"These special operators will over time be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence, and capture ISIL leaders," Carter told the House Armed Services Committee in prepared remarks, using an acronym for Islamic State.
The expanded role of these special operations forces will include combat, Carter said.
He also emphasized the importance of the international community stepping up to help out in the fight against the Islamic State (also known as ISIS and Daesh).
"The international community … has to step up before another attack like Paris," Carter said. "... We all, let me repeat, all must do more."
