As Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee’s Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee and Co-Chair of the SOF Caucus, I am proud to lead this resolution recognizing the service of our special operators and reaffirming our commitment to support them and their families.
Support U.S. Special Operations Forces and their families.
Occurrences
Bolster our Special Operations Forces and provide our military with the resources needed to deter our adversaries and safeguard American citizens.
Evidence
Jackson announced he led a bipartisan SOF Week 2026 resolution recognizing U.S. Special Operations Forces and reaffirming support for special operators and their families.
Section 863 establishes a USSOCOM initiative to accelerate research, testing, procurement, and sustainment of technologies and equipment enhancing Special Operations Forces capabilities.
Assessments
Jackson materially advanced a concrete pro-Special Operations Forces action by leading a bipartisan SOF Week 2026 resolution that explicitly reaffirmed support for special operators and their families. The enacted FY2026 NDAA also includes a USSOCOM capability initiative, but the provided evidence does not show Jackson wrote, sponsored, or materially advanced that provision, and it is not family-specific. Because the strongest candidate-linked evidence is largely symbolic while the broader statutory outcome lacks clear candidate credit, this merits partial rather than full delivery.
