Sharpshooter Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Wow...Wikipedia has already updated their site The Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) is a component command of the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and is charged to study special operations requirements and techniques to ensure interoperability and equipment standardization, plan and conduct special operations exercises and training, and develop Joint Special Operations Tactics. Operations in Pakistan This unit was credited with the May 2011 operation that led to the death of Osama Bin Laden. According to The Washington Post, JSOC's commander Lieutenant General Stanley McChrystal operated in 2006 on the understanding with Pakistan that US units will not enter Pakistan except under extreme circumstances, and that Pakistan will deny giving them permission.[14] That scenario happened according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), in January 2006, JSOC troops clandestinely entered the village of Saidgai, Pakistan, to hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Pakistan refused entry.[15] According to a recent report in The Nation, JSOC, in tandem with Blackwater/Xe, has an ongoing drone program, along with snatch/grab/assassination operations, based in Karachi and conducted both in and outside of Pakistan.[16] In a recent leak published on the Wikileaks website, US embassy communication cables from the US Ambassador to Pakistan Anne W. Patterson states the Pakistani Army approved the deployment of U.S. Special Operations Forces, which include elements from the Joint Special Operations Command were embedded in the Pakistani Army's 11th Corp to provide support for operations targeting militant groups in north and south Waziristan and other areas of Pakistan. The extent of these actions would include assisting in training but also to conduct 'offensive combat operations'. These actions by JSOC elements would be mainly providing intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance assets such as drone {UAV) aircraft..[17] On May 1, 2011, President Obama announced that Osama Bin Laden was killed in a ground attack coordinated by JSOC.

Truculence Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 MSNBC saying it was an operation carried out by JSOC, Joint Special Operation Command.....an almost seperate but not well known new branch of the U.S. Military. Apparently they get all the Top Secret and |Experimental Hardware(Weapons and Equipment) and that they were then only ones capable of carrying this mission out in close quarters. They recruit their guys from the U.S. Army Rangers, and Navy SEALS....so they're the best of the best apparently. We'll get to know more about JSOC moving ahead for sure. Just thought some of you may like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
î мцšт вяздк чфµ Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Can you imagine the guy who got the killshot. Either he is a hero, to the americans, or he is a pawn in an even bigger game. He must feel like a pimp though, killing the most wanted man in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zammer51 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 He sure tried. Unlike Reagan, who happily funded and supplied arms to the Mujahideen - which ended up evolving into the Taliban and Al Qaida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
