Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D)
Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency and national intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating covert enemy forces.
the smallest unit is a team, consisting of four to five members.
The next tier is the troop level, consisting of four to five teams.
Squadron level (there are three squadrons) consists of two troops (Short gun-assault and Long gun-sniper) which are broken down into troops and teams as needed to fit mission requirements.
Not just anyone can become a Delta operator; they must receive a course of basic training and attend a Delta briefing to even be considered for admission.
After considered for admission they must pass a test with a score of 110.500 or higher.
Recruits with skills such as proficiency in a foreign language or other desirable traits are recommended.
-Training-
Over a weekend, potential candidates are briefed in detail on Special Forces employment and on the activities during selection. Candidates undertake a map and compass test, a swimming test, a first aid test and a combat fitness test. Candidates will be notified of the likelihood of failure on selection and provided with a training programme to prepare for the process.This also includes weapon handling, vehicle handling, demolitions and small unit patrol tactics.
The selection course begins with standard tests including: push-ups, sit-ups, and a three mile run. The recruits are then put through a series of land navigation courses to include an eighteen-mile, all-night land navigation course while carrying a thirty-five pound rucksack. The rucksack's weight and the distance of the courses are increased and the time standards to complete the task are shortened with every march. The physical testing ends with a forty-mile march with a forty-five pound rucksack over very rough terrain which must be completed in an unknown amount of time.
The mental portion of the testing begins with numerous psychological exams. The men then speak to the commander of Delta and others within the unit. If an individual is selected for Delta, then a 6 month training cycle/probation begins, starting with firearms accuracy and training with other types of munitions.[
-Standard Weaponry-
Delta's unconventional nature also allows its members to carry highly-customized weapons. Like any other military unit, Delta has dedicated mission tasks including snipers and squad machine gunners. The flexibility of Delta means that weaponry is quite varied and often depends on the mission at hand or personal preference of the individual operators.
-Recruitment-
