US Air Force Special Operations Command Overview/Promo, Training & Action Compilation

Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC), headquartered at Hurlburt Field, Florida, is the special operations component of the United States Air Force. An Air Force major command (MAJCOM), AFSOC is also the U.S. Air Force component command to United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), a unified combatant command located at MacDill Air Force Base, Florida. AFSOC provides all Air Force Special Operations Forces (SOF) for worldwide deployment and assignment to regional unified combatant commands.

Prior to 1983, Air Force special operations forces were primarily assigned to the Tactical Air Command (TAC) and were periodically deployed under the control of U.S. Air Forces in Europe (USAFE) or, as had been the case during the Vietnam War, Pacific Air Forces (PACAF). Just as it had relinquished control of the C-130 theater airlift fleet to Military Airlift Command (MAC) in 1975, TAC relinquished control of all Air Force SOF to MAC in December 1982.

AFSOC was initially established on 10 February 1983 as Twenty-Third Air Force (23 AF), a subordinate numbered air force of MAC, with 23 AF headquarters initially established at Scott Air Force Base, Illinois. On 1 August 1987, 23 AF headquarters relocated to Hurlburt Field, Florida.

On 22 May 1990, 23 AF was redesignated as AFSOC and became a separate MAJCOM, responsible for all USAF special operations forces (SOF), aircraft and personnel in the Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve, and Air National Guard.

IDF's Urban Warfare Training Center - A Mock City for Multiple Scenarios (Short Promo)

The nature of modern asymmetrical warfare means confronting the difficulties of combat in dense urban areas. The Israel Defense Forces built the Urban Warfare Training Center so that they could learn to operate effectively against an enemy operating within civilian populations.‬

The IDF's Urban Warfare Training Center (UWTC) trains special units and armies from all over the world in urban warfare with a variety of simulations.

UWTC founded in 2006 in IDF base Ze'elim, is the world's largest urban warfare training facility. The facility is spread out over 41,000 square meters and includes over 600 structures such as mosques, eight-story buildings and underground passageways.

Comparable only to that of the U.S., the mock city is commonly used to train for the West Bank or the Gaza Strip.

The center also simulates a variety of civilian centers including markets, alleys, refugee camps, kasbahs and even tunnels. Buildings such as schools are not detailed since IDF forces would refrain from entering them.

The facility allows for training in laser-shooting and subsequent investigations of shots (where they were coming from, for example) using an advanced system of sensors.

UWTC also employs a system that monitors the location of each soldier, enabling recognition and improvement of flaws, thus minimizing casualties on both sides.
