USAF 2nd SOS Special Operations Squadron Patch — Flying the Quiet Missions That Nobody Talks About The 2nd Special Operations Squadron flies where conventional forces don't go, at times conventional forces don't fly. The 2nd Special Operations Squadron (2nd SOS) is a United States Air Force special operations unit assigned to Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC). Special operations squadrons conduct the most demanding and sensitive aviation missions in the Air Force inventory — including infiltration, exfiltration, and resupply of special operations forces, psychological operations, precision strike, combat search and rescue, and other missions that operate at the intersection of air power and special warfare. The 2nd SOS has a distinguished history within AFSOC and its predecessor organizations, having flown a succession of specialized aircraft tailored to the unique requirements of special operations aviation — including low-level, night, and adverse weather penetration of hostile or denied airspace. Special operations aviators are among the most highly trained in the Air Force, qualified in advanced navigation, terrain-following flight, aerial refueling, austere airfield operations, and the tactical employment of their aircraft in support of ground special operations forces from Army Special Forces, Navy SEALs, and Marine Raiders. The missions are often classified, the flying is always demanding, and the results are measured in objectives achieved rather than sorties flown. This patch represents the 2nd SOS and the quiet professionals who fly the missions that keep America's special operations forces in the fight. Perfect For: 2nd SOS airmen past and present, Air Force Special Operations Command personnel, special operations aviators and combat systems officers, AFSOC community members, and anyone who has served in the special operations aviation enterprise.
