The handoff at MacDill

U.S. Special Operations Command quietly changed hands in Tampa on October 3, 2025. Air Force Gen. Dan Caine passed the colors to Navy Adm. Frank M. Bradley, a career SEAL and the former commander of Joint Special Operations Command, as Army Gen. Bryan P. Fenton retired after a long run in Special Forces. The moment was ceremonial on the stage and consequential behind the curtain, the kind of transfer that sets tone and priorities for every American special operator from Coronado to Camp Lejeune.

Frank Bradley became the 14th Commander of USSOCOM ….

There is no better commander than Adm. Bradley to continue to accelerate the incredible work being done at the tip of the spear ….
