Delta Force While the military acknowledges the existence of Special Mission Units, or SMUs, such as Delta Force, it does not specify what they are called or their specific locations, staffing or organizational structure. Unofficially, Delta Force is considered one of the U.S. military's elite special operations forces units, its members drawn from all military branches. Delta Force is thought to have been formed after a spate of terrorist attacks in the 1970s. As with the Navy Seals, several allied special operations forces -- including possibly those of Great Britain, France, Germany and Israel -- have significantly influenced Delta Force. The composition, strength and abilities of Delta Force remain a closely guarded secret, as are all of its missions to date. But the unit is thought to be equipped with the nation's most advanced weaponry and equipment. Unit members undertake an extensive selection and assessment process, and conduct the core of their counter-terrorism training on U.S. military bases.
