BTW I figure you should know this, exactly what is the deal with US Army special forces, since the Rangers appear to be more like our Commandos (Specialist Assault troops rather than LRRP and CT operators etc.) based on what people are saying here, so is Delta Force the US Army's branch of SOCOM or is it something else?
Rangers are basically the finest light infantry in US mlitary and among the finest in the world. Whereas Commandos are more aphibou oriented as I understand it, Rangers are airborne/air assault shock troopers.

Delta Force is an extremely elite, top secret counter terorist unit.
