The CSOR-A provides targeted support to currently serving and retired members and their families, as

A robust and adaptable tool in the Canadian Armed Forces operational arsenal, CSOR combines mobility and firepower with a host of special operations skills required to conduct and enable operations at home and abroad. Formed in 2006, CSOR is internationally recognized for being an innovative, cutting-edge force. The men and women of CSOR provide Canada's Special Operations Forces with a public face representative of the CAFs’ very best: fit, resourceful, mature, motivated, thinking warriors.

CSOR proudly traces its roots to the First Special Service Force (FSSF), the fabled Canadian-American Special Forces unit that was stood-up in 1942 and earned the “Black Devils” moniker for daring night raids on N**i forces at the Anzio beachhead. CSOR proudly carries the Black Devils’ battle honours, and the Devils’ spirit lives on at CSOR. This historical connection is also perpetuated today by the United States Army Special Forces, better known as the Green Berets. Both CSOR and the Green Berets have and continue to work closely together around the globe during missions in Afghanistan, Jamaica, Mali and Niger. Currently, CSOR and Green Berets are cooperating in the fight against ISIS in Iraq.
