Bastion Special Operations Command

The Bastion Special Operations Command (SOCOM) is a strategic operational command of the Bastion Armed Forces responsible for planetwide organization, training, readiness, deployment, and coordination of Bastion's special operations forces (SOF). Integrating assets together from the continuum of Bastion's aggressive forces; the surface-oriented Bastion Army, the maritime, airborne, and spaceborne Bastion Navy, and the strategic forces of the Bastion Intelligence Service, SOCOM remains in a position to threaten countries on a global scale across the world, forming a tightly-integrated and superior shock force that seeks to aggressively wage asymmetrical and unconventional warfare and to perform special operations (SO) across the special forces battlescape.
The Bastion Special Operations Command is tightly integrated with the Bastion Intelligence Community, and has a mutualistic relationship with its intelligence relatives.
