 <title>Special Operations Forces: Management Actions Are Needed to Effectively Integrate Marine Corps Forces into the U.S. Special Operations Command</title>
</titleInfo>
<abstract>The Department of Defense (DOD) has relied on special operations
forces to conduct military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and
to perform other tasks such as training foreign military forces. 
To meet the demand for these forces, DOD established a Marine	 
Corps service component under the U.S. Special Operations Command
(USSOCOM) to integrate Marine Corps forces. Under the authority  
of the Comptroller General, GAO assessed the extent to which (1) 
the Marine Corps special operations command has identified its	 
force structure requirements, (2) the Marine Corps has developed 
a strategic human capital approach to manage personnel in its	 
special operations command, and (3) USSOCOM has determined	 
whether Marine Corps training programs are preparing its forces  
for assigned missions. GAO performed its work with the Marine	 
Corps and USSOCOM and analyzed DOD plans for this new command.</abstract>
