Welcome to Special Operations Report. As Editors In Chief of SOR, Samuel M. Katz and Steven Hartov have devised a geographic journal unlike any in the marketplace. Every issue of SOR will deliver news and articles on Counter Terrorism, Intelligence, Global Low-Intensity Conflicts, and Law Enforcement and Military Special Operations. We’ll take to you around the globe, to see first-hand how Special Ops and Counter Terror teams are handling the War on Terror. We’ll take you inside the world’s most effective Intel Agencies, and you’ll hear from front line commanders and operators. Our issues will be full of the highest quality photographs, with informative texts and stories to match. If it’s highly classified material, we’ll be careful to censor it from enemy eyes. But if it’s graphic, exciting and helpful to you in your everyday ops, you’ll find it here.
We invite you to the world of Special Operations Report. It’s your world.
