Gorgor (English: The Eagle) is a Somali special forces unit established in 2017 through a bilateral agreement with Turkey, with training conducted in Isparta, Turkey, and at Camp TURKSOM in Mogadishu. Gorgor specializes in counterterrorism, operations, and rapid response missions, and has played a key role in the Somali government's military campaign against the Al-Shabaab insurgency.
