Hi Pk52
the chart is correct as it is about the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) and not the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM); the (USASOC) and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) are both subordinated to the USSOCOM. The Structure of USSOCOM is as follows:

therefore the chart is correct in every detail. --noclador (talk) 18:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the debate is raging on wikipedia what is a SF and what is a SOF unit... (i.e. see: List of special forces units); as allies like Italy, France and the UK label units comparable to the 160th as SF units I decided to use the SF unit symbol for all of them. --noclador (talk) 10:36, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, changed; --noclador (talk) 18:54, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I am already working on such a chart,... and it is almost complete - only the Air-force is missing and the problem is that at this point I have found 4 different Order of Battle for the Air Force Special Operations Command that contradict each other... even the Air Force Special Operations Command homepage has 2 different listings of its units... 23 Air Force present, but 27th Special Operations Wing and other units missing - 27th Special Operations Wing present, but 23 Air Force missing... and on wikipedia the same mess version a - version b... can you help sort this mess out??? thanks, --noclador (talk) 00:41, 2 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

btw: this is the point at which I am:

Hi Pk52, I never saw an answer from you... it disappeared? where did you write it? as for the chart - I got my hands on the USSOCOM Fact Book 2009 and took a lot of information from there; the graphic above is based on the information I found there. If you could correct any errors I would be grateful (and you can leave your answer here - I have this page on my talkpage) --noclador (talk) 18:12, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Key for Shapes/Colors/Labels

[edit]

The chart uses many different colors/graphics/box-shapes that seem to be indicative of something for each node on the graph. Can you provide a key in order to describe what each color/graphic means? For example:


Colors:

  • green
  • blue
  • red

Symbols:

  • bowtie (filled and unfilled)
  • infinity symbol
  • lighting bolt

Node Shapes:

  • box
  • box with two lines
  • circle

Source Format

[edit]

It occured to me that some of the shapes may be an artifact of the program used to generate the chart. Do you have a source file? What program did you use? I would be willing to convert the file to a graphviz graph in order to make future edits easier.
