I vote Delta Force...Seals and Rangers are tough but I think Delta is considered the "elite".

I keep telling my buddy that I think Delta Force is the best of the best. He insists S.E.A.L's are. I think SEALS are a very close second but still think Deltas are more elite.

You can bet if frankgomez75 says it thats the facts. frankgomez75 knows of what he speaks.


 
Um... what about the USMC Force Recon? They're some hardcore mother fvckers.

"What training and schools can I expect to attend?

Initial training consists of Marine Recruit Training, & the School of Infantry, training as a rifleman. Students are then assigned to the Basic Recon Course. Upon successful completion of the BRC, Marines report to their assigned recon unit & receive various professional, technical and tactical training. Among these are: Airborne (basic and Military Freefall) Jumpmaster, Pathfinder, Ranger, Scout-Sniper, Combat Diver (SCUBA) Diving Supervisor, Mountain warfare & assault climber, Jungle operations, specialized training in urban tactics, Close Quarters Battle & shooting skills, demolitions, communications, photography, controlling aircraft landing operations and directing Airstrikes, Naval Gunfire and Artillery.."

Delta Force used to be very secret tha the Army used to refuse to acknowledge its existence. Yes they knew it existed, but since Delta basically rivaled the Rangers, Army was pissed and didn't want to officially acknowledge that there was another special forces team that could do basically the same things....

what do you m ean IF CAUGHT? If you're caught as CIA or NSA or for any agency when working overseas, the govt will disavow all knowledge of you and you're basically cut off.

that was clay othic...a ranger not a delta force member
 
I think SEAL's are toughest. They put them through Hell in BUD's before they even start training. Delta is probably equal to them in training but I don't think as a whole they are as though.

wow thats wrong

no...go learn about delta's admission course...then go read about the training delta has...then come back and make an educated responce
 
The Rangers would win by force of numbers -- there's an entire regiment.

Of course, the entire question is pointless, much like "which country has the best special forces?" which always circulates from time to time. In small units like SAS, Delta, and SEALs, the determination comes down to the individual soldiers, not the overall unit, or maybe the individual platoon or team and not the overall force.

They are all damn good at what they do. I'm hoping I get a chance to work with some of them next year.

Is that all? 😉

I thought this thread was about who would win in a free-for-all between a SEAL, Delta Force, and a Ranger team?

By jove I think your right.... remember the US gov did come to the SAS when they wanted a crack unit. The SAS went over and created/trained Delta.
 
you also got to remember.. these units all have DIFFERENT MISSIONS they are trained to fill..

they are not the same and never pretended to be.. so you cannot compare them..
they all have different tactics and missions they are tasked with.

rangers are not technically SOG anymore.. they are just paratroopers and that doesnt make them SOG.

the 3 US SOG groups are Marine Force Recon, US Navy Seals (Top group is Seal Team 6,) US Army Green Berets (with thier top echelon being Delta)


http://www.globalspecialoperations.com/sf.html#Detachment-D

not putting down anyone that may have served as a ranger but they are not in the same league as the true SOG groups.

 
mogadishu is a good indicator i think. from the accounts it seems like delta held up the best, followed closely by the few seals there, and then the rangers were far behind

LMAO delta in urban....thats not even a debate

seals in a maritime operations yes

but do not even try to say seal team 6 (while very similar) tops delta in cqb

 
but what really dissapoints me here is not who is more elite but the lack of information here and a lot of idiots here who say stuff and are completely wrong......


I know a lot about SF and there is a lot of misinformation here
BTW to the moron that staated the rangers are not SF anymore...yeah wow...just go logoff now
