The Armed Forces of the Philippines Joint Special Operations Group[2] (abbrv. as JSOG or AFP-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]
