	Special Operations Command Central (SOCCENT)
		SOCCENT exercises operational control of assigned and attached SOF which deploy for the execution of training and for operational missions in the USCENTCOM AOR as directed by USCINCCENT.
		SOCCENT headquarters is organized similar to other joint commands with responsibilities divided among with a command group, six numbered/functional directorates (J1 through J6): personnel, operations, plans, intelligence, logistics, and communications and a headquarters commandant section.
		SOCCENT is committed to support the CENTCOM’s regional strategy through a variety of initiatives that reflect the National Security Strategy elements of shaping the international environment, responding to the full spectrum of crises, and preparing now for an uncertain future.

		SOCCENT personnel deployed to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on 10 August 1990 and moved to King Fahd International Airport (KFIA) on 17 August.
		With Saudi concurrence, SOCCENT’s first coalition warfare mission was given to NSWTG elements, which deployed to the Kuwait/Saudi Arabian border on 19 August 1990 to provide close air support and to serve as “trip wires” in case of an Iraqi invasion.
		During DESERT SHIELD, SOCCENT established procedures for CSAR, a mission that planners expected would be of critical importance, given the projected losses of coalition aircraft.

		SOCCENT remained a subunified command, allowing centralized operational control of special operations forces (SOF) from the military Services under a single commander.
		Reporting directly to SOCCENT were the Army Special Operations Task Force, the Naval Special Warfare Task Group, and Air Force Special Operations Command, Central Command.
		SOCCENT began deploying to the theater in early August.

		SOCCENT also had Navy and Army helicopters assigned to it, and as those forces arrived in theater, it spread them out over many airfields in Saudi Arabia.
		That possibility was discussed at SOCCENT, and the JRCC personnel were aware that some other possible options were being considered.
		SOCCENT and the planners at Batman felt that the supporting air strikes and use of Syrian airspace would give the rescue helicopters and crews the best chance of success and survival.

		One example is the coordination between SOCCENT and the Florida Army National Guard Aviation Support Facility 2 in Brooksville, which is very helpful and always has assisted SOCCENT when JA/ATT platforms had to cancel abruptly, said Sergeant Williams.
		At the landing zone, a drop zone safety team leader is present to measure winds, communicate with the air traffic control tower and the pilots, take accountability of troops exiting the aircraft and remain in constant control of the air space during the operation, said Sergeant Williams.
		Sergeant Charlton said SOCCENT receives a great deal of support from the 6th Air Mobility Wing coordinating with airfield operations and the 6th Logistics Readiness Squadron to make things happen smoothly.

	KASOTC - Military Information Technology
		As the U.S. Central Command representative on KASOTC, SOCCENT serves as the program manager for synchronizing, reporting, expediting and validating the project from concept phase until the handover of the completed facility to the Jordanian government, said a spokesperson from SOCCENT’s Plans, Policy and Programs directorate.
		The Corps has been working closely with KADDB and SOCCENT to include design elements that would commonly be found in a port area.
		And to meet this goal, the team needed to define the timeline they were working under, Jackson said, because some of the more specialized equipment can take from six to 18 months to deliver.

		Also this plan would allow a smooth flow of the coalition forces, which were primarily U.S. Marines and Kuwaiti forces into the area to assist in the liberation of Kuwait City.
		The commander's intent was to deploy SOCCENT forces forward to the vicinity of Kuwait City as the conventional coalition force secured Kuwait up to the 6th ring road of Kuwait City.
		Once the conventional forces had cleared up to the 6th Ring Road, a joint task force composed of Kuwaiti forces and the SOCCENT forces were to clear and secure the city.

	U.S. Central Command (2.2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		By elevating program management from SOCCENT to USCENTCOM, CINCCENT is better able to centrally plan the entire demining campaign, thus improving the interface with the Joint Staff, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State (DoS), and Interagency Work Group (IWG).
		The desired end-state is an "either-or" situation: either the establishment of a self-sustaining, indigenous HD program or the elimination of mines and UXO in every IWG-approved mine plagued country in USCENTCOM's AOR.
		Component commanders will execute the demining program in their assigned "focus country." SOCCENT will provide SOF support and CCJ5 will provide planning, logistical, and demining expertise support as required.

		The exception is the Central Command's special operations command (SOCCent), which runs all non-JSOC special operations missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.
		The Pentagon plans to expand the flag officer structure of JSOC from its current model of a two-star commander with two one-star deputies to one with a three-star commander, a two-star deputy and at least two one-stars underneath them, according to several special operations sources.
		Under this plan, McChrystal would remain JSOC commander and be promoted to lieutenant general, and Kearney would be promoted to major general and move from SOCCent to JSOC as McChrystal's deputy.

	History On-Line
		Starting in 1994 SOCCENT undertook a military assistance programme to develop Eritrean capabilities to conduct demining.
		Over three years SOCCENT supported a humanitarian demining programme which created an indigenous Eritrean capability to locate and neutralize land mines.
		Assessments are made on whether SOCCENT's training programme was an appropriate response given the severe constraints on resources and the difficulty in the post-Cold War era of conducting military operations in countries emerging from decades of war.

		Q (Durgin) --Are they trying to do it with their own forces or are they going back to the SOCs for the country?
		Then as stated they will execute with support from other components, typically SOCCENT, but it could be any component.

		Of course higher level commands did not have the experience to see it nor the intelligence to listen to those with the expertise.
		It is rumored some of the high level CDR's at SOCCENT and CENTCOM were having to read about UW ops from manuals due to ignorance of the subject and lack of Special Ops experience.
		Oh yeah, that's right, the SOCCENT CDR is a SEAL.

		Like the officers in the JRCC, they could immediately see that he was down in the midst of the Al Faw Republican Guard division and quickly came to the conclusion that any attempted helicopter rescue in daytime would be far too risky.
		The commander of SOCCENT, Colonel Jesse Johnson, and his senior airman, Colonel George Gray, were both in the SOCCENT command center when the call came in.
		The situation was chaotic and the attack crews were being launched out with minimum intelligence or clear objective other than to attack and destroy targets of opportunity.
