Pete Hegseth's Address on Special Operations and National Defense at SOF Week in Tampa

Published | Video Starts at 24:48

Today There are over 6,000 US special operations professionals at work outside the US in over 80 countries. Representatives from 60 of those countries are with us here at SOF Week, and we welcome all of them. We also have international partners from 28 nations stationed right here at SOCOM. These relationships and partnerships take years to build, and the impact could be, in some cases, decades from now. But these allies and partners strengthen our militaries as they build their own Tier one, Tier two Special Operations forces. (24:48–24:55)
