The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Airborne) (1st SFOD-D (A)), commonly known as Delta or Delta Force, (known in the Pentagon officially as the Combat Applications Group) is a Special Operations Force (SOF) of the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). The force's main task is counter-terrorism, although it is extremely versatile. Delta Force is believed to conduct missions similar to those regularly attributed to the British Special Air Service (SAS), after which Delta Force was modeled, the Israeli Sayeret Matkal, the U.S. Navy's DEVGRU, Germany's GSG-9 and KSK, France's GIGN, the Polish GROM, and other elite counter-terrorism forces worldwide.
