      The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), commonly referred to as Delta Force, is an elite special mission unit of the United States Army, under the organization of USASOC, but controlled by JSOC.

         It is used for hostage rescue and counterterrorism, as well as direct action and reconnaissance against high-value targets. 1st SFOD-D and its U.S. Navy and U.S. Air Force counterparts, DEVGRU, "SEAL Team 6", and the 24th Special Tactics Squadron, perform the most highly complex and dangerous missions in the U.S. military. These units are also often referred to as "Tier One" and "special mission units" by the U.S. government.
