The Armed Forces of the Philippines Joint Special Operations Group[2] (abbrv. as JSOGorAFP-JSOG) was one of the AFP's units tasked in conducting counter-terrorism, unconventional-guerrilla warfare, asymmetrical warfare, and highly specialized operations.

Prior to being disbanded, the JSOG has frequently worked alongside American special forces units.[3]

History

[edit]

After the September 11 attacks in 2001, the US military worked with the AFP to establish the JSOG.[2] It was based at Camp Aguinaldo.[2]

On April 7, 2004, JSOG operators from the K-9 platoon were involved in "Oplan Paglalayag", tasked with ensuring port security for Holy Week.[4]

In April 2018, the AFP JSOG was deactivated and its officers and enlisted personnel were transferred to form the core of the new AFP Special Operations Command, (AFPSOCOM).[1]

Organization

The following structure was established in JSOG prior to its disbanding:[5]
