The U.S. Army’s 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, popularly known as Delta Force, is the first of the two counter-terrorism, special mission units that fall under the Joint Special Operations Command
Note that Delta Force has Special Forces in its name.
Delta Force was originally all Special Forces troopers.
Here is an explanation for why Delta is called Special Forces, all of the original Deltas were Special Forces, Beckwith labeled them Special Forces as a way to hide the unit’s existence by titling it Delta Detachment to fit in with the already existing Special Forces, Alpha Detachment, Bravo Detachment, and Charlie Detachments, hence “Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta.”.
Below are some excerpts:
“Why Delta Force is a Separate Entity from the Army Special Forces”
One of the most perplexing questions surrounding the highly secretive U.S. Army unit known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, or Delta Force, is why it bears the name “Special Forces” despite not being part of the Army Special Forces. Despite its shrouded origins and elusive nature, Delta Force has gained a level of public recognition, often referred to as simply “The Unit,” “The Dreaded D,” or simply “Delta Force.” While its existence has never been officially confirmed.

However, there is often confusion about why the unit is called Delta rather than Alpha or Bravo and why it is referred to as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta if it is not part of the Army Special Forces.
The reason for this is simple. At the time of its creation, the U.S. Army Special Forces had Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie detachments. To maintain operational security, Colonel Charles Beckwith, the first Delta commanding officer, decided to name the new unit the “1st Special Forces Operational Detachment – Delta.”
Since then, the unit has had several other names, including Combat Applications Group (CAG), Delta Force, “The Unit,” and most recently, “Army Compartmented Elements” (ACE). It should be noted that the unit is not part of the 1st Special Forces Command, the higher headquarters responsible for Army Special Forces Groups, Civil Affairs, etc.
I think another Trump Administration would handle the situation in Europe better, if his people would keep the maggots out this time. Sorry I doubted your loyalty.
We tend to generalize sometimes after receiving enough personal insults and false accusations from others who do support Russia against the U.S. Quite a few individuals here have stated their wishes against our country and in favor of Russian expansionism. Some have described the Kremlin as some kind of religious savior against social corruption in our society.
Russia won’t save us. We need to do it ourselves with an honest campaign that doesn’t insult the intelligence of our readers.
