Delta Force's primary missions include counter-terrorism, capturing or eliminating high-value targets, hostage rescue, direct operations, and deep reconnaissance.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was captured this morning by members of Delta Force, one of the most secret and elite units of the US military.
Delta Force was also assisted by the airborne unit, known as the "Night Stalkers".
Officially known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment–Delta (1st SFOD-D), Delta Force was founded in 1977 in response to the rise of international terrorism.
The unit was created at the initiative of Colonel Charlie Beckwith, inspired by the structure and methods of the British SAS special forces.
Although administratively part of the US Army, Delta Force operates under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and reports directly to the highest levels of the US government.
It is also known by other operational names such as Combat Applications Group (CAG), "The Unit" or Task Force Green, due to the covert nature of its missions.
Delta Force's primary missions include counter-terrorism, capturing or eliminating high-value targets, hostage rescue, direct operations, and deep reconnaissance.
The unit consists of small teams of highly trained operators, capable of operating in extreme conditions and hostile territories.
Recruitment into Delta Force is extremely selective.
Candidates come mainly from Special Forces (Green Berets) and the 75th Ranger Regiment, while the selection and training process is considered among the most difficult in the world.
Only a very small percentage of candidates manage to become part of the unit.
Delta Force is equipped with advanced weapons and technology, including the HK416 rifle and specialized equipment for urban, aerial and covert operations.
Who are the "Night Stalkers"?
"Night Stalkers" is the unofficial name for the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (160th SOAR), a unit created to support American special forces in the most dangerous and politically sensitive missions.
The regiment specializes in flying at night, in conditions of minimal visibility, and in high-risk aerial maneuvers where conventional aviation cannot operate.
The 160th SOAR crews are trained to fly at very low altitudes, with stealthy approaches and maximum speed, enabling the insertion and extraction of special forces into hostile territories.
The helicopters used by this unit, including modified Chinook and Black Hawk models, are equipped for precision operations, fire support, and rapid evacuations.
According to international reports, the profile of low-flying flights, night operations, and the presence of special helicopters in the Caracas area match the typical tactics of the "Night Stalkers", reinforcing the assessments that this unit played a key role in Delta Force's air support during the operation.
"Night Stalkers" act as the air pillar of special forces, providing stealth, speed, and tactical superiority, elements considered crucial in strategic-level operations such as the one reported in Venezuela.
