The OSS is back.
Built by some of WWII’s most visionary minds, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) carried American resolve into the hardest places and against the most determined enemies. It embodied the determination of Americans who believed they could achieve the impossible.
Â
Today, after 81 years, the OSS returns.
Â
Our operators deserve a voice equal to the burden placed upon their shoulders. @ASWAndersonSOF advocated for a Secretariat for Special Operations that operates in both name and function, setting the pace, driving coordination, and ensuring SOF has the resources needed. Â
Â
This redesignation strengthens SOF representation within @DeptofWar and reaffirms America’s commitment to the forces entrusted with the Nation’s most demanding missions.

“We need to get things into our warfighters’ hands now. Not tomorrow. Now.” - @ASWAndersonSOF
The SO/LIC team heard the assignment loud and clear. We took a fresh look at how the government buys emerging tech, resulting in the first ACCELERATOR. And it won’t be the last.
Watch the documentary and see how we’re bridging the gap from concept to capability.

SOF Truth #1: Humans are more important than Hardware.
Yesterday, at AUSA 2026, @ASWAndersonSOF emphasized how unique authorities and adaptable people allow Special Operations to iterate at the speed of relevancy.
ASW Anderson retweeted
.@POTUS and @SecWar’s mandate is clear: move faster, cut bureaucracy, and deliver for the warfighter. ⚙️
SO/LIC and @USSOCOM are delivering on that mandate by accelerating acquisition and getting solutions to the field faster. Watch @ASWAndersonSOF at AUSA explain how we slashed an 18-24 month acquisition cycle into just 60 days. 👇

Secretary Hegseth and @POTUS have provided us with unprecedented top cover to make the rapid changes needed to modernize the Joint Force.
Grateful that @SecWar, @SECNAV, @SecAFOfficial, and @ASWAndersonSOF were able to join us at #AUSA2026 to highlight how we’re delivering for our warfighters.
