Special Operations Capable (SOC) refers to the Marine Expeditionary Units which may be tasked with operations that range from the conventional to non-conventional. The concept of SOC is unique to the Marine Corps and is not associated with the special operations undertaken by United States Special Operations Forces. The term "special operations" in the non-SOF context, therefore, refers to special taskings of limited duration in support of a combat commander.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=POLICY FOR MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT (SPECIAL OPERATIONS CAPABLE) (MEU(SOC)) )〕 These operations include: 1) Amphibious raids 2) Non-Combatant Evacuation Operations (NEO) 3) Security Operations 4) Tactical Recovery of Aircraft and Personnel (TRAP) 5) Direct Action 6) Humanitarian/Civic Assistance〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=POLICY FOR MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT (SPECIAL OPERATIONS CAPABLE) (MEU(SOC)) )〕 Therefore, "the primary objective of the MEU(SOC)...is to provide the theater CINC's with an effective means of dealing with the uncertainties of future threats, providing a forward deployed unit that is inherently balanced, sustainable, flexible, responsive, expandable and credible."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=POLICY FOR MARINE EXPEDITIONARY UNIT (SPECIAL OPERATIONS CAPABLE) (MEU(SOC)) )〕 ==Special Operations Capable (SOC) Marine Expeditionary Units== Each Marine Expeditionary Force (MEF) has MEUs.
