Not that anyone ever listens to me
, but the AOR referred to as "Asia" in the Area Studies section actually refers to the
Asia-Pacific AOR of the
U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM), and by extension
Special Operations Command Pacific (SOCPAC).
The forums are oriented toward the areas covered by the regional commands and their corresponding special operations component commands. The Special Forces Groups have their primary orientation to these regions; thus, this is the AOR of 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne).
I would have called it "Asia-Pacific".
