Everyone was in a deployment at one time or another. U.S. Navy SEALs and U.S. Army Special Forces (Delta). Very little time stateside before the next deployment. Guys got burnout out of this relatively fast. It affected their performance. There is really nothing special about the Bin Laden raid. With enough practice, training and discipline, a regular Army Infantry Platoon could have done the job. Marines could have done it. the 75th Ranger Regiment could have done it. As always, interservice rivalry and politics come into play.
. DEVGRU as you call it (Development Group), or better known as SEAL Team 6, is the elite SEAL Team in the SEAL community.
. Delta (1st SFOD-D) is the elite Special Forces Operational Detachment in the U.S. Army.
SEAL Team 6 has 6 Squadrons: 4 assault, 1 intel, and 1 mobility.
On the U.S. Navy side of the house. A SEAL Team is commanded by a Navy Commander (O-5) and is composed of a HQ element and 8 operational 16-man SEAL Platoons. These Platoons rotate in a continuous and rigorous planned cycle of training and overseas deployments. Platoons can be structured to operate as 8-man Squads, 4-man Fire Teams, or 2-man Sniper/Reconnaissance Teams, as required.
A SEAL Platoon is normally commanded by a Navy Lieutenant (O- 3). A Platoon consists of 16 SEALs and may divide into 2 squads or 4 elements. A SEAL Platoon is the largest operational element normally used to conduct a tactical mission. More often, SEALs operate as 8-man Squads or 4-man Fire Teams.
On the U.S. Army side of the house. An Operational Detachment Team is the heart and soul of Special Forces. That is 12 highly trained soldiers -- primarily 10 non-commissioned officers, 1 warrant officer and 1 Captain. A few formations in Delta - primarily the following operational squadrons:
- A Squadron (Assault)
- B Squadron (Assault)
- C Squadron (Assault)
- D Squadron (Assault)
- E Squadron (Aviation)
- G Squadron (Advanced Force Operations)
- Combat Support Squadron
- Signal Squadron
Within each Squadron there are 3 troops: 2 assault troops for direct action, and 1 reconnaissance and surveillance troop. Each Squadron is commanded by a Lieutenant Colonel (O-5) and troops are led by Majors (O-4). Each troop has 4 teams, each one led by a team leader, a Master Sergeant (E-8) or Sergeant First Class (E-7), and an Assistant Team Leader who can also have the same rank. Each team can have as many as 12, or as few as 1 or 2 operators.
* SEALs usually operate in 16 men teams, and SF (Delta) operates in 12 men teams. Once you are down to 5 men, you are really combat ineffective. 1 lone SEAL, or Green Beret, is as good as 1 lone highly motivated and trained Infantry soldier, Marine, or Ranger. The power and effect comes from the team working as a unit. Once captured (Marcus Luttrell), you are just as scared as a lone captured Army Private (Bowe Bergdahl). All that fancy training goes out the window.
assitance to Ukr ( rush to negotiate with Putin ASAP ) and they even might negotiate with Xi under the table.
