Special Operations elements. As can be deduced from its subordinate units, JSOC's current focus is thought to be towards counter terrorism. JSOC is a component of United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM or SOCOM)

JSOC is based at Pope Air Force Base and at Fort Bragg, both of which are in North Carolina.
