Global Reliance on SOF

The reemergence of global security threats that most thought ended with the ‘Cold War’ era has reinforced a world-wide reliance upon NATO forces to serve as the primary threat-deterrent on the European continent, with an increased dependency on NATO SOF for ‘less-than-total-war’ operations.

All modern SOF requires training and proficiency in modern state-of-the-art tactical, operational, and strategic subjects spanning the entire SOF operational continuum – from overt direct-action missions against an armed and aggressive enemy to teaching indigenous and partner forces to defend their homeland.

Mayvin’s role in these events is to help our nation by assisting our NATO partner forces with access to top quality, operationally proven, U.S. based, SOF focused training programs.   

The Mayvin Team provides knowledge of former senior SOF Operators whose combined SOF specific experience totals hundreds of thousands of training hours in subjects including aviation operations, military free-fall, open sea and riverine infiltration, and all tactical ground force subjects.

Included in this experience is 30+ years of operational deployments to every theater of war that the U.S. has deployed to from 1982 through the present day.
