Summary/Abstract: The author reckons that, through the establishment of the force structure for special operations, the national political-military decision-makers are provided with a viable instrument, able to achieve strategic results. The preparation procurement of and state-of-the-art equipment make these forces a power multiplier of conventional forces by the fact that they are able to use force not only selectively but also in proportion to the size of the threat. In addition to achieving significant power and resources savings, the collateral damage and adverse effects caused by conventional responses are limited almost to the minimum. In turn, the special operations component manages to ensure an effective coordination of the implementation of political and military decisions in the structures of special operations forces of the Romanian Armed Forces.
