A major highlight was the trilateral synchronization meeting between representatives from @socnorth , The Secretariat of National Defense (@Defensamx1) and Secretariat of the Navy (@SEMAR_mx) of Mexico, and Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).

An incredible week at #SOFWeek strengthening the partnerships that form the foundation of our collective security. We had the distinct honor of leading productive engagements with our international Special Operations partners. A major highlight was the trilateral synchronization meeting between SOCNORTH, The Secretariat of National Defense (Defensa) and Secretariat of the Navy (Marina) of Mexico, and Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).

What an incredible week. Thank you to all the attendees, speakers, exhibitors, participating countries, and mission partners who made it possible to bring the global Special Operations community together in Tampa.

🩺🌍 On World Health Day, we take a moment to recognize the people behind the care—our healthcare professionals across the NATO SOF community and the broader NATO Alliance.

In Special Operations Forces, healthcare is more than treatment. It is a continuous effort to protect, sustain, and optimize the force—delivering prevention, performance support, and life-saving care in austere, high-risk environments.

Because in SOF, we don’t simply test fitness—we manage the human weapon system. The focus is on performance, survivability, and longevity.

From preparation to recovery and beyond service, your work ensures operators remain ready, resilient, and never alone.

🛡️ Your expertise is a force multiplier.
🤝 Your commitment safeguards those who serve.
