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.

Got tHAT right off the NAVY SEAL site
Best SF-forces in the world are the SALVATION ARMY, period!!!
And they have the best motto aswell.
Ghost, it was a joke...you need a sense of humor. Until a few years ago, Delta was a black program, and its existence was not officially recognized.
Green berets are awesome they are fuzzy....and green....and you can wear them on your head to keep it warm. You can care for your green beret by shaving it and shaping it.... it's definitely the best.

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."
"delta force does not excist, yet odly enough they do recrute." quote from the book delta force.

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.
