"Today the DOD has started the process of formalizing what we have long known, the fundamental roll of US Special Operations in defense and foreign policy, by elevating Special Operations Forces to a level on par with Military Departments as authorized and directed by Congress.
As we enact these reforms, we follow the vision of President John F Kennedy, who predicted the rise of Special Operations nearly 60 years ago.
He foresaw, "Another type of war. New in it's intensity, ancient in it's origin, that would require a whole new kind of strategy. A wholly different kind of force. Forces which are too unconventional to be called conventional forces, which are growing in number and importance and significance. President Kennedy gave these remarks at the opening of the Nuclear Age. When the Pentagon was primarily organized to plan and direct large conventional operations against super powers, not Special Operations short of overt declared conflict.
The global demand for Special Operation Forces, then and now, has confirmed President Kennedy's foresight. And now, under the leadership of President Trump,
We are fully realizing President Kennedy's prescient view of Special Operations Forces
It is fitting that we are now entering an era of great power competition as we gather to affirm the importance of the Special Operations Community.
Then as now, I know Special Operations forces will play a vital roll and by the historic reforms we have enacted today, we will ensure Special Operations Forces will have a civilian advocate commensurate to the secretaries of the other Military Departments.
I am honored to serve as your secretary.
Thank you very much.
