I was blessed by Charlie a Delta retired operator working as a SWAT sniper. He watched me shooting on their range and spent time improving my pistol shooting.
I had the pleasure of working with a Delta Force unit when I was stationed at HQ SFOR at Camp Butmir, Sarajevo. Highly professional unit and their commander was an expert on urban warfare and the siege of Sarajevo was his dissertation for Army War College.
They make bad people go away. These are some of the scariest people the us has. Anytime we worked with any of these units, it was hard not to fanboy at times. The dudes from the Unit are some of the most notable. They're all older, with significant combat time before even showing up for selection. Most of those dudes youd never guess who they were if they didnt tell you or you knew otherwise.
When I was on Bagram we befriended some guys from the UAE army and got invited to hang out at their compound where we got some world class food prepared by chefs who flew fresh food in every day from the UAE, and spent alot of our time playing cards and smoking in their hookah lounge. Some of the other American guys who we played cards with were in civvies most of the time and we had no idea who they were. One day the SGM came buy in his uniform and we saw his saw his patch and realized "holy shit, these guys are Delta". Just regular dudes hanging out and having a good time with us lowly Army Reserve pukes.
The operators shoot 1000 rounds a day for the most part. Check their trigger finger if you think you've found one of these ghosts. They've got some serious calluses.
15:15; Chapmen was abandoned by the SEALs, those of us monitoring the Predator feed told the Senior Chief they were leaving a live man behind. After they abandoned him, the SEAL community pulled a JFK and awarded the seal a MoH and then spent over a decade trying to bury Chapman’s award upgrade! I respect most SEALs, just not the ones that left a fellow American behind just because he wasn’t a team member.
There are many in the US military who are considered badasses. When I was ship’s company on the USS Theodore Roosevelt we had a team of EOD (explosive ordnance disposal) who would do shit like swim out to mines and eliminate them in pitch black water and night. Check our own hull for tracking devices and other things we didn’t want attached to the hull. Total badassery
One of the things you forgot to mention is the writing portion of l navy seal selection. They want to make sure you’re going to write a best seller when you’re out and not some garbage. Edit: Oh wow! Is this the part where I thank all 188 of you kind strangers who I’ll never meet who liked my comment then call my mom and tell her I made it? Where do I collect my social credits? Do I have to get new friends now?
Done a video on SERE? Was maybe the best school I've gone through. We were activated during "Operation Unified Response" - the humanitarian mission in Haiti. We had to evacuate 100s - 1000s of patients by ourselves. With NO support from other SOF Operators. Was the most horrific and scary mission I'd seen. Love the guys in this video. Best troops to watch your 6. Wish they were there.
Personally I think its embarrassing how much NAVY SEALS talk. They won't shut up about their training, what they did, how bad ass they are, etc. Books, videos, speeches, you name it, Navy Seals will do it. I want to know why forces like delta don't tend to talk much about what they do while SEALS tend to be everywhere telling everyone EVERYTHING they did.
Maybe you have selective outrage. Plenty of Delta, Green Berets and Rangers books in AMAZON and many former DELTA on social media talking. Sounds like jealousy.
Jealousy? Naw……. I was in the navy in the early 90’s. I tried out and didn’t even make it into training because of sight issues. I served my time in the fleet which is fine with me. My BIL who was army served with all these guys after the military for a certain company that did a lot of dirty work the military didn’t like to touch. Anyway, it was a running joke how much SEALS wouldn’t shut up about their exploits. Sure many of the other groups would talk but no one more than the Navy Seals. They are definitely bad ass but they also talk a lot.
@@lilbrother45 I'm Navy and 99.9% Seals that I met doesn't write books or have a podcast or talk a lot about their missions. Like the rest of the Navy. Only less than 1% might write books or have podcasts but that's for other communities and branches also. I personally don't have a problem on the 1% as long that the stories are legit and interesting.
The only reason they been talking so much lately is because they been trying to make it believable that they really shot him laden and dumped the most sought after target in history in the ocean instead of escort him back home and extract everything he's ever been apart of before letting him become a highly paid U S citizen because we have a senior citizen president instead of a successful business man lol😐
What’s crazy is all of the forces that have trained on Air infiltration, their Jump schools were designed/built using the 101st Airborne’s Air Assault schools. There’s 2 Air Assault schools. Basic and Advanced. In order to get into the advanced schools you have to be invited. My Grandpa was invited during his time in the 101st Airborne back in Korea.
Can you guys do a video on Army Counterintelligence? They have some really cool opportunities like the Great Skills program and some of the little known intelligence SMU’s. They have the opportunity to be in the ISA along with 35M’s and other intel personnel. I’d love to hear what you guys think of Army CI and I think a lot of people would be interested in the career field.
This is a comment that I got from a friend of mine who was u.s. military for a while. He said A buddy of his went through the ranger training came out the other side and then had fun with Canadian tier 1 ops. The JTF2. Apparently throughout the mission. His squad was consistently blown away with the skills and capabilities of the Canadian jtf2 group they were with. He said if it wasn't the Gurkhas that he was going to work alongside..... he wanted to work alongside JTF2. I would be remiss to not add in the fact that JTF2. Can Have 1,000 Applicants... And a pass rate of 2-5 some years.... And it is definitely interesting to learn a little bit more about T1 OPS stateside
Before Canada went wrong, they had a reputation for having pound for pound the best military in the world. Budget cuts have gutted their capabilities, but I'm not surprised to find their top operators are still extremely high quality.
There is a story, no idea if true, of the Rangers and JTF2 in Afghanistan. Some high value target of opportunity (would have been Taliban or Al-Qaeda back then) popped up. Time sensitive and high risk of collateral damage to civilians. Rangers were scrambled to assault the building/compound. They get there and civilians are going about their business but the target location is silent. Kick down the doors and indeed the place was full of bad guys, but they were all very recently deceased. Every single one of them. Turns out that in the time between the Rangers being scrambled and getting there, JTF2 had swept through undetected.
Chapman was my Son's partner. PJS fly as partners on a rescue mission. John was not even scheduled for the Seal mission, was sitting on ammo cases and the Seals walked by on the way to the 53 and asked if he wanted to fly out and back with them. His loss hit my son hard, only guy he lost in 23 years as a PJ and a CRO.
@mitchconner2021 Delta’s training is molded off the British SAS’s training so it’s definitely one of the most hardest in the world. I remember watching the Shawn Ryan show with former Delta Operator Kyle Morgan who was in Delta for like 11 years and had just gotten out in like 2022. He said his Operator number was #965 I believe so it’s crazy to think that Delta started in 1977 and his number was so low. Just shows how hard and how they are very strict on their selection.
Camp McCall's combat/obstacle course in mid 1980s had a 60foot tall climbing obstacle. Made of telephone poles that were NOT evenly spaced apart between each horizontal pole. We jumped up to grab around the next horizontal pole with a bear hug. The evenly spaced square horizontal boards on that same obstacle today removes the fear of losing my bear hug grip while jumping between slippery poles 50feet up. Then shimmying over the top telephone pole to descend.😮. Jumping to grab the pole above me left me airborne with nothing under my feet while ascending.
I want to take a moment to recognize how bad ass that 24th stay soldier was for staying behind to save his battle buddies. That out the way, which unit do you think has the most extensive training or is most bad ass?
It's. Not just to destroy a door it's to take down a door to move forward. Not necessarily to just have fun and break a door certain doors just can't be kicked in because they are reinforced made out of wood but still very difficult to get through not all battering rams. Can be used to execute entry. So seal teams ranger teams and even supporting operation units will use landscaping tools like everyday chainsaws, But not ur weed wackers The seals will leave those at home. Of course to get through And push through any obstacle that gets in their way, including wooden doors that are primarily reinforced to the point of impossible physical entry so professor. Moving forward, a chainsaw is absolutely lootly. Well needed and A critical aspects of search, And seizure completion of mission, as well as breaking on through to the other side. Gabish, I'm glad you understand That sometimes everyday tools that you may find in your Backyard shed Being used in A SMO Personally known in a squad As AKA (strategic machine operator) known as the tool man, Or in my unit, we called him the dentist. Because she or he could pull it out, could knock it down and put it back up like it Never had a cavity. have a wonderful day. 😊
There was at least a partial filming of a Medal of Honor action on Tarawa in WWII. I think it was of Lt. Bonnyman but my memory isn’t what it used to be.
In my country the so called Special Forces,are the Army Commandos,Navy Marines,and the air force Paratroopers. But in each branch besides the ones i mention,there are the Special Operations Rangers Battalion and the Navy Special Actions Detachtment ( Company). To join one of this units you must "Own" the Badge and Beret of one of the 3 Special Forces units that i mention,like the Commandos or Marines. From my personal knowledge and experience while in the Military the navy DAE ( Special Actions Detachtment) are the most Well Prepared Soldiers( Physically,Mentally, with the knowledge of weaponology, Environments of any kind,etc) in my country Armed Forces. Their number is "secret", but many say that they are 2 platoons with 4 squads each. They are the ones to not mess with. In reality all of those guys on the Special Forces can be the Boogie Man.
I was trained as 0321 in the Marines, we got to go to a number of schools including a swimming vacation at Coronado and some fun at Ft Bragg lol. You don’t hear about us on the video because we couldn’t be located for dog and pony filming
There would be no point in that. If such a unit exists, it would have to be able to do something that all the tier 1 and tier 2 units can't do, otherwise it would just be redundant.
As a plain jane 0311, I got to do all the same stuff in Iraq as these guys. I thought It was cool until one night, the self-appointed sheriff stopped us at the gate. Now this raid was set up like we were capturing bin laden himself. He stops the PL and, in arabic, yells something out to the people inside then walks in like he owns the place. 2 or 3 minutes later he's dragging the guy out by his collar. It was then that I realized all the hype was nothing more than hype. I've been around all these guys. And yeah, it looks cool as heck to see the guys on boats and the guys walking around like Sam Fisher with laptops on their waste. But the real killer is was the sherrif who busted in the place with pistol holstered and took the guy with no fireworks.
There are 7 squadrons, not 6. Theres also green squadron aka green team. They also go on operations. The candidates are inserted into operational squadrons for some missions as part of their training
Having spent countless hours serving in every single one of these Tier 1 units as a YT Commando (Watcher) it is my considered opinion that I don't know what the hell I'm talking about 😂
I prefer the days of when we didn’t know much about these units and could only speculate. The mystery and unknown was so fascinating. Now you have every bearded operator coming out and trying to make a buck and gain recognition from their “quiet professional” career.
They’re not quiet lol, they just don’t serve a unique role. Nothing in SOCOM was missing before MARSOC. You’ll also notice they aren’t in JSOC. There is a reason for that.
I was in the 2/75th in 1980-81 before they went regimental..Got to do a lot of fun things..Spent a few months training in hostage rescue where my job was setting up OP's on roads with entrance,and exits to the proximity of our mission objective..Rode a Kawasaki KT 250 all day long for months...Good times
My bosses were Delta and Green Berets. Scary people, but they were grounded with a deep sense of morality and ethics. They reminded me of modern knights templar, though in their private lives they weren't sanctimonious. Very goddamn funny actually. Thank God we have them on our side.
I was in delta force, I’m not able to divulge any info on our jobs and hits, but it was epic, bible story epic. I’m a ghost these days, new identity and new family.
REALITY: USN EOD augments everyone of the cited communities. I’m speaking as the former S&T Advisor to the Joint EOD and by extension Special Operations and SOF communities.
I'm concerned with excessive reliance on special forces units and neglect of line combat battalions and their fast transportation. Sometimes, you need numbers and power that the special units just don't have. Evidently, in the last Gaza war were 2,000 terrorists crossed the border with Israel, sending similar top special units with helicopters to multiple locations, but there is so much a teams of 12 can do against 100+ heavily armed terrorists. They fought with quality and got a high kill ratio, but still, the army needed numbers, and it took too long to ramp them up.
Great video covering the known groups but doesn't the real work get done by SMU's comprised of operators from different units under the direction of their various TSOC's? The work we never hear about and units with names we will never know.
Is the voice disguise a gimmick? Or do you really think you’re giving away national security secrets and can’t be found by the intelligence community because you disguised your voice?😂
15:29 They actually made video game about the 7 men lost there life on tuker garh the rangers sent it that got shot down the seal team gets separated awesome game the second one was warfighter another bad ass game
I would like to see a comparison of the top civilian law enforcement ELITE units e.g., FBI (HRT). DEA (SRT), DPSS, CIA (SOG), DHS, ATF, etc. these units are the "boogeyman" for American civilians.
The info about Delta Force isn't, respectfully, entirely accurate. Yes, most of those guys are veterans, but in fact, that is not at all a criteria of selection. They have said this before, "We don't want the best guys, we want the right guys". People as young as 23 have joined Delta Force. People who scored the highest on physical tests but did poorly or average on psychological and IQ tests did not had a chance in a million of passing. The problem with this system is, there was a point where most of those guys were young and hadn't been in more than a single deployment, perhaps none at all. This culminated in Somalia during the Blackhawk down incident, where 6 Delta operators where KIA (killed in action). They did not bring anything for an overnight mission, but had to stay 18 hours with barely no water, only a basic ammo load of 210 rounds, and no night vision. So the weakness of Delta is that they really don't care at all who you are and where you come from as long as you get check all the boxes regardless of experience, and they all have the rights. This can lead to major issues like this where more experience people from infantry units for example aren't able to advise them, plus the intimidating factor. The 10th evacuated everyone. Also, the 10th Mountain division which is never talked about, is the only mountain-terrain specialized unit in the US Army, and was involved in almost every major operation with Tier 1 units and CIA paramilitary from WWII to Iraq.
Also, Delate Force selection actually isolate soldiers and disorient them on purpose, no one really knows what they do, this have been confirmed by several of their vets (it might have changed tho).They also do actual movements even in terms of peace, and 40 miles isn't over the top imagination even outside training.They did a 40 miles covert movement in Germany FOR REAL during peace time.
My uncle was part of SEAL Team 1. The dude was so busy and secretive, I never got to meet him. However back when I was a kid, he would send my dad and I gifts in the mail (one of the coolest things I ever got was a shirt from Fallon Naval Air Station.) He passed away several years ago due to sickness, but I inherited his wooden paddle and his Seiko dive watch. Dude was a badass.
Fallon is a pretty significant bombing range. Red dots go on things... those things go boom. There's literally nothing there but that base, farmland and planes
The Full Chapman footage is so hard to watch. Just knowing, a real soldier was down there, bleeding out, scared to death, knowing he wasn't going to make it off that mountain, but he made sure he took as many terrorist bastids with him as he could. RIP Chapman. Gone but not forgotten
He was a USAF-CCT but I understand your point… Nvm I understand why he added that into the video. Didn’t realize Chapman was part of STS. Just thought he was a CCT attached to a SEAL team. My bad for the misunderstanding. 👍
@@scottrackley4457they left him there. They tried to hold it up because they didn’t want him getting the medal he deserved and earned because they knew it’d bring the story to light.
The crazy thing about Tier 1 and 2 units in the US is that because of the population of the US, we have a LARGE special operations contingent in our military compared to our allies. SEALs alone number close to 4500-5000 Operators and support personnel alone
0:00 Intro 0:55 CAG 2:15 Ad 4:21 Back to the video 8:34 DEVGRU 13:00 24th STS 16:14 Regimental Recon Company 19:24 ISA 21:55 Honorable Mention: 160th SOAR (Night Stalkers)
As a former Intel guy with one of the mentioned units, I can say the 160th SOAR guys are the freaking shit!!! They make stepping off a skid onto a rooftop the easiest part of any mission. Straight up magic what they do with RW assets!
Not in my experience(none), but I know a former tier 1 guy, and always asked him the generic questions about the other units. By far the people he was most in awe/fanboy/appreciative of were SOAR, and how incredible they were with maneuvering to put a skid next to a window God knows how many stories up with speed and precision to step off rapidly.
During the Battle of Mogadishu (aka Black Hawk Down) SEAL Team 6's Gold Squadron had an unarmored Humvee with no doors or roof as part of the Task Force Ranger convoy. The 24th STS sent a team of PJs and CCTs as well. Two of the PJs, MSgt. Scott Fales and TSgt. Tim Wilkinson, were aboard Super 68, the CSAR bird with CCT Pat Rogers. CCT Jeff Bray was attached to the Delta assault force, and CCT Dan Schilling was with the ground convoy. I can't remember the fourth CCT's name but he was attached to one of the Ranger chalks. During the battle, Wilkinson repeatedly exposed himself to enemy gunfire around the first crash site to retrieve medical supplies and earned an Air Force Cross for bravery. His treatment of Ranger John Stebbins was wrapped into the scene of Sanderson treating Grimes in the movie Black Hawk Down.
Howard Wasdin was one of the two DEVGRU guys. He got shot up bad. Wrote a book on the whole ordeal. Definitely worth reading. BTW he was killed (and his dog) last month on the way to work, when he stalled his airplane on final approach into a small airport in GA. He was a chiropractor.
@@OMG_No_Way actually there 5 DEVGRU operators in country. Four guys for the Humvee and their team leader. It was sad to hear about Wasdin's passing. That was like hearing about Super 6-2's pilot, Mike Goffena, dying in a private plane crash in 1998 while learning to fly. It's so weird hearing about badasses like Howie and Mike losing their lives in such bizarre circumstances after all they had been through.
"Mogadishu" ......You Americans only know how to fight poor people who dont shoot back, then you try to make yourselves look like warriors.. you couldnt even beat goat farmers in Afghanistan
