Coming Soon – SOFREP.COM

Monday, January 30th, 2012

Brandon Webb recently told me about his vision of a one-stop website for all things SOF. Something like this has been tried in the past but never been as comprehensive as what he described. Part wiki, part news service, part recruiting resource, SOFREP sounds to be pretty interesting.

Military.com contributing Editor (host of Kit Up) and former US Navy SEAL Brandon Webb has launched the most legitimate and comprehensive Special Operations media site on the Internet. The site is SOFREP.COM, Special Operations Forces Report (SOFREP).

“I saw a gap in online media, specifically, a Special Operations site that serves as an information portal to the public and industry. SOFREP provides timely and accurate information about current and past events involving the Special Operations Forces (SOF) community.
Information about the SOF community is often misunderstood and fragmented on the web. I was also shocked to see that the few sites that do exist are not even run by experienced SOF Operators. Even worse, their site managers are misleading people to believe they have a SOF background when they do not.
I recognized this and proceeded to build an authentic SOF editorial team comprised of former Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps personnel. Then I turned the guys loose and challenged them with building something truly unique that would reflect positively on the entire SOF community.
We were very conscious of Operational Security (OPSEC) and only put information up that can be found on existing official recruiting sites. The difference is that the information is better organized on SOFREP.com, unbiased and that you can now access it all in one place.
The team did a great job, and together we’ve built something really special with SOFREP. In the end, we are all cut from the same SOF cloth and I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished. One team, one fight.“
