The 68th Special Forces Brigade (or 68th Brigade of Special Forces) was the unconventional warfare branch of the Bulgarian Armed Forces. As such it was an independent branch, directly subordinated to the Chief of Defence since the 1st of February 2017. Before that the brigade was within the force structure of the Land Forces. It was one of two Bulgarian military special operations units. The other being the Naval Special Reconnaissance Detachment (Морски Специален Разузнавателен Отряд (МСРО)), which is a combat frogmen unit, retained within the structure of the Bulgarian Navy. The 68th SF Brigade was transformed into the Joint Special Operations Command (Bulgarian: Съвместно командване на специалните операции) on November 1, 2019.
