“Marine Raiders, our saying is that ‘shoulder-to-shoulder’ means never above you, never below you, always beside you,” Marine Corps veteran Luke Focer told a crowd gathered at SOF Week in Tampa last. “It’s that bond created purely over blood, sweat and tears.” Focer was part of a panel discussing “Noori,” a new feature documentary following the life of Ahmad Khalid Noori, a former Afghan special operations veteran, as he struggles to integrate into his new American life. Global SOF Foundation, Onebrief and Honor the Promise brought this evening to life. Learn more about it in our link below. https://lnkd.in/eDsYyfm2

The USSOCOM Capabilities Demonstration was a huge success this year at #SOFWeek2026! The U.S. Special Operations Forces, in collaboration with 10 partner nations, took over the Tampa Bay waterfront for a high-stakes simulation featuring the future of special operations technology and tactical innovation.

⸻ “People don’t just buy capability. They buy trust in the people and the organization behind it.” One of the most unique panels at SOF Week in Tampa focused on a topic that usually sits outside the tactical conversation: personal and corporate identity. While much of the event centered around technology, operational performance, and measurable outcomes, our panel discussed how identity, brand, and messaging shape success. Katherine Torres-Pummill spoke about culture and authenticity being at the heart of success and how they shape trust and identity. Dave Larson emphasized the non-negotiables of clarity and trust in building a successful story and brand. Arthur "AC" Coley passionately shared his journey of leaving the military and learning to embrace vulnerability through mentorship. That experience helped him discover authenticity and build his personal brand. Thank you to Global SOF Foundation Recurrent , Diamondback Firearms Recurrent and Endurion for the opportunity and the conversation today. https://sofforlife.org
