MARSOC and Joint Forcible Entry Operations: Essential for Confronting Future Irregular Conflict

Abstract

Since its inception in 2006, MARSOC has emphasized its capabilities in two areas - Counter Terrorism and Direct Action with partnered forces. As irregular conflict rises around the world, USSOCOM must recognize the significance of MARSOC's knowledge in amphibious operations, and the possibility of a Joint Forcible Entry Operation where stability operations would require SOF expertise in irregular warfare (IW) methods. This paper will, therefore, discuss MARSOC in detail and illuminate its great capability in enhancing the successes of the MAGTF ashore through partner capacity building operations using irregular warfare (IW) methods.
