SOCPAC

The Special Operations Command Pacific (SOCPAC) was established in November 1983 as a subordinate unified command under United States Indo-Pacific Command (USINDOPACOM). Headquartered at Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii, SOCPAC is responsible for planning, coordinating, and conducting special operations throughout the Indo-Pacific region. The command oversees Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine special operations forces, enhancing regional security and building partnerships through training, counterterrorism, and humanitarian missions. Over the years, SOCPAC has played a critical role in supporting U.S. strategic objectives, including counterinsurgency operations, disaster response, and counter-proliferation efforts across the vast and diverse Indo-Pacific theater.
