SOF ROLES AND MISSIONS Special operations forces have a dual heritage.
They are one of the nation's key penetration and strike forces, able to respond to specialized contingencies across the conflict spectrum with stealth, speed, and precision.
They are also warrior-diplomats capable of influencing, advising, training, and conducting operations with foreign forces, officials, and populations.
These two distinct missions are complementary, allowing SOF personnel to gain regional expertise and access that enhances their ability to react to any contingency in any region of the world.

USSOCOM is commanded by a 4 star general, ASOC and the other service components are commanded by 3 stars (Lt. General), and their subordinate commands (SF Command, USACAPOC, etc) by 2 stars (Major General).
USSOCOM is one of the unified commands which rates a CINC, much like USEUCOM or CENTCOM. Commander USSOCOM is essentially commandless until forces are placed under him.
What that means is that Army USACAPOC is commanded by Army SOC until they are placed under command of USSOCOM, as they were during Desert Storm. Until then there are regulations, mission, and other activities where the component commands work closely but it isn't real firm.
Under USSOCOM there are component commands. Army Special Operations Command, NAVSPECWAR, etc. These elements exercise direct command and control under normal conditions. They write regs, handle training standards, do strength evaluations, and all the other stuff a command would do. These are normally run by a 3 star (Lt. General).
USACAPOC has command of all CA and PSYOP assets in the continental US. This is a 2 star (Major General) billet. USACPAOC This is considered SOF but no one really believes it. They, along with SF CMD and ASOC are located at Ft. Bragg.
All of these command relationships are discussed in Joint PUB 3-05, which is unclassified. 96
