"Unveiling Ongoing Sexism: Women in US Army Special Operations Forces Face Persistent Bias"

A study conducted by the US Army Special Operations Command reveals that women serving in the US Army's elite Special Operations Forces face significant discrimination, including sexual harassment and sexism from their male counterparts.

"Ukraine's Strategic Moves in the War Against Russia"

Ukrainian special operations forces are conducting covert operations, including acts of sabotage, drone strikes, and targeted assassinations, to prepare the ground for an upcoming counteroffensive against Russian forces. These actions are part of a concerted effort to "shape the battlespace" and limit the adversary's options. The Ukrainian SOF have access to superior NATO equipment and have been trained by NATO SOF. The current missions carried out by the Ukrainian SOF are in stark contrast with their role at the onset of the full-scale invasion when they took on more conventional combat roles.

Ukrainian Special Forces Take on Russia in Counteroffensive.

Ukrainian special operators, trained by US Green Berets, have been using their skills to shape the battlefield and undermine Russian forces in the ongoing conflict. They will play a key role in Ukraine's upcoming counteroffensive, which aims to break through Russian lines. US trainers have been working remotely with Ukrainian commandos since their withdrawal from Ukraine last year. Ukrainian special operators have adapted their training to deal with conventional threats like tanks and have added their own "local" flavor to their tactics.
