What happens when America’s most elite military forces are given almost complete autonomy for two decades? For starters, they develop unparalleled intelligence, precision strike, and direct-action skills. But according to a recently released comprehensive review of U.S. Special Operations Command, their fixation on developing those skills creates “situations allowing for misconduct and unethical behavior.” As America’s priority shifts away from counterterrorism, the report notes that the requirements of great power competition “are challenging a [special operations forces] culture with a bias towards force employment.” This culture is unlikely to change as long as special operations forces govern themselves.
