Christopher Kyle receives award from Adm Olson

Deputy Commander U.S. Special Operations Command

Skip directly to the full story. By BILLY HOUSE The Tampa Tribune Published: Jul 7, 2007

WASHINGTON - Eric Olson officially takes over the helm of U.S. Special Operations Command on Monday during a change-of-command ceremony set for the Tampa Convention Center.

In becoming the eighth person to head Socom, Olson will essentially assume the role as lead combatant commander in the global war on terror.

Secretary of Defense William Gates is to preside over Monday's ceremony.

On Friday, Olson received his promotion to full admiral from vice admiral, after his confirmation last week by the U.S. Senate to become the first Navy officer to run Socom.

No statements from Olson were issued.

The 55-year-old Naval Academy Graduate has since 2003 been deputy commander of Socom, headquartered at Tampa's MacDill Air Force Base.

He succeeds Army Gen. Bryan "Doug" Brown, who is retiring.

Socom is a confederation of soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines who take on the most dangerous assignments in often the worst conditions. Olson is not expected to say much publicly in the coming weeks as he focuses on meeting with troops under his command and other duties tied to his new job, said Ken McGraw, Socom's deputy public affairs officer.

Olson has said major challenges will be prioritizing the employment of special operations forces, transforming Socom's fixed-wing fleet, maintaining and streamlining acquisition processes, and increasing the special operation forces while ensuring quality and maturity.

Hi Doc Rio,

I have been in Cu Lao Dung island 1970 while Dick Marcinko was there. But I did not know Larry Bradley. Thats why I forwarded your email to my LDNN to find out whoever was there and knew Larry?

Note: To Dick, did you remember while you were in Cu Lao Dung (Naval base) . One night the guard did shot an alarm from his guard tower. It was two guys from LDNN crawed back from the navy supply stuff.

You and other SEALs came out when you heard fire. You did help those two LDNN guys out of the wire (Centina) to back their barrack? Later I was with you and Hen (Chief team) to Can Tho for hitch a bus back to LDNN's headquater.

I wanted to thank you for some money which you had exchanged in Can Tho for my bus's ticket.
