Middle East Special Operations Commanders Conference to take place in May

Held under the royal patronage of His Majesty King Abdullah II, MESOC 2014 is supported by the Jordanian Joint Forces Command and is the official conference of the Special Operations Forces Exhibition (SOFEX) held in Amman, Jordan every two years.

The upcoming edition of MESOC offers a carefully crafted agenda shedding light on critical issues such as operational environment complexities, enhancing mobility and firepower, C4ISR for high intensity warfare, intelligence integration and exploitation, stealth, and amphibious capabilities for sea/land counter-terrorism missions.

Gathering over 600 delegates from the global special operations forces community and leading industry partners since its inception in 2000, MESOC has consistently provided the most effective platform for special operations forces leaders and key influencers to deliver focused insights across key areas of interest to the special operations community.

With a speaker panel composed entirely of special operations commanders, MESOC exposes its audience to the latest thinking in the global special operations forces community through a series of strategic perspectives and forward-looking, technology-centric discussions.
