US SOCOM (United States Special Operations Command)
Task Force 121, like the earlier Task Force 5 (in Afghanistan)
and Task Force 20 (in Iraq), are temporary operations
organized by the U.S. SOCOM (Special Operations Command).
The cutting edge troops are Special Forces, Delta
Force and SEALs. Support is provided by SOCOMs own fleet
of specialized aircraft, plus intelligence and other
personnel. Perhaps the most potent aspect of operations
like Task Force 121 is their ability to work closely with
the CIA, FBI, DIA and other intelligence agencies. The
CIA, in particular, has long been eager to work with SOCOM troops.
U.S. Special Operations Command runs special operations
of a temporary,
local nature, like Task Force 5 (Afghanistan), Taskforce 20 (Iraq),
and Task Force
121. Socom is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base, FL.

TASK FORCE 20
apparently a combination of Army Special Forces, Delta Force and Navy
SEALs,
run out of Baghdad International Airport. No websites, just a few articles.

| From The Guardian: US special forces teams are already
behind the lines
inside Syria attempting to kill foreign jihadists before they cross the border, and a group focused on the "neutralisation" of guerrilla leaders is being set up, according to sources familiar with the operations. "This is basically an assassination programme. That is
what is

"It is bonkers, insane. Here we are - we're already being
compared to Sharon in the Arab world, and we've just confirmed it by bringing in the Israelis and setting up assassination teams." |
