SOF AT&L Acquisition Executive

Established in 1991, the Special Operations Forces Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics (SOF AT&L) Center is responsible for all USSOCOM research, development, acquisition, procurement, and logistics. SOF AT&L works closely with government, academia, and industry in meeting its mission to provide rapid and focused acquisition, technology, and logistics support to Warfighters, delivering the most effective capabilities to our Special Operations Forces. The SOF AT&L mission is to provide rapid and focused acquisition, technology, and acquisition logistics support to SOF Warfighters. To accomplish this mission, SOF AT&L comprises nine Program Executive Offices (C4, Fixed Wing, Maritime, Rotary Wing, SOF Digital Applications, SOF Support Activity, SOF Warrior, Services, and Special Reconnaissance) and four Directorates (Comptroller, Logistics, Procurement, and Science & Technology). Together, they manage and support the development, acquisition, and fielding of critical items to enable a no-fail mission for the SOF Warfighter. SOF AT&L executes its mission and accelerates the force by following four key acquisition principles: 1) Delivers capability to the user expeditiously; 2) Exploits proven techniques and methods; 3) Keeps Warfighters involved throughout the process; and 4) Takes risk and manages it. In a given year, SOF AT&L delivers more than 100 aircraft; 700 tactical vehicles; 4,000 weapon systems; 20 million munitions; 3,000 radios; 2,000 C4I items; and 600 ISR kits to SOF units.
