The 13th Annual SOF and Irregular Warfare Symposium will focus on the dynamic challenges of modern unconventional warfare. As state and nonstate actors continue to evolve their strategies, this year’s event will gather senior leaders and key decision-makers from across the SOF community, regional combatant commands, the U.S. Department of Defense, nonprofit organizations, and industry to address the rapidly shifting landscape of irregular warfare. With an emphasis on innovation, adaptability, and readiness, the symposium will spotlight how special operations forces must continue to enhance their capabilities, from cutting-edge technology to advanced training, ensuring they remain agile in countering emerging threats. The event will foster collaboration and drive forward SOF’s contributions to safeguarding both national and global security.
