SPECIAL OPERATIONS are unconventional missions carried out by dedicated elite forces using specialized tactics and resources. They are deployed worldwide including military, law enforcement or intelligence operations that are "special" or unconventional and carried out by dedicated special forces and other special operations forces units, usually conducted in a low-profile manner that aims to achieve the advantages of speed, surprise, and violence of action against an unsuspecting target. 

The decade 2003–2012 saw U.S. national security strategy rely on special operations to an unprecedented degree. Identifying, hunting, and killing terrorists became a central task in the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_operations  , Special Operations commanders stated that grand strategy should include their "indirect approach", which meant working with non-U.S. partners to accomplish security objectives. "Special Operations forces forge relationships that can last for decades with a diverse collection of groups: training, advising, and operation alongside other countries' militaries, police forces, tribes, militias or other information groups.
