Special Mission Unit
The term Special Mission Unit or Special Missions Unit (SMU) is used to describe some elite〔Bennet (2001), p. 189.〕 special operations forces around the world. The term has been applied to the British Special Air Service, Special Boat Service, Australian Defence Force's Special Air Service Regiment, JTF2 and four United States special operations forces units. Special mission units have been involved in high profile military operations such as the death of Osama Bin Laden and capture of Saddam Hussein.
==United States==
Special mission units are commanded and controlled by Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). In addition to performing highly classified activities the special mission units are also tasked with "special missions", sometimes referring to unconventional warfare, counter-terrorist activities, direct action, Special reconnaissance, and/or black operations.〔Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) – Special Mission Units http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/dod/jsoc.htm〕 So far, only three SMUs have been publicly disclosed: The Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta, the Navy's Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), and the Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron. Units from the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment and 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (160th SOAR) are controlled by JSOC when deployed as part of JSOC Task Forces such as Task Force 121 and Task Force 145.
The Intelligence Support Activity (ISA) is also under JSOC and has been referred to as a special mission unit. The ISA collects specific target intelligence prior to SMU missions, and provides signals support, etc. during those mission. The Army once maintained the ISA, but after the September 11 attacks, the Pentagon shifted direct control to Joint Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, NC.
