The Special Operations Forces Branch (SOFB, French: Branche des forces d'opérations spéciales, BFOS) is a personnel branch of the Canadian Armed Forces, consisting of all members of special operations trades. Nearly all members of the SOFB are employed in Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).
