DELTA FORCE

[/quote]DELTA FORCE

The US Army's Combat Applications Group or 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta (Airborne), more commonly known as Delta Force or just Delta, is one of the world's premier counter terrorist units. Although initially formed as a dedicated counter terrorist and hostage rescue unit, Delta is also tasked with specialized missions that require small units. These missions would include special reconnaissance, security for US assets in high risk areas, hunting and arresting fugitives and war criminals outside the US ("snatches") and even assassination of enemy military leaders. They often operate with the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment and the Navy's DevGroup.

History

Delta was formed in 1977 by the legendary Special Forces commando Col. Charles "Chargin' Charlie" Beckwith. In 1962 Beckwith, who was then a Special Forces sergeant, was chosen to spend a year with 22 SAS under an exchange program. During his tour he became aware of some serious shortcomings in the way the US Special Forces functioned.

At that time soldiers were assigned to Special Forces instead of volunteering. This stood in sharp contrast to the SAS where volunteers underwent an extremely strenuous selection process with high attrition rates to earn their place in the Regiment. This method ensured only the most qualified and highly motivated men made it to the unit. Beckwith also noticed a difference in the behavior of the SAS men compared with his US Army spit-and-polish style. Beckwith recalls in his book, Delta Force, how he walked into the barracks to meet his troop for the first time only to see their kit strewn about and two SAS men brewing tea right in the middle of the room! His first instinct was to "clean up" his troop but he soon learned that among professionals who respect each other salutes, rank and spit-and-polish were not necessary.

Beckwith served with 22 SAS until he was evacuated from the jungles of Malaya with a severe infection. After he returned home, Beckwith set about trying to incorporate his experiences into the Special Forces but he met with stiff resistance and suspicion from his superiors. Nevertheless, he continued to advocate the practices of the SAS - like the four man patrol as opposed to the Special Forces 12 man A Team - every chance he got. Finally, as a result of the plague of terrorist incidents in the early to mid seventies, the US Army began to consider putting together an elite unit to combat terrorism. Beckwith felt his type of unit, small and highly specialized, would be ideal for the job. He dug out the proposal for the unit, which he wrote on his return trip to the US from Britain, and went about trying to gain approval.

Almost immediately internal politics and inter group rivalry reared their ugly heads. Special Forces felt there was no need to form a new unit, but instead their own men could be trained in counter terrorist warfare. Even the Rangers jumped in saying that the mission should be theirs. However, Beckwith felt that a dedicated unit should exist that specialized and trained exclusively in the black arts of counter terrorist warfare. Eventually after months of bickering, Beckwith finally formed 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta. It was still only after a few more months of struggling that Special Forces commanders and, later, the Rangers allowed their best men to show up for selection.

I'm going to have to go with Ichbabe on this one. The Salvation Army sends their soldiers behind enemy lines and they take various forms to disguise their legions. Often they look like Santa Claus, while doing their dirty work, slowly degrading the US economy by taking your quarters and nickels during Christmas time. To end out, I'll deliver a really bad pun. "Delta makes all the difference."

the best is would have to say that there are 5 really high up there

delta
grom
devgru
astralian sas
british sas

as for which is the best they all train together and all are very similar

the grene berets are very good too. they had a school in vietnam where the final test to pass was actually a mission behind enemy lines where the instructor tried to make contact with the enemy. that is one test you dont want to fail.

Hands down the British sf are the worlds premeir special forces and set the standard to which all other sf try to achive altough SBS are infact probably better than SAS due to the fact that they are less publicly recognised and so they get most of the black ops and have been known to do work for the CIA, chosen over Delta or Seals, because they recognise the SBS's profesionalism and skill , can do everything SAS can do and more plus the training is longer and more tough. Plus they have to be RM commandos in the first place so they have to complete the longest and toughest basic infantry training in the world(30 weeks basic).

It has also beem knowm for Delta and Seals on loan to the SAS to fail the SAS/SBS training.

So i would say that the Best SF in the world SBS has been left out which is a shame.

I would say that
1.SBS
2.SAS
3.Delta Force (afterall they where founded by a serving SAS member)

Is anyone else getting a little tired of these "my dad can beat up your dad" kind of loaded polls. It's all subjective, especially when one is asking a bunch of guys who have never even met A real operator, let alone a cross section of the different services. I say loaded, because there are a whole lot of high speed units left out. I might say PJs are the best, that's because that's who I am exposed to on a regular basis, however, I don't know any Special Forces (I do know one former SF guy) and I don't know any SEALS or any of the other units out there. I do get the impression, from the real operators I talk to, that they all cross train, they are all superbe at their individual missions, and they are all top notch. So when someone says "DEVGRU is the best special operations group (or whatever is their pet unit), I tent to think they don't know what they are talking about. :roll:

One more thing, the only SF is Army, all others are SOF. OK, rant complete.

I like DELTA more than SF A-Detachment teams because DELTA does more Direct Action(DA) missions such as hostage rescue and not non-DA stuff like training foreign guerillas to attack their nation and being diplomats and etc. screw that I like DIRECT ACTION-- Just like what 75th Rangers and Infantry does--- I dont know why some people are so fascinated over units like SF/SEALs when infantry gets to do more DA than SF--- I bet some of these adolescents "didnt know" about the unconventional warfare part or the training and dealing with other nations locals/military etc.

digitalghost
07-15-2003, 01:13 PM

Really? Know what rogeing intenral defense is? Training foregin military-- I'd rather do DA


Navy Special Warfare mission areas include unconventional warfare, direct action, combating terrorism, special reconnaissance, foreign internal defense, information warfare, security assistance, counter-drug operations, personnel recovery and hydrographic reconnaissance.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/navy/navspecwarcom.htm

I tend to categorize training guerilas/training military into one category basiclaly TRAINING OTHER PEOPLE which is not what id like to do


and believe me sf gets to see way more action than infantry grunt, plus they have to lead the guerillas they were teaching into combat also

Maybe, but are they doing DA action or UW action? Basically SF doenst do as much DA as infantry.... Sure they do DA but baisically:

SF does:

UW + DA

Infantry does:

DA

Digital -
Beowulf wrote it best when he wrote - sigh..

Hey join the infantry then deploy and sit in the wire overseas....

Infantry has a job not all can do, but it is by NO means even at the top of the most deployed or used units in the inventory.

I know SOF reservists and national gaurdsman that have more time down range per year that most AD 11b and 11bp. If you want that kind of life in the infantry go 75th and put or shut up - but the reality is you are guessing on what you don't know.

The standard infantry soldier is not nearly as deployed as many of the other troops in the ranks, nor are they given the freedom to travel outside the wire when they are. The reality is you may get deployed but it is likely that you won't or you will end up spening the bulk of your time sitting on your ass. per man, per unit v/s the same ration in the army the standard infantrymans optemp for "in the box" deployments isn't that high - unless you count JRTC, NTC, brightstar, cobra gold and ofcourse the Ft Campbell - "operation trash eagle" (post clean up) and much of the deployemnts in past years, not so much the last 2 years optemp, but not the fives years prior - unless you count sitting in the behind the wire in kosovo, bosnia or macedonia - or North Korea DA.


I AM NOT knocking the infantry - an army is useless with out it. And ultimately they are the force the is expected to walk into the valley (usually when everyone knows they are coming); but your comments are not on the mark. (you stated that SF are not infantry?? - I wonder why the field behind the tab and patch is blue - and they are authorized the eib/cib?)

You have also in other posts commented that you need no education and intelligence to be in the infantry - VERY very wrong - the multitasking skills needed in the infantry is in high demand, with ever more complicated equipment and TTP's being employed and used by those forces - overall the current trend is for the infantry to keep getting smaller, faster, and smarter.

What have then done in the time post GW1 to US invasion of afghanistan?

- How does peacekeeping in the balkans sound? is that DA enough for you
- or maybe peacekeeping in haiti - after taking over for the marines ?
- In Honduras the 101st provided humanitarian assistance. They sent JTF-BRAVO, a helicopter battalion, to take supplies to the villages that are inaccessible by roads. By using Chinooks or large cargo helicopters the supplies can easily be delivered to National Guard Units who can then use them to build schools, houses, ect.... The division has units there often

- During 1994 a flood of Cuban migrants were making their way to the US by any means possible. Many of them were intercepted by the US Coast Guard and taken to US installations in Panama. Within the holding camps disorder and riots broke out causing some US service members to be injured. Because of the 101st ability to react quickly the were called upon to restore order. In Jan. 1995 two battalions ( First and Third ) from the 502nd infantry were sent to Panama for operation "Safe Passage". By the end of the operation 3,500 migrants had be safely escorted for processing.

The 101 has a proud lineage and excellant history but like them for what they; are not what you make them up to be - after all they only do DA according to you. -

Heres an excerpt JUST FOR YOU:


I studied the life of Abraham Lincoln for
ten years and devoted all of three years to writing and
rewriting a book entitled Lincoln the Unknown. I believe
I have made as detailed and exhaustive a study of
Lincoln’s personality and home life as it is possible for
any being to make. I made a special study of Lincoln’s
method of dealing with people. Did he indulge in criticism?
Oh, yes. As a young man in the Pigeon Creek
Valley of Indiana, he not only criticized but he wrote
letters and poems ridiculing people and dropped these
letters on the country roads where they were sure to be
found. One of these letters aroused resentments that
burned for a lifetime.

Even after Lincoln had become a practicing lawyer in
Springfield, Illinois, he attacked his opponents openly
in letters published in the newspapers. But he did this
just once too often.

In the autumn of 1842 he ridiculed a vain, pugnacious
politician by the name of James Shields. Lincoln lamned
him through an anonymous letter published in
Springfield Journal. The town roared with laughter.
Shields, sensitive and proud, boiled with indignation.
He found out who wrote the letter, leaped on his horse,
started after Lincoln, and challenged him to fight a duel.
Lincoln didn’t want to fight. He was opposed to dueling,
but he couldn’t get out of it and save his honor. He was
given the choice of weapons. Since he had very long
arms, he chose cavalry broadswords and took lessons in
sword fighting from a West Point graduate; and, on the
appointed day, he and Shields met on a sandbar in the
Mississippi River, prepared to fight to the death; but, at
the last minute, their seconds interrupted and stopped
the duel.

That was the most lurid personal incident in Lincoln’s
life. It taught him an invaluable lesson in the art of dealing
with people. Never again did he write an insulting
letter. Never again did he ridicule anyone. And from that
time on, he almost never criticized anybody for anything.

Ever notice how "hush hush" the Canadian JTF2 are I mean i havent seen one pic of JTF2 soldiers that dont have their faces blurred or something. Even in that inside Canada's elite special forces book I kinda forget what its called but anyways all the soldiers faces are covered. Also I mean until a few years ago the Canadian government denied the existence of such a task force and to this day are very hush hush about their operations. The Americans however are very open with information about who they are and what they do. I'm not knockin the Americans but dont they think that by revealing any information about their SF troops they allow for certain info to be obtained by for lack of a better word "enemies" of the US.

Nawlins
07-15-2003, 10:42 PM
Good point about the JTF2, I had never even heard of them... but I'm no expert.

I wouldn't say that the American SOF gives out just "any information." IMHO they give enough to satisfy the media hounds and keep as much as they can to themselves. But when you're in the elite groups of the largest military force, it's kind of difficult to keep completely out of sight.

Just my opinion. Anybody have info to back that up?

rob
07-15-2003, 11:14 PM
hell i didnt even know canada had a army. seriously though, because they are part of a more famous and active army i think it be natureal that more is know. but i do think the army should just shut up the media. i dont mean withhold all information but dont let them stay with troops and make clear boundries that are not to be crossed.

The Australian SASR had the highest kill ratio in the Afghan war, comapred to the US and UK soldiers there.( i am 90% sure of this statement :) )

There was also one battle where they saved a whole lot of US grunts who got ambushed on the side of a hill, the SASR called in a perfect air strike(with the help of US pilots i might add).

Andyman here's a picture of the JTF-2........

http://cbc.ca/news/indepth/background/gfx/apcbcnewsonline_afg_2984006.jpg

The Canadian government is very quite and sensitive about the JTF-2, when that photo was leaked to the media the Minister of Defense lost his job because he did not tell the Prime Minister that we had prisoners, and then the Media as usual started making a fuss over it blada blada therefore it lead to the firing of the Defense Minister.

The only information the public get from the the JTF-2 is from the American military.

This is off the CBC site


We learned just before Christmas that JTF2 was part of a seven-nation operation called Task Force K-Bar during the campaign in Afghanistan. Task Force K-Bar took part in 42 reconnaissance and surveillance missions, as well as what U.S. military authorities call “direct action” operations. JTF2 soldiers were part of commando operations that killed at least 115 Taliban and al-Qaeda fighters and captured 107 senior Taliban leaders over a six-month period.

JTF2 commandos led a mountain climb in Afghanistan to reach a high-altitude observation post. The Canadians also entered caves looking for enemy forces and intelligence. One of their missions, called Operation Anaconda, took place last March when JTF2 soldiers stationed themselves high in the Afghanistan mountains to feed information to army units on the ground.

The Canadians worked with U.S. Navy commandos and elite forces from Australia. U.S. Navy Commander Kerry Metz, director of operations for Task Force K-Bar, praised the work of the “foreign” commandos to members of Congress.

“We were fortunate to have the finest special operators from a coalition of seven nations,” Metz said. “We challenged our operators to conduct missions in some of the most hostile environments ever operated in. For example, we had special reconnaissance teams operating in the mountains of Afghanistan above 10,000 feet for extended periods without resupply.”

I guess we fortunate that we have that information.........

Hands down the British sf are the worlds premeir special forces and set the standard to which all other sf try to achive altough SBS are infact probably better than SAS due to the fact that they are less publicly recognised and so they get most of the black ops and have been known to do work for the CIA, chosen over Delta or Seals, because they recognise the SBS's profesionalism and skill , can do everything SAS can do and more plus the training is longer and more tough. Plus they have to be RM commandos in the first place so they have to complete the longest and toughest basic infantry training in the world(30 weeks basic).

It has also beem knowm for Delta and Seals on loan to the SAS to fail the SAS/SBS training.

So i would say that the Best SF in the world SBS has been left out which is a shame.

I would say that
1.SBS
2.SAS
3.Delta Force (afterall they where founded by a serving SAS member)

This post is loaded.

Number one; If SBS is so 'less recognized' maybe you can point out why they are known to do missions for the CIA, chosen over SFOD or SEAL's.

Number two; SBS doesn't do more. They do different. RM may have a longer and tougher basic infantry training but I fail to recognize how that makes SBS better, care to explain? Because their target recruits are better trained? What, do you think SFOD or SAS recruit green recruits right out of boot?

Number three; Delta Force was not founded by a serving SAS member. Last I checked Col. Charlie Beckwith served in the US ARMY SF before he created and commanded Delta Force. He did attend an SF/SAS exchange twenty years before hand and witnessed the Malaysian conflict first hand with the SAS.

Who gives a defecation(which means "**** "defecation is an exellent alternative I must say, and most politically correct extremists would agree) so let me start again......

------------

Who gives a defecation if people tell me im wrong or if I dont know anything? One should question what the hecks important to me when saying that. If I say:

"Hey I like 75th Ranger Regiment and will join. Why? Becuase I want to join a unit which does 100% DIRECT ACTION High Speed missions unlike infantry who does YES DA but unfortunately humanitarian and peacekeeping; In fact I saw a 101st soldier on this site policing the traffic LMAO----- And I dont want to join SF becuase they dont do 100% DA either they train other people and do dipomatic stuff and thats not what i want to do"

Now if I said that what i know or dont know doenst even matter--- what i found out is this:

Infantry = DA + Humanitarian/PeaceKeeping
Rangers = DA
SF = DA + UW
Delta = SURGICAL DA(Hostage Rescue)

As you can see the level of "DA" eliteness is 1)Delta 2)Rangers yes sounds like BHD but who can say that SF does a better job at surgical DA(hostage rescue) than DELTA or that army infantry(101, 82, etc.) does better DA than the rangers----- Its all about DA and my first selection would be 1)RANGERS then 2)DELTA if possible

Take MOGADISHU for example-- Why dindt DOD send SF instead of DELTA? Because DELTA did better Surgical DA than SF. Why dindt DOD send 101st Airborne instead of the Rangers? Becuase rangers did better DA

Also, why make fun of people and call each other names? Dont you guys have any morals and ethics? Why put someone down and arouse resentment and hatred just to get your self esteem up? Why not corect their mistakes, praise them and help them out with knowledge instead of getting hostile evil and angry. Thats bad.. and you know what I think---- YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Negative, they are SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES(SOF); ARMY SPECIAL FORCES(SF) are the U.S. Army Special Forces Command's 1 of 4 Special Forces Operational Detachments which is "Special Forces Operational Detachment A (SFOD A)" or "A Teams" the B+C Detachments are something else which you can read about here:

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/arsfc.htm

The newest "D" detachment referred to as "Delta" is of course our favourite AntiTerrorist Unit :D

***EDIT ----- Rangers are also 1 of 4 Units in the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC); The other 3 are:

1st Special Forces Operational Detachment / Delta - "Delta Force"

Naval Special Warfare Development Group - (SEAL Team Six)

160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) - "Night Stalkers"

http://www.specialoperations.com/Units/JSOC/default2.htm

GoRanger, actually US Special Forces pretty much do recruit right out of Boot, its called the 18X program. SBS takes Royal Marines with three years service in one of the toughest infantry units in the world. SEALs take sailors with 3 years experience swabbing decks, who has the better apptitude?

to Digitalghost - Don't take your lesson from a book/movie - SF ODAs WERE in somalia. Your primary source should not have been a movie - and I believe even this sight offers pictures of atleast one team from 5th SFG(A) in Somalia

to Mortimer - your wrote "The Australian SASR had the highest kill ratio in the Afghan war, comapred to the US and UK soldiers there.( i am 90% sure of this statement ) " - What is your evidence a news article or your brothers cousin, neighbors who once claimed he was there. How in the hell would you be 90% sure? were you there? NO - even if you were were you wasting your time on operations keeping tabs? NO Would you have any first hand intimate knowledge of what other forces were doing to make a comparision (when they are located 1000s of Klicks away) NO.

And to be technical, if you mean number of kills per man - if you don't bet every dollar you own on the gunners for the AC 130 Spectre 's you would be extremely lacking in any real knowledge.

About them doing missions for the CIA i read that in a book by an Ex SBS guy it was a factual book about there training and stuff i think it was called first into action.
Ok i will explain if ypor feeble brain cannot work it out the reason they are better is that the SAS recruit there operators from basic infantry, whereas the SBS only recruit from RM which are almost special forces in themseves. Then SBS operators have to complete the grueling SAS training which is world renowned for being the worlds hardest training, even after that they must complete SBS training which consists of Submarine incursion and canoe assault and also parachuting into the sea.
They also have to canoe miles and miles offshore in the dark and run 15 miles carrying canoes.

So the reason this makes them the best is because SAS , Delta Force deal with CT aswell as normal SF work, whereas the SBS are trained in all of this aswell as seabourne assault and Ship clearance , all this makes them the most versatile SF in the world.

So Go ranger if u r still not convinced then you r obviously to stupid or pround to except that the worlds best SF is in fact not american altough i have checked on the internet and I must conceide that you are right about Delta Force not being founded by a SAS man but he still created Delta Force after being inspired by the expertise of the SAS.

And you are right about U.S special forces not needing as much previous service to join. Nevrtheless Delta are an excellent SF just not as good as SAS/SBS, you can find proof of this anywhere.

Oh then excuses my little brain but I wasn't aware Delta Operatives didn't attend LRS, HALO, SOTIC, Pathfinder, Air Assault, Combat Diver, SFAS, RIP, SERE, Sniper, Ranger, Airborne, nor Jumpmaster school before they even attend the Delta Force selection program. I wasn't aware Delta didn't recruit out of the Special Forces. But then again, who am I to speak. SBS can run 15 miles with a canoe. Yeah, then I guess that makes them more elite then everyone else... So yeah, obviously I must be stupid because I'm to ‘pround’ to except the fact that there is no 'best.'

Why does everyone keep talking about this adam dude? Who the hell is he? I havent seen him on here so I dont even know waht you are talking about or why your associateing me with him

YES THERE IS A BEST GROUP for the individual-- One individual may "believe" that their unit is the best of the best just like someone in a religion may think that "my belief system is best for me" yes there is a best for the indiviudal but not a "best for everyone" In fact this topic asked "WHATS YOUR FAVOURITE" and everyones free to voice their opinions; The question however dindt ask "WHATS TEH BEST UNIT ON EARTH?"

As for the navy seal training thing....No you dont need experience to get into SEALs. SEAL recruiting is similar to Army SF where you would just tryout and if you fail you go back to your mediocore military job--- In this case its any other Navy job--- WHICH SUCKS. In the Army, if you fail, you would probably get into some COMBAT INFANTRY unit-- Since the Marines is under the "Department of the Navy" why not send SEAL failures to Marine Infantry Units?

***EDIT: I mean hell thats another advantage of joining the Army instead of Navy you would get a COMBAT related job and not some dead-end Navy job you must really desire the SEALs to be able to handle that-- If I failed 75th's RIP, I'd ask to be assigned to the 101st or something-- Which is perfectly fine for me-- Plus I can always retry the RIP--i think :(

I can say from experience one advantage of the ODA is that they have the ability to infil, collect the intel, use the intel to create a plan and then execute the plan with little outside assistance all while fwd deployed down range and utilizing only the assets at their disposal or organic to their team - that plan can be anything from DA to UW to FID to SASO to anything else you can ask them to do.

That is there point/ there purpose.

Excuse me, Supreme Commander Digitalghost sir. Could you please teach us more. I would really like the training block concerning the 2 levels of Direct Action.

And I would like to be the one to make sure that the orders you are cut(upon immediate release from the 75TH RGR RGT, LOM drop I'm sure)are fitting of a person w/ your skills. the 2ND INF DIV needs you.
But what ever you do don't stop posting because I have not laughed this hard in a while.
WILCO?

Hmm what I dindt know is that DELTA selects from 82nd Airborne!!! Hmm I wonder if they select from 101st if they dont 82nd will be my primary choice looks like they like airborne guys more than air assault guys

:bash: Think about it! Who cares what do they do: airborne, air assault or cooking, if you are high speed, you have a chance. I had a drill seargent from a regular unit invited to try out for delta after my cycle...

Yeah Army uses ASVAB which is actually easier than the above Marine Test
Have you ever taken one???

Level 1: General DA-- Like what the Rangers do
