delta force world war 2 and more
Throughout the Second World War was the elite group of American military, never failing assignments or missions these men completed brutal training, extreme assignments and complex missions, and all with astonishing technology that wasn’t used until the 1960s, these men were the Navy SEALs of WWII and even today these men are among the best of American warriors. Training, secrecy, technology, discipline, brotherhood, leadership, courage and sacrifice are all deep parts of the DELTA force program. One of the most elite forces ever was created in October 1943; the exact date is unknown but is believed to be between the 13th and the 25th. It was only organized with eight men: the president himself, a Navy admiral, an airborne commander, two army generals, a navy drill sergeant to teach DELTA recruits about water tactics and more, an airborne instructor to teach men about parachuting and more, and a land training instructor to teach men advanced strategy and battle techniques. These men were the base leaders of DELTA force or STFE (soldiers trained for everything) throughout the war. DELTA force closed down in 1951 after its partial revilement to the public and Harry S. Truman’s discovery of the brutal mental and physical training that all DELTA soldiers had to go through at fort Bragg, North Carolina. During DELTA forces service all recruits must have went through basic training, ranger school and stayed in the rangers for four years. To pass ranger requirements’ you must score 50 or higher on the ASVAB AFQT test, have a general technical score of 110 or higher, be eligible for a secret level security clearance, be able to pass AFPT test, have a high school diploma, and you must be a United States citizen. If had met all the requirement’s then you would move on to Ranger school. Ranger school, a 3 month training period also known as RTA or Ranger training academy, RTA consisted of daily physical training, history tests, map reading, AFPT once a month, 5 mile runs, combat water survival assessment, 15 meter swim while wearing equipment, 6- 15 mile road marches, score 70% on all exams, Airborne school, regular standards, day and night navigation, difficult hand to hand combat, real life combat situations, ropes and knots, driver training, and advanced combat lifesaver training and fast rope training. If you pass Ranger school, you must passed DELTA requirement’s such as 90% European, be 22 years of age at least, must have been a ranger for four years, male, have two years left in military contract, high school diploma, passed airborne school, clean record, must be a sergeant, 20:15 vision, field experience, must pass extra secret security clearance, no disabling injuries, no mental issues, and you were a hard working man in the eyes of your company leader than he would report you to the DELTA force training academy or DFT. If you were reported then you would go to a remote area of Fort Bragg in North Carolina. If you are sent here then you are trying out for DELTA selection, DELTA selection is a 6 week program where all recruits run 20 miles a day with 70 pound Ruck sacks (bags consisting of sand and sometimes supplies used for training to promote strength to recruits) and men would have blank wars (training wars consisting of fake bullets and explosives) for the rest of the day, the average amount of sleep was 4 hours. If you pass selection and requirements then you have already made it very far. After requirements comes the hardest of all; DELTA training, during the time this was the hardest training known to man. Recruits were beaten, brainwashed and sometimes killed. Once you start DELTA force training there is no quitting. During this 6 month training period you must complete basic physical training, advanced weapon combat, extremely advanced hand to hand combat, under water combat and recue, outdoor survival, advanced stealth tactics, geology advantage, geology strategy, extremely advanced airborne classes, 15 -30 mile hikes with ruck sacks, advanced medical skills, explosives training, explosives assembling and dissembling, rules of engagement and war, scientific combat classes, weapon assembly and formation, mental classes, blunt weapons and blunt weapons defense, transportation training and assembly, vehicle handling, cultural education, foreign languages, foreign cultures, opposite forces, enemy armory and engineering, radio communication, Morse code, sign language and special communication assessment. If you pass DELTA force training then you are truly one of the best and you qualify for the DELTA force. Throughout WWII over 16,000 men applied for DELTA force but only 2800 ever made it all the way. Throughout WWII DELTA force completed over 1000 missions and 14 operations, DELTA force also ended the war with slightly less then 16,000 confirmed kills averaging 5.7 confirmed kills for every man in DELTA force, and through the entire war DELTA only suffered 37 of their own men. Little is known about DELTA force during WWII because of it being shut down. Once soldiers went home when the war was over somehow someone slipped DELTA force through their teeth and the public found out. President Truman knew about DELTA force but not that when President Roosevelt told the military instructors to do anything to make DELTA force the most elite military in the world that he actually meant it. During the war the average soldier carried an m1 Garand, a Thompson SMG, a Carbine, a BAR, or a Springfield and either a Colt.45, a M1911 or a .357 magnum as a secondary. The military funding for DELTA force was massive, 2.6% of all military money went to the DELTA force program, but what did DELTA force do with it all? DELTA force even today has a rule called “cant carry, cant come” basically saying a soldier can have any weapon available as long as he can carry it, but most DELTA men selected the M15 a mix between an M14 sniper rifle and a M16 modern rifle merging into an accurate semi-automatic sniper rifle. This was a weapon of choice because of its high accuracy, light weight, and reliability. The M15 was not given to Marines or Rangers because of its high price of more than twice the cost of a Thompson SMG, which would cost about $4000 today. The M1911 was a modern pistol used a lot by many DELTA soldiers because of its high power and durability, the M1911 also came with an extended clip allowing soldiers to have 14 rounds in the weapon instead of only 7, the M1911 was also popular because of its attachable silencer causing a shot fired from the weapon to sound like a bee flying by or a hiss from a snake, this caused the weapon to become extremely quiet. All these weapons, Frag grenades, smoke grenades and the soldiers’ knife made up his entire load out of weapons that a DELTA soldier took in to the field. DELTA men were trained to deploy in three different ways: sea, land, and air, Similar to the US navy SEAL’s. When DELTA deployed by boat there was to options, one was by boats similar to the one used by the Rangers on D-day, and second was by sub-marines. When men were deployed by subs they were locked in a room of the sub and then water would flow in and finally a sea door would open allowing the men to swim out of the sub and to their destination, 6 DELTA soldiers died doing this. When deployed by land soldiers would ride an armored car, tank or jeep. The most popular deploy option for all DELTA men was airborne, jumping from an airplane with a parachute. This is one of the skills that all DELTA force men must master and what is taught the most to them over all other deploy options. But DELTA force jumped a little different then regular airborne jumpers did, when DELTA jumped they jumped at night time only, 10,000 feet high, way higher than the regular airborne height limit and used oxygen masks to prevent suffocation in high elevation. The most dangerous thing though out of all differences, DELTA men pulled their own parachutes. This was extremely dangerous considering the elevation jumped from. Regular airborne men had their parachute pulled immediately when they jumped, but DELTA force made all men pull their own parachute but leaving the advantage that it is harder to be shot when the parachute is not pulled yet. 2 DELTA men died doing this dangerous form of airborne jumping, one fell asleep when he was falling and hit the ground without pulling his chute due to a faulty oxygen mask, and the other death was due to a poorly packed parachute. There was two parts of DELTA force, a group for forward action men and the ones who were under cover. The undercover DELTA men were very similar and not similar to the straight action soldiers. Undercover DELTA men were spies that reported information from the field to the DELTA officials. These men were spread throughout the United States military, in the Rangers, Air force, and the Airborne. When DELTA men went missing they were marked MIA (missing in action) DELTA men were not missing they were just gone to a covert mission or meeting with other DELTA men. Usually the men’s regular Army leader would be told that the soldier would go missing but not when, why, where or that they were DELTA force members. Surprisingly DELTA force wasn’t known to the public until 1950. President Harry S. Truman visited Fort Bragg at the DELTA force training center and believed that that the mental and physical training that the men were put through wasn’t human like. So the DELTA force was closed down and the public remained silent until 1977 when DELTA force was reopened as a counter terrorist group with the name SFOD (special forces operational detachment) instead of STFE.(soldiers trained for everything) This was opened to prevent major drug trafficking, foreign and domestic terrorist problems and anything ordered by the government. During the starvation conflict in Somalia, DELTA force sent 50 of their men to help the United States Rangers fight off Somalian drug lords. Even today DELTA force is one of the most elite American warrior programs ever, today the Navy SEAL’s stand on top but DELTA force trails close behind with the second most elite military program in the world and known to man. Even today America doesn’t let any information about DELTA force be leave the country.
