United States Special Operations Command

Joint exercises by Greek and US special forces and training with state-of-the-art military technology is an indication of the strong Greek-American relationship, Major Michael Weisman, a spokesman for US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Europe, told Kathimerini.

While body counts are not a particularly useful metric of a military operation’s success, they can be a good indicator of how intense things have been on the ground.

US special operations command launched a raid in Yemen recently targeting the leader of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula. It was the first high profile special forces attack under the Presidency of Donald Trump, which led to the death of 14 terrorists, 20 civilians and a navy seal soldier.
