Is there anything higher than Delta Force?
Army Green Berets are among the most elite groups in the world, and provide a pipeline to higher units, like the Army’s “Delta” CAG, and the CIA SAD. They have about as much street-cred as numbered SEALs and Force Recon, depending on who’s doing the talking.
Though Delta Force generally chooses its candidates from within the Army—most Delta operators come from the 75th Ranger Regiment or the Special Forces—the group also selects individuals from other branches of the military, including the Coast Guard, National Guard and even Navy SEALs.
What is the difference between Delta Force and SEAL Team 6?
SEAL Team 6, officially known as United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), and Delta Force, officially known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), are the most highly trained elite forces in the U.S. military.
What is the difference between the Navy SEALs and the DEVGRU?
Both units have the most sophisticated equipment and are highly trained in Close Quarters Combat (CQB), hostage rescue, high value target extraction, and other specialized operations.
