The publication is produced with the input and assistance of each of the special warfare units within the Department of Defense. This high-quality, perfect-bound publication is a salute to these elite soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines, as well as an in-depth analysis and forecast of the current global conditions and scenarios in which they operate.
