SOCNORTH All Metal SIGN  11 x 15"

We hand make all of our custom metal shapes in the USA using heavy gauge american steel and a process known as sublimation, where the image is baked into a powder coating for a durable and long lasting finish. This custom metal shape is drilled and riveted for easy hanging.

In response to the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001, United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) was established on October 1, 2002 and charged with the mission to protect the homeland, with an area of responsibility spanning the continental United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Bahamas. Within USNORTHCOM, a small staff element, the J32 Special Operations Division (SOD), had the responsibility of integrating Special Operations and regional partnership in support of the Combatant Command’s lines of effort. As partnership with Mexico, the Bahamas, and Canada expanded CDR USSOCOM and CDR USNORTHCOM realized that a Theater Special Operations Command (TSOC) was necessary to coordinate and synchronize the increasing role of US Special Operations Forces (SOF) in the region and serve as the senior adviser to the combatant command on the employment of SOF effects and capabilities.

On December 11th, 2012, the Secretary of Defense directed the establishment of Special Operations Command North (SOCNORTH) at the request of the USSOCOM and USNORTHCOM commanders. Their vision was an organization built around the USNORTHCOM J32 Special Operations Division (SOD) which would normalize Special Operations command and control and enhance execution of existing security cooperation, civil support, and homeland defense responsibilities in the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility. Activated on 5 November 2013, SOCNORTH was tasked to provide command, control, and coordination of Special Operations in support of COMMANDER, USNORTHCOM building upon the J32 established relationships with US Government departments and agencies, partner nations, and other organizations as part of an integrated theater strategy to promote regional security, outpace threats, and advance US strategic interests.

Since its establishment, SOCNORTH has matured and now includes representatives from across the whole of government as well as Canada’s Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM). Its personnel have distinguished themselves by building partner nation special operational capacity, improving our partners’ operational and tactical understanding of the security challenges facing the United States, and providing critical capabilities to civil authorities when required. SOCNORTH provides USNORTHCOM, its operational control headquarters, access to USSOCOM’s SOF enterprise which deepens its understanding of the trans-regional, all domain, and multi-functional environment which our nation state and terrorist adversaries are all too willing to exploit.

Key to our success has been, and will continue to be, the intelligence, maturity, judgement, and interpersonal skills of the officers, warrant officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, guardians, and civilian personnel assigned to Special Operations Command North.
