Das United States Army Special Operations Command (kurz USASOC oder ASOC) ist das Führungskommando für die Spezialeinheiten der US Army: U.S. Army SOF (ARSOF). Das Kommando untersteht selbst dem US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) und wurde am 1. Dezember 1989 aufgestellt. Es befindet sich in Fort Bragg (North Carolina).
USASOC koordiniert alle Einsätze der Army-Spezialeinheiten mit dem US Special Operations Command.
Mit rund 30.000 Mann (Stand 2010) an Personal ist das USASOC eines der größten Hauptkommandos der US Army. Ihm unterstehen sechs weitere Brigaden und Regimenter.
Eine Besonderheit bildet allerdings das „1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta“, die Delta Force. Obwohl eine Einheit der US Army, wird diese nicht vom USASOC geführt. Sie untersteht direkt dem US Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC).
