The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), popularly

known as Delta Force, is a U.S. Army component of Joint Special Operations


Command. It was formerly listed as the Combat Applications Group (CAG) by the
Department of Defense.[3] While 1st SFOD-D is administratively supported by
USASOC, it falls under the operational control of the Joint Special Operations
Command. Delta Force and its Navy counterpart, the Naval Special Warfare
Development Group, are the United States military's primary counter-terrorism
units. It is often referred to in the U.S. media as a Special Mission Unit.[4][5][6][7]

Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism, direct action, and national
intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of
conducting many types of clandestine missions, including, but not limited to,
hostage rescues and raids.[8]

The Central Intelligence Agency's highly secretive Special Activities Division (SAD)
and more specifically its elite Special Operations Group (SOG) often works with
and recruits operators from Delta Force.[9]
