The Green Berets and the U.S. Army Special Forces Charitable Trust have recognized U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre for his support of their operations.
McIntyre, the Lumberton Democrat who has represented the 7th Congressional District for 16 years, received an award last month from the groups for his role in founding and co-chairing the Special Operations Forces Congressional Caucus, according to a press release the congressman’s office issued Tuesday.
“The caucus was started in an effort to recognize the critical role that Special Operations Forces and the U.S. Special Operations Command have in national security missions,” the release explained.
Special Operations Forces include the Green Berets, Army Rangers, Navy SEALs, Air Force Special Operations and the Marine Special Operations Regiment, among others.
McIntyre is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and serves on its Subcommittee on Seapower and Projection Forces. He has also served as vice-chairman of the Subcommittee on Terrorism.
