                               RESOLUTION


 
 Honoring United States Army Special Operations Command on their 20th 
                              anniversary.

Whereas since the establishment of United States Army Special Operations Command 
        (USASOC) on December 1, 1989, its personnel have operated in some of the 
        most remote and hostile regions of the world;
Whereas the 7 components of USASOC consist of the John F. Kennedy Special 
        Warfare Center and School, the United States Army Special Forces 
        Command, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the 160th Special Operations Aviation 
        Regiment, the 4th Psychological Operations Group, the 95th Civil Affairs 
        Brigade, and the 528th Sustainment Brigade;
Whereas USASOC provides 70 percent of special operations personnel in Central 
        Command's theater and approximately 63 percent of the total overseas 
        military commitments of the United States;
Whereas in the 8 years since the start of Operation Enduring Freedom and 
        Operation Iraqi Freedom, 245 USASOC soldiers have made the ultimate 
        sacrifice; and
Whereas Master Sergeant Brendan O'Connor, Chief Warrant Officer David Cooper, 
        Colonel Mark Mitchell, Master Sergeant Donald Hollenbaugh, and Master 
        Sergeant Daniel Briggs, all of whom have served this Nation as soldiers 
        assigned to USASOC, received the Distinguished Service Cross for actions 
        in support of the Global War on Terrorism: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends the United States Army Special Operations 
        Command for more than 20 years of dedicated service to our 
        Nation;
            (2) honors the more than 27,000 personnel who serve in the 
        United States Army Special Operations Command; and
            (3) pledges its continued support for the men and women of 
        the United States Armed Forces.
