With the addition of Special Tactics Teams, SOCCENT provides Joint SOF capability to Eager Lion 2016
U.S. Air Force Special Tactics teams train with Jordanian special operations forces in personnel recovery techniques during Eager Lion 2016. This is one of the first times Special Tactics provided command and control of an exercise joint-task force, directing U.S. Army and Jordanian SOF teams in
Air Force ground missions such as personnel recovery and precision strike. Exercise Eager Lion 2016 consisted of simulated real-world scenarios to facilitate a coordinated partnered military response to conventional and
unconventional threats. The addition of this SOF asset enhances U.S. and Jordanian effectiveness and capability to respond to real-world crises and threats. (Courtesy photo/Released)
