Did you know Army Special Operations often deploy to U.S. Embassies across the globe? Did you know that some Special Operations personnel even move to those Embassies for years at a time to assist partner nations and coordinate Special Operations elements?
Join us in a conversation with a U.S. Embassy-based Special Operations Liaison Officer (SOLO) as he discusses the SOLO program, and unique ways that Special Operations works with our partners. We discuss the importance of language training and immersion, cultural experiences, and networking so that individuals can make career decisions that empower both the organization and the individual.

Definitions of Army Space and Army Cyber from the FMs:
From FM 3-14 ARMY SPACE OPERATIONS
Nearly every Army operation relies on the advantages provided by space capabilities and effects to enhance the effectiveness of combat forces. Space capabilities permit enhanced situational understanding; provides global communications; enables precise and accurate fires; supports the conduct of joint expeditionary entry, movement, and maneuver operations; and provides a conduit for cyber electromagnetic operations supporting Unified Land Operations. These capabilities directly support large slarge-scalecale combat operations by enhancing command and control, providing secure communications over extended distances and across areas without modern infrastructure.
Potential adversaries have identified U.S. reliance on space-based capabilities as a critical vulnerability and will attempt to exploit it in order to deter and degrade our ability to act. Army space operations seek ways to maintain assured access to space capabilities, and when necessary, to achieve its objectives in spite of the adversaryâs counterspace efforts.
Army space operations are conducted around the globe, but engaged regionally. Army space operations often are an integral part of a joint team used to plan, fight, and adapt operations across the range of military operations. Army space operations continue to evolve to meet the requirements of a complex and rapidly changing OE.
Army space doctrine refines and expands upon joint space doctrine by defining those space tactics and procedures relevant to unified land operations and applicable to large-scale combat operations. Army space operations applies to the tactical, operational, and strategic levels of war, but the results are often challenging to quantify which level or levels benefit as modern conflict may not be easily divided into discrete levels. In an internet-connected world which often exploits social media, theater-level tactical actions may have far-reaching operational and strategic-level impacts. The space capabilities form the framework for how space operations supports the Army warfighting functions.
From FM 3-12 CYBERSPACE OPERATIONS AND ELECTROMAGNETIC WARFARE:
Cyberspace operations are the employment of cyberspace capabilities where the primary purpose is to achieve objectives in or through cyberspace (JP 3-0). Electromagnetic warfare is a military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy (JP 3-85).
Cyberspace is one of the five domains of warfare and uses a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) for operations, for example, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and satellite transport. Therefore, cyberspace operations and EW require frequency assignment, management, and coordination performed by spectrum management operations. Spectrum management operations consist of four key functionsâspectrum management, frequency assignment, host-nation coordination, and policy adherence. Spectrum management operations include preventing and mitigating frequency conflicts and electromagnetic interference (EMI) between friendly forces and host nations during Army operations (refer to ATP 6-02.70).

The must listen to final episode of the Pineland Underground Podcast with Major Bobby Tuttle and Sergeant Major Chuck Ritter as the hosts/producers of the show. What sets great leaders and noncommissioned officers apart from their peers? What's expected of officers when they arrive fresh out of the qualification course to a Special Operations Team? How do you stay relevant as you progress in rank? We dive deep into these topics and more.
Special Operations Chess Theory digs deep into the question of "What is the power of a U.S. Army Noncomissioned Officer, and more specifically, a Special Operations Noncomissioned Officer? We talk to two highly experienced soldiers, Lieutenant Colonel Mike Salazar, and SFC Joe, about what an NCO is and what sets us apart. We then dive deep into Special Operations Theory and how it can be applied to the military or any business sector mindset. This episode is bittersweet as it's the last where Bobby Tuttle and Chuck Ritter serve as hosts on the Pineland Underground Podcast.
LTC Mike Salazar is an active duty U.S. Army Special Forces officer and currently serves as the Deputy Commander at the 1st Special Warfare Training Group within the United States Army Special Warfare Center and School at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, He previously served as a Special Forces officer in the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne), as an Infantry officer and has numerous deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
SFC Joe is an active duty U.S. Army Special Forces Noncommissioned Officer who currently serves as an Academic Team Sergeant at the David K. Thuma Special Operations Noncommissioned Officer Academy at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and is returning back to an operations Special Forces Group in the near future. He previously served in the 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) and has numerous deployments to Afghanistan and other countries in the CENTCOM Area of Operations.
Major Bobby Tuttle and Sergeant Major Chuck Ritter are both experienced Special Forces soldiers with years of experience as leaders operating around the world. After over a year of hosting and producing the Pineland Underground Podcast for the United States Army Special Warfare Center and School, they are handing over the reins. The new hosts, SGM Derek Riley and MAJ Ash Holzmann will take the podcast to new heights and tackle topics important to the Army and Special Operations.
