AFSOC SOF Truths

   
   Humans are more important than hardware. 

   Quality is better than quantity. 

   Special Operations Forces cannot be mass produced.

   Competent Special Operations Forces cannot be created
   after emergencies occur.

   Most Special Operations require non-SOF assistance.
