Dear Mr. Johnston,
We have received your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request submitted to U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), which is copied below. It has been assigned USSOCOM FOIA 2020-080. Please refer to this number should you have any questions concerning your request.
Your request is being processed in accordance with procedural requirements promulgated in Department of Defense (DoD) Manual 5400.07, which is available on the internet at: https://open.defense.gov/Portals/23/Documents/FOIA/FOIA_Resources/DoDM%205400.07.pdf?ver=2017-03-15-135646-847. The actual processing time will depend upon its complexity, whether it involves sensitive records, voluminous records, extensive searches, consultation among DoD components or other agencies, and our administrative workload.
We have placed you in the "News Media" category for fee purposes, which means you are obligated to pay for any duplication costs after the first 100 pages; however, depending on the size of the documents, we may provide the final release on CD or electronically and no charges would be applicable.
The USSOCOM FOIA Office has a substantial number of pending FOIA cases; therefore, we process requests in a multi-track processing system based on the date of receipt and the amount of work and time involved in processing each request. We estimate the time for completion to be approximately 18-24 months; it could be more or less. If you wish to discuss this or have any other questions or concerns, please contact this office at FOIA@socom.mil<mailto:FOIA@socom.mil>.

USSOCOM FOIA Team

Your request, as in the case of all requests, is being processed as expeditiously as possible given the number of backlog requests in our queue that were received ahead of yours. We continue to process requests one by one and provide final responses to requesters as soon as they are completed. Our estimated time of completion of this complex request is 3-6 months, it could be less.
Thank you for your time and patience.
