AFP Joint Special Operations Group

The Armed Forces of the Philippines Joint Special Operations Group (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.

History
After the September 11 attacks in 2001, the US military worked with the AFP to establish the JSOG. It was based at Camp Aguinaldo.

On April 7, 2004, JSOG operators from the K-9 platoon were involved in "Oplan Paglalayag", tasked with ensuring port security for Holy Week.

In April 2018, the AFP JSOG was deactivated and its officers and enlisted personnel were transferred to form the core of the new AFP Special Operations Command, (AFPSOCOM).
