Special Vehicle Operations is a program under Vehicles Facilities Assets & Capabilities (VFAC) to provide advanced offroad / 4x4 vehicle capability, and other vehicles equipped for special purposes; to support special operations, emergency response, and other missions as assigned. The program currently involves the use of privately owned vehicles (POVs) from C.A.A. personnel that have offroad capability and meet certain requirements. SVO deploys to support C.A.A. Emergency Response operations; but also engages in training, OHV assistance patrols, and light offroad vehicle recovery efforts when requested.

Currently, Special Vehicle Operations does not have an assigned uniform. Because its only unit is a Task Force, it was decided that members will wear the uniform and follow the hygiene and appearance requirements of their parent command or unit.
