Former Green Beret reviews Jack Murphy’s new memoir, ‘Murphy’s Law’

Editor’s note: This review was written by Steve Balestrieri, a former Special Forces NCO and Warrant Officer that now serves as the Editor of SpecialOperations.com I always balk at when someone I know writes something and I’m asked to give an opinion on it. As my circle of friends has grown smaller, I have erred […]

Five Marines from the 3rd Marine Raider Battalion, Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC), have been arrested for stealing government property worth more than $300,000 and then selling it on the black market.

Acquiring a Pistol in Kurdistan: No Easy Task

Acquiring a Pistol in Kurdistan: No Easy Task

There is a major shortage of firearms in Kurdistan today; this is primarily because there is a war being waged.

This creates very unique problems and solutions […]

Perfecting an Exoskeleton for SOF Needs To Happen Now

Today’s military is much more technology-based than in previous eras but while the high-tech gadgets make the soldier’s job easier and much more lethal on today’s battlefield, it also weighs them down more than ever before.

My top four battlefield tips and tricks

My top four battlefield tips and tricks

I’m sure we’ve all seen the soldier in a movie (or real life) with his two magazines taped together upside down or the dude rocking the single knee pad so he can retain freedom of movement.

Watch the Kurdish Peshmerga train with the SPG-9

The Peshmerga and the AK-47, the World’s Most Enduring Rifle

The Peshmerga and the AK-47, the World’s Most Enduring Rifle

Like most armies in this part of the world, the Peshmerga’s go-to weapon is the AK-47/AKM. Sure, they have the G36 and a few M16/M4s floating around (usually with officers), but the Kalashnikov is the name of the game. What makes it fascinating is the number of variants and origins that you can find in the […]
