United States Special Operations Command - Joint Capabilities

Schulterabzeichen des SOC-JC

United States Special Operations Command - Joint Capabilities, kurz USSOC-JC oder SOC-JC, war ein Unterverbundkommando des USSOCOM. Seine Aufgabe bestand darin, Spezialeinheiten und reguläre Einheiten, vor allem Kommandeure und Angehörige des Stabs, zu trainieren, so dass sie gemeinsam im Feld eingesetzt werden konnten.[1]

Die Einheit wurde ursprünglich als United States Special Operations Command Atlantic, kurz USSOCLANT, SOCLANT, USSOCACOM oder SOCACOM, gegründet und unterstand dem US Atlantic Command. Ab 1999 wurde es in United States Special Operations Command - Joint Forces Command, kurz USSOCJFCOM oder SOCJFCOM, umbenannt und dem US Joint Forces Command unterstellt. Am 29. April 2011, als das US Joint Forces Command aufgelöst wurde, wurde die Einheit in die heutige United States Special Operations Command - Joint Capabilities umbenannt und unterstand seitdem direkt dem USSOCOM.[1][2]

Die Einheit wurde mit dem Fiskaljahr 2013 aufgelöst und alle Positionen wurden abgezogen.[3]

Seal of the Commander of the United States Fleet Forces Command.png
The official emblem of the Commander of the United States Fleet Forces Command. The bald eagle represents the Fleet, ever vigilant, able to dominate its environment, and, when necessary, be decisively lethal. The four arrows, clutched securely within the eagle's talons represent the Fleet’s striking power and its ability to provide credible combat power anywhere in the world’s four oceans. The four stars represent the authority of the Commander and are silver in color to indicate the Joint nature of the Command's mission and the Joint warfighting capability of the Fleet. The fouled anchor is symbolic of naval heritage and of the strong bond between the past, present, and future generations of Navy leaders. It also recognizes that the combat readiness of the Fleet is anchored in a shore infrastructure that is well organized, manned by professionals, and efficient in execution.
