SOC-Africa T-shirt
How to find your best fit
Measure a well-fitting shirt you already own and compare it with the measurements below.
- Chest width: Lay the shirt flat and measure one inch below the armhole, from side seam to side seam.
- Back length: Measure from the center back neckline to the bottom hem.
- Shoulder width: Measure straight across the back from shoulder seam to shoulder seam.
- Sleeve length: Measure from the shoulder seam to the end of the sleeve unless the chart notes otherwise.
Measurements are in inches. Allow for a manufacturing tolerance of approximately 0.5 to 1 inch.

Special Operations Command Africa (SOCAFRICA) is a highly elite, joint subordinate unified command under the United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). Established in 2008, SOCAFRICA is responsible for executing the full spectrum of special operations missions across the African continent. Rather than operating as a conventional unilateral force, SOCAFRICA relies on a specialized “advise, assist, and accompany” strategy, deploying operators from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to work alongside allied African security forces.
Operating effectively in the “gray zone” between traditional war and peace, SOCAFRICA forces deploy to highly austere environments to build operational capacity, conduct crisis response, and systematically dismantle Violent Extremist Organizations. From the Sahel and Maghreb regions in the West to the Horn of Africa in the East, SOCAFRICA maintains a small but lethal footprint, safeguarding regional stability, protecting U.S. interests, and countering asymmetric threats alongside partner nations.
