Task Force 121 is an example of the United States' 'Joint Task Force' concept of conducting special operations. TF121 is a multi-service force commanded by U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Gregory L. Trebon. The spearhead of the force is a forty-man team made up of operators from the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment, U.S. Army's Delta Force, U.S. Army's INSCOM intelligence unit, the U.S. Navy's DEVGRU, the CIA's Special Activities Division, DIA personnel, and the U.S. Army 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (a.k.a. SOAR, Nightstalkers.) Other Special Operations contributions will include U.S. Air Force Combat Controllers, and U.S. Air Force Pararescue. On occasions, operators from Coalition nations (particularly Canadian, British, Australian and Polish operators) augment the TF121 and provide direct and indirect operational assistance.

“... the task of youth is not only its own salvation but the salvation of those against whom it rebels, but in that case there must be something vital to rebel against and if the elderly stiffly refuse to put up a vigorous front of their own, it leaves the entire situation in a mist.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“It will be a great day when our schools get all the money they need and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber.”
