Lieutenant General Philip R. Kensinger Jr. was Commanding Officer of USASOC during preparation of this book and his signature is given under the USASOC Foreword. In addition, there is an additional USASOC signed foreword by Kensinger's predecessor, Lieutenant General Bryan D. Brown. Although these might be auto-penned, appearance on the high gloss pages shows signature ink differing from printed ink. Signatures appear authentic to me.
