    They also have Force Recon and Rangers there, neither of them is part of Special Operations Command, therefore not true special forces. The only true Special Forces are SEALS, Delta, and Army Special Forces. There has been talk of about 5 years about making Force Recon a part of SOC, but I've never heard anything about making it official.

    Force Recon was desolved some time ago. Its now MARSOC, an extension of SOCOM. Now its true special forces

    I was actually about to post that. The article I read said it finally happened in 2006, right after I got off active duty. It didnt say if MARSOC was actually a part of SOC though.

    Here is SOCOMs website, you will see MARSOC in the middle with all the other units that are a part of SOCOM. Actually it was 2005 i think.
