The Fuerza Especial Conjunta (Joint Special Operations Command) or FEC, previously known as Fuerza Especial de Reaccion (FER) or Fuerza Especial del Alto Mando (FEAM) (High Command Special Force) is a special unit of SEDENA, under operational control of the Joint National Defense Staff (Estado Mayor Conjunto de la Defensa Nacional). The unit's missions primarily involve counterterrorism, hostage rescue, direct action, and special reconnaissance against high-value targets.[1]
FEC, and its Navy counterpart, FES are the Mexican military's tier one special mission units that are tasked with performing the most complex, covert, and dangerous missions directed by the President of Mexico.
Most FEC assaulters are selected from the Mexican Army elite Parachute Brigade and Special Forces Command, though selection is open to other conventional forces across the Army and also other branches such the Air Force and National Guard.
