I remember reading the book, "Delta Force: A Memoir by the Founder of the U.S. Military's Most Secretive Special-Operations Unit" by Charlie Beckwith. It took him almost 20 years to get the US Army to officially accept the concept of the Delta Force. He had to lobby the army brass and even piss off some of his superiors, just so that they would agree to properly fund the unit. Furthermore, one of their very first official missions failed so spectacularly that the failure almost got the unit shut down. This is reminiscent of the challenges that David Sterling had to overcome in establishing the SAS. I would like to think that it's those challenges that helped to forge the cultures of both units and made them into arguably the best SF units in the world.

The Australian and New Zealand SAS are pretty good too. The "ANZAC" SAS tend to have a broader recruitment base than the British SAS. You can apply from any corps or branch, but you have to have been in the system for two years, although some have got in earlier. Just applying for selection is hard, and only 5 to 10% are regarded good enough for the month long selection course. And it is not really a course, it is an ordeal. It is not like a classroom thing. And only a few pass selection, and even then, there might not be a spot available, and they get offered commandos or something as an alternative, or just get RTU'ed. And then it is at least 12 months of full-on training before getting a spot on a "Sabre" squadron". Graduates don't rest on their laurels, and it is still expected that they give 100% and grow into the roles they cycle through. The main specialties are AIR, WATER and MOBILITY, but all will cycle through CT, CQB, and much more. Officer selection can change over time. Once all candidates did the same selection course, but now officers have to pass the selection course, plus a supplementary testing phase for officers. NCO's generally lose their previous ranks, and get re-tested to the much higher standard than they qualified in a line battalion. One downside of special forces is that they can dilute the talent pool of regular line units. There is always competition for the best among the services, and this can be serious during a major war, like in WW2, where air force and navy tended to drain leadership from the land forces, so perhaps the air-force in particular was a bit larger then necessary. Britain and the US put a lot of effort into paratroops, commandos, and UDT's, and while these were both effective and necessary, other branches like infantry, artillery and armor tended to suffer. Apart from D-day, paratroopers proved fragile in combat, because they lacked regular/reliable re-supply and were very light on heavy weapons.

I’ve worked with both and had already pre-determined that the SAS were better due to very good lads who I served with in Para Regt going off to Hereford. Admittedly that makes me slightly biased, however if I’m totally honest both mobs were very switched on and impressive. SAS will always be better in my opinion purely because Charlie B liked what he saw and rather than try and to better it, he bought into it and effectively franchised it. Over the proceeding decades both mobs have made improvements in tandem with each other.

I’m biased as I’m English but the SAS and SBS are the best and one reason you cannot compare them against another special forces is (and I’m going to take flack for this) the difference between British and Americans (and other countries) is that an individual is a product of the environment they grew up in. As you hear Americans say we are cold and reserved and typically polite where as Americans are more outspoken brash emotional and forthcoming all of which sound like good traits we are told these days but not when you have a job to do. I believe in selection it’s not the massive body builder types who actually pass but those who are physically fit, can be the grey man in a group or equally take charge but mental toughness is the biggest attribute. I listened to Billy Billinghams podcast and he said once he was in the SAS he met his team and thought he was in the wrong room then in walks an old fat guy looking like a homeless guy who was his boss! This guy said let’s go for a run and billy kept up for 30 seconds then this guy was off! Amazing

I'm a Brit and no military expert but if you look at it from a commanders point of view, the choice of which force to use depends on the mission objective. If you need a larger, well equipped force for a more offensive, shock and awe objective it would be Delta. If you have a smaller scale objective which requires more fineness, like the reconnaissance mission in Brave Two Zero, or a tricky hostage extraction, SAS would probably be more suitable. Delta Force probably carry out more and larger operations as part of a huge military task force. The SAS are more likely dropped of somewhere and it's up to them to make it back to the RV with little support or back up. The lack of money behind the SAS forces them to develop skills Delta simply don't need to acquire. Sometime limitations encourage innovation and the development of unique skills. Case in point, the 2013 Westgate shopping mall attack in Nairobi, Kenya, Christian Craighead was in the area and went in and saved a bunch of hostages and helped coordinate the local military. Very much on his own initiative, which is very much part of the SAS ethos. (In fact I think he asked for permission from SAS command but was told to stand down). I feel maybe a lone Delta Force solider might not have taken the initiative as he's more used to being well backed up and working as part of a large, well equipped task force. Just my two pence worth. Funny story, not sure if it's true or not- An army camp in the Iraq desert, Delta Force has a sign on their digs saying "second to none". SAS has a sign on theirs, "none" lol

I'm making no judgement but am relating how the SAS works. During the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland between the IRA and British Security forces, British Intelligence got wind of a high-level IRA meeting that was to take place in a farmhouse just across the border in Ireland. Three days prior to the meeting an IRA security detail arrived and continually swept the area for intruders until the end of the meeting. The meeting was held and at its end all participants scattered back into Northern Ireland and their commands. Shortly thereafter British Intelligence received a packet of high-resolution photos of all IRA participants, including their security detail. The SAS unit had arrived a week earlier, went to ground in a thicket and ate cold rations for a week while maintaining complete silence. The photos were invaluable in identifying the commanders, including some not known to be in the IRA, and their troops. That intelligence was put to use destroying cells and disrupting IRA operations.

It was a British army infantryman who was involved in the 90's in an exercise in which special forces from all the NATO countries had to evade a group of hunters for 48 hours. The only ones his unit caught were the US special forces as they lit a fire because "we were cold"

SAS: Counter Terrorism pioneer, Resilient Soldiers, Mentality (british humour) D-Force: CQB, marksmanship master and best logistical support Every SF have good things and bad things, UK and US are the best SF in Western Countries and work together. Curious history : during Falklands War a SAS troop send to mission and operators requested the extraction for extreme cold weather. Later US Delta Force equipped British SAS with the necessary winter equipment.

Delta Force would have the advantage based on the fact they've a similar size to the SAS but they've got a much deeper talent pool to recruit from. Most SAS are former Paras and Royal Marines Commandos sure, they're tough units to get into, but most RMC and Paras have little to nothing in the way of operational experience. Even most of those who did deploy during GWoT etc (and this was years ago now) were just used as infantry. Most Delta Force soldiers are former Rangers and Green Berets (and some come from the Navy SEALs, USMC Raiders, etc) s so not only are they well-trained, they've got several special operations deployments under their belt before Delta even considered them.

I read somewhere that the Anzac SAS were the only unit feared by the VC. That was quite telling. But, without a doubt the US can marshall support for their SF units, that no one else can match. In many combat situations this will be more significant than marginal differences in soldiering quality, if that even exists. By a chance of fate, my first office job was at the same company where a retired Lt. Col. PG Davis RM also worked. Commonly known as ‘Pug’, due to his gnarled expression, I presume. He used to wear a monocle, a bit like Captain Mainwaring from ‘Dad’s Army’, but there the similarity stopped. He was a legendary SBS commander, although I only really found out later, I used to marvel at his ramrod straight military bearing even in his fifties, at the time, and mentally scratch my head as to what it was about the guy, because there was definitely something different. The other guy who was definitely a bit different was Blair Mayne, again per chance, I happened to know the family of a wartime SAS man who drove his jeep for him. About as modest as they come, he described being selected for Special Forces, for being a ‘good shot’. This was definitely true, as he had been a bit of a poacher, pre-War. But, I am doubtful that that in itself was sufficient an attribute even then for selection. Anyway, among other stories, he recounted about Blair Maybe, who when apparently asked about what should be done if they were to be stopped at a checkpoint, replied simply ‘just bloody shoot them’, and the comment was and he bloody would have too! This same individual also met ‘Lawrence of Arabia’ during his childhood. This all shows the value of maintaining an oral history, the value of which has been recognised by Historians of late, and the relevance is clear as the last few of the Second World War generation die out, for example.

I once dropped a 6 man team of SBS into the North Sea 2 miles from the target, an oil rig. They swam to the target underwater using a rebreather set. The first guy climbed free up the leg of the rig before dropping a wire ladder for the rest to come up on. Their radio operator set up on the bridge wing of the ship I was on when they embarked and never left his set for 5 days.

A countries military units are designed around that countries specific needs, the needs of the U.S. are vastly greater and different than the needs of the U.K., and Delta was designed with the ability to grow to meet those needs. The argument as to who's better is an argument that's irrelevant when you look at the true context of the job. Could the SAS handle the needs of the U.S., that's doubtful.

Non of that matters. What matters is how they are out in battle. I pick and this is easy. And not even close. Delta Force. Im partial with being an American.. but also they are the best. Even SAS will tell you that delta force is better then they are. I just watched a podcast and this guy always has great guests on. Usually SOF guys and delta guys and SAS guys. He trys to get the best of the best on there and he asks great questions. Usually when Delta and SAS go out on a joint mission. Delta is leading the way. always.. and the SAS IS THERE BACKUP. Which they do not need but one hellava back up if you ask me lol but thats a great example there. And this one mission is on video from a drone. Delta runs in ans grabs there guys and is running out. When the bad guys buddies show up. Sas didnt fire 1 shot. They just watched the show as delta went to work. And they mowed these loser terrorists down in seconds. Then left and went home. Delta is known for there perfect shooting. I forget the distance for the 2 but for one distance they have to be 100% and for the next distance they have to be 80 % or better. Just to make thebteams ans then to stay on the teams.. well this guys podcast that i watched last week. He had a former british SAS guy on his podcast.. he tokd the sas guy how he knows how the sas are known for one of the best shooters. He responded with Delta is THE best shooter's.. and that they had a delta guy on there group for 1 month. And 1 of there guys went ti delta to for a month. He said that delta are the better shooters and the day he landed. His team had to go train for the day. Well he wanted tk go wirh of course. And they already b had it planned out to have the best shooters in all of SAS there tobtry and show him up. There Competitive. Amd the SAS guy said the delta guy smoked them on every drill.

They invented the hearts and minds approach to warfare as well, using less is more approach with far longer insertions behind enemy lines. They then helped the US prepare for Vietnam training. unofficially, they served alongside the Australians in the South, with far greater success and were highly feared by the VC. The attack at Mogadishu; Iranian Embassy; Nariobi rescue; battle of Mirbat in particular speaks for itself.

The primary weapon of specialist units in the UK military is the Colt Canada C8. I’m fairly sure they no longer use the MP5 anymore either, as the MP5 was used when the M16 was unsuitable due to its length but now the C8 fills both roles.

While everyone is pontificating over SAS/SBS or Delta, not one mention of Gurkha selection. I respect them all, I was no where near their level and never will be, but I do like the ethos of Mr Grey.

My Late Father Solomon Esar Butler served in 22 SAS The Increment Regiment now know as E Sqaudron as of 2005 from 1984-1999 but he was Recruited from Royal Artillery Regiment which i believe is the same tier 2 as MARSOC and then similar to Tier 3 USMC but anyway he passed away in August 2012 aged 52 and he used tell me stories about his SIS (Secret Intelligence Service) MI6 vs CIA SAD operators and that out of all the USA 🇺🇸 Tier 1 and some Tier 2 units that my Dad's Regiment would always Beat the Americans on Exercises and Joint Training Operations in Germany during the late 80s early 90s my Dad was pretty much equipped with the same AR10S AR15S the Tier 1 US Government Forces were using at that time the Increment Regiment which is Highly Classified has done covert Operations in Denied locations around the World Russia China Syria North Korea Saudi Arabia Somalia Kenya Uganda Rwanda places the US Army didn't want to get involved in because the dumb American Tier 1 operators like the Black Hawk Down incident with Task Force Rangers JROC and Delta Force couldn't beat the SNA Somali National Alliance so our UK 🇬🇧Government sent Spies like my Dad Bless him to finish your wars whilst you've pulled out of those nation's because your getting your troops killed in conflict and by the way my dad was an Extremely Popular man around US/UK Tier 1 Operations my Dad had a Significant amount of Funding mostly from American Made Firearms Manufacturers like the Armalite AR10s Battle Rifles as my Dad was originally in Royal Artillery they were still using the British L1A1 SLR FN FAL even upto when he resigned from SIS/SAS Service he was strong enough to carry Additional 7.62x51 Nato Ammunition compared to your average Delta/CIA/SAD Operators one of a kind from the UK 🇬🇧 don't get many operators that fit to carry that much Ammunition these days he was very much respected around the World because of his Commitment to his Cause

Greatest respect for your late father but calling Delta force operators dumb is way off the mark , SAS and Delta have famously worked together in Iraq and Afghanistan to great effect in the war on terror , regarding Black Hawk down ( battle of Mogadishu ) the task force inflicted more casualties on the Somalians than they received two Delta operators master sergeant Gary Gordon and sergeant first class Randy Shugart were posthumously awarded the medal of honour for their actions in trying to rescue the downed helicopter crews and no i am not an American i am British

Something tells me your late father was telling you bedtime stories, because all of the books out there written by former SAS or Delta, make absolutely no mention of the crap you're spouting. Furthermore, in the book TF Black: The Explosively True Story of the SAS in Iraq, the author clearly states 22SAS commander preferred Delta Force over his own SAS. Pray tell, if Delta were so easily defeated by your father, why would your own SAS prefer Delta?

Fair play Guys im not disrespectful towards Delta Force i actually think as of 21st century they are probably the world's best tier 1 unit but in my Dad's era 1984-1999 period my Dad's unit and him alone was far more superior in secret missions in enemy occupied territory without much support from other allied nations involved obviously my dad was an extremely competitive Athlete and Operator and Spy he was actually ahead of some Delta Force operator's as he worked for MI6 and the Increment Regiment no disrespect towards CIA and Delta's but in my Dad's timeline he done stuff in the World that Delta Force wouldn't even intervene in my Dad was in a Denied Unit and majority of his time he was a lone wolf and was trained on every firearms platforms at the era and had himself a significant amount of money saved up prior to being the British Army and then going into SAS and MI6 selections he was one of his own kind and im not saying the Americans are dumb because what i mean is the Americans had a little bit arrogant attitudes and still thought they were above everyone else when my Dad was a non bullshit type of guy his actions were louder than his words he never boasted or bragged about anything he only told me this about his Miltary Interventions operations around the World before he died he also went by a different name to hide his indentity that name was his Ghanaian Heritage name of JaggerPeasco he was called only MI6 are aware of this but since he's been Dead since 2012 me and my mum have his Army Documents Medals and Certificates of Countries he's been involved with to help liberate oppressed nations he would be 63 years old right now and he actually respected Delta Force in that Black Hawk Down conflict in Somalia obviously the whole operation went wrong hence why my dad intervened himself to track down HVTs in Mogadishu when the Americans pulled out by the way Black Hawk Down is an Excellent War Film and my Dad knew of the Delta Snipers Randall Shughart and Gary Gordon same Generation as my Dad 2 of the Best US 🇺🇸 Serviceman to ever Grace the Battlefield my Dad really missed them both and what happened to them should of never happened in the first place i blame the politicians and Government for sending them in with Below average weaponry at that time those CAR15s were no good in terms of stopping power as i mentioned my dad was trained on the heavier hitting L1A1 SLR Rifle and then he eventually used Eagle Arms/Armalite AR10s Pre Ban ones that had superior Range and Stopping Power i believe the AR15s were not going through the SNA Militiamen hence my Dad's Anti 556 round opinions as we found out in Afghanistan Conflict againts the Drugged up Taliban but my Dad couldn't be upranked in 1999 and probably because of his age as well which one of my former support workers i know her name is Gina her actual Husband is still in the British SBS and is a very High Rank my Dad was only a Sergeant in MI6 but Gina told me its probably because of my Dad's Health deterioration and his age of nearly 40 in the year 2000 he wouldn't of done much service after 911 Attacks in 2001 onwards probably another 5 years max then would of have to retire and i know plenty of UK people who have worked for either the MOD MI6/MI5 or there Husbands were Former Tier 1 Special Forces like SAS or SBS or even Undercover Agents but i won't mention anymore names now because this is the Internet obviously but thanks for your guys opinions too i appreciate it but me and my mum are under UK 🇬🇧 Veterans Support and some Government Support as my mum is a widow now to my dad and she's still married to my late father which we all get Support from the British Army and UKSF/MI6 Community 😊💙🇬🇧🇺🇲🇪🇺🇺🇳🗽👍🏾

@@jordanbutler204 most of what you've written probably didn't take place, and was either a tall tale from your father, or wasn't actually something he said. No disrespect intended, but everybody and their cousin seems to have a father that was part of a super secret organization that tells the same story. I run into a dozen of them every day on Quora.
