It is the U.S Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, it has another unit known as the Naval Special Warfare deleopment Group. These are primarily for counter-terror actions outside the United States. Formed in 1970 and is influenced by the British SAS.
Members of the unit were part of Task Force Ranger that took part in the ill fated operation in Somalia (the 'Black Hawk Down' operation). The tenacious last man stand at the 2nd crashed helicopeter by Sgt.Randy Shughart and Master Sgt.Garry Gordon bears witness to their professionalism and martial sprit.
