In October of 1977, the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D) was secretly formed to deal with the growing threat of world terrorism. At Fort Bragg, elite Delta Force operatives, recruited mainly from the 82nd Airborne, Special Forces Green Berets and U.S. Army Rangers, rigorously train in hostage rescues, specialized reconnaissance and other counter terrorism techniques. Highly skilled in CQB (Close Quarters Battle), armed with the best equipment, and able to infiltrate as civilians, Delta Force is ready to deal with the most dangerous world threats. 

Due to the extremely sensitive nature of these low-visibility missions, the U.S. Department of Defense still does not officially acknowledge the existence of Delta Force.
