Galactic Republic Special Operations Command

The Republic Special Operations Command (RSOC) was a unified combatant command of the Grand Army of the Republic, responsible for the training, organization, and strategic direction of the Republic's special forces, primarily organized underneath the umbrella of the newly-activated 1st Special Operation Brigade. All special operations forces (SOF) of the Republic were under the indirect organization and jurisdiction of RSOC; however, Republic special forces contingents on deployment generally were answerable to the local Republic theater commander, although at times in major theaters of engagement, the theater commander had a dedicated special forces officer in the headquarters battalion that directed local Republic special forces (SF)-capable units.
