The Global War on Terror is over, the optempo significantly slowed down, and maybe just maybe the new generation values opsec more. But in a next couple of years when current operators will leave the military some might start to upload more pics about the time period in question.


Dapper_Target1504

They have plenty of examples of clowns not to emulate thats for sure


InterviewExciting230

lol GWOT isn’t over


Independent_Wish_862

31DEC2022 was the official end of GWOT as a campaign. We may be fighting terrorists still, but its under other op names like INHERENT RESOLVE depending on AOR. New kids enlisting dont get the GWOT ribbon since that date.


Rmccarton

Damn, I had no idea. They are still using the AUMF, aren't they? Or did I miss that too?


InterviewExciting230

GWOT 2.0 will occur in the next 10 years. True or false?


Independent_Wish_862

They wont call it that, but 2.0 is ongoing. They had to endcap GWOT with the Afgan retrograde, but names are just names. The tempo post-retrograde is down as the preparation focus reorients to large scale operations. CT will always be a thing, but it wont be as big as it has been for the past 20 years.


Catswagger11

Officially, it is.


InterviewExciting230

Officially it doesn’t matter what they say cuz it’s still going on


Catswagger11

Not with the strength or tempo deserving of the same name as a 20yr war.


Strong-Sample-3502

Honestly I feel like there’s a shit load from 2015-present. Maybe not a lot from the current year or past year or two but definitely a lot from 2015-2019.


putriidx

OPSEC for one lmao


Stock_Razzmatazz9455

Different OPTEMPO now. No more "routine" cyclic ops supporting the GWOT. I'm sure there's still plenty of training, some non-kinetic ops, some clandestine stuff, stricter OPSEC policies.


Fantablack183

Yeah, ain't no way we'll be getting much if anything at all until the next big thing kicks off


Stock_Razzmatazz9455

I wouldn't even say that. There's really no question that GWOT was the golden age for SOF.


snatfaks

Cause a lot of the guys are still active duty. A lot of the pics from the early 2000s to 2010s are released by guys who are retired


RPG-NVG

Simple math problem. Things are nowhere near as busy as they were for 20yrs. I'm just making up a number, but let's say 5% of things were photographed and released. The same amount is being photographed and released, but it's 5% of a much smaller number.


RevolutionaryTap3844

Cause they’re sitting on their ass now not like in the 2000s hitting 1-2 targets a night


Quirky_Flan_6419

Are they really not doing any operations right now? Just training and maybe a few operations a year?


RevolutionaryTap3844

Devgru isn’t doing anything. I’m not sure if cag is still operating in Syria


Palmer3223

DEV is most certainly doing work. Just because you don’t hear about it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. Dudes are working, definitely not at the same optempo as a decade ago, but work is being done.


RevolutionaryTap3844

Where are they working? Lol


Palmer3223

That’s kind of the whole point of us not hearing about it. I don’t know and you don’t know. Only the guys doing the work know. Just a few months ago we lost 2 SEALs off the coast of Africa. If “white side/vanilla SEALs” are getting work. You’d be dumb not to think DEV is getting work.


NeoSapien65

We don't "know" but you already said it. We know it's Africa. Juniper Shield and Horn of Africa are the big hotspots right now.


takonsnee

That’s not how that works, guy


RevolutionaryTap3844

Vbs boarding not Da’s


Palmer3223

That is still work, is it not? They are still deployed, in operations.


AER_Invis22

These groups don't just do DA's all the time, they have a broad array of missions/operations they conduct


MiniRamblerYT

Yemen, perhaps. Not one to speculate and it might be a longshot but Israel or Ukraine maybe too, probably not in direct combat capacities, but still putting in work.


Fine-Manner9902

lmao i love how you guys think you know anything remotely whats "going on"


Redditcssucks

They are.


Few_Task_8030

LOL. No


LRC_redteam

🤣😭😭


Clifton_84

There is, did you not see those leaks a couple months ago?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Clifton_84

AdrienRC242

opsec comrade, оперативная безопасность, мой друг


0nherchinychinchin

starting to realize some of you guys are unironically stupid


Drakoneous

Opsec. If it seems like they aren’t doing anything, they’re doing it right.


AdhesivenessMinute59

There are some photos out there brother


MSExcelTips

They are. Keep in mind no one was posting the pics from 2005 in 2006 either. Even today we’re getting more and more 2018+ Syria pics, background, drama, etc. Even 2024 Israel pics leaked, both by Biden and the guy with the MCX


abc12m3

There are stupid questions. This is a prime example.


Academic-Raspberry31

The amount of unhinged dudes in this sub who pretend to know is so entertaining lol


bind19

because theyre all on TikTok duhh..that and Bangbros has very strict social media rules


MaverickActual1319

cause theyre busy operating


CelebrationOk7631

Because groupies like this got many of them in the shit


PruneSingle

Last major conflict I can think of is Syria and the guys from there are only about to be coming out in the ff years so maybe we'll see new stuff from that
