Validate SOF requirements, propose resources and develop/acquire special-operations-peculiar equipment, materiel, supplies and services; coordinate supporting military departments.
What this office does not control
Not a general model granting identical acquisition powers to every combatant command; scope remains SOF-peculiar and subject to statutory supervision.
Counts are matches to names and explicit aliases within the original role labels. They are routing leads, not appointment, warrant or delegation evidence.
Train U.S. forces with friendly military or similar-function national security forces and pay permitted exercise, partner and small-construction costs; special-operations training has a separate path.
