Special Operations Command South
Within a global strategic competition, how can SOF compete for influence in South and Central America? How can this command best assess the quality and nature of allied and partner relationships in the region, and, in particular, what are indicators or warnings that US strategic influence might be challenged or losing ground to an adversary? If we have lost ground, what are the best options for rebuilding influence? How can we prevent or minimize adversarial entrenchment? What are the biggest threats emanating from adversarial influence in the region? Can SOF mitigate the effects of adversarial influence without directly competing against adversaries?
