Summary/Abstract: Through a careful analysis, after defining the new operational environment as close to reality as possible, we have identified the necessity of employing strongly adaptive forces due to its permanently changing nature. Subsequently, we have made a comparison from this point of view between the conventional forces and the special operations forces, taking into account the new trends in the evolution of the global conflicts.At the end of this scientific communication, we have put forward arguments to support the idea that special operations forces are identified as necessary and effective in a regional context which is characterized by an increasing instability that tends to become normality. Special operations forces are not only efficient, they are highlighted as effective and the only ones which,with the appropriate support, are able to achieve the established strategic goal.
