520 This report examines mechanisms, sources, and inter-
Service agreements for funding special operations forces
(SOF) operations and provides recommendations to reduce
the frequency and duration of disputes between the United
States Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the Military
Departments, and Geographic Combatant Commands over their
respective funding responsibilities for SOF, especially
with respect to when Service Common (Major Force Program
(MFP) 2) and SOF Peculiar (MFP 11) funds should be used.
The Geographic Combatant Commanders, in accordance with
guidance received from the President and Secretary of
Defense, generate requests for unplanned activities and
operations, sometimes in response to unanticipated events.
Such events fall outside planned and programmed activities,
creating validated operational support requirements that
are unfunded and/or unbudgeted. Each time this occurs, it
leads to prolonged negotiations to work out funding
responsibility disputes among a variety of stakeholders to
secure the funding necessary to execute the new
requirement. SOCOM's Global SOF Network (GSN) envisions
increased use of SOF, which would further increase the
frequency of such disputes and could be hindered by
current funding processes, motivating the research
conducted to produce this report. If the President and
Congress agree to expand the use of SOF as described by
the GSN concept, it would be necessary to increase the
flexibility of funding available for validated but
unfunded operations. To increase the effectiveness of SOF,
the Department of Defense needs funding solutions that are
responsive to global events while enabling effective
financial stewardship that satisfies the needs of all
stakeholders.
