Delta Force: Organization and Structure
By SOFREP, George Hand
Inspired by the British SAS, Delta Force is similarly structured and focuses on small, highly skilled teams. The unit is headquartered at Fort Liberty, North Carolina, and estimates, as mentioned in Sean Naylor’s Not a Good Day to Die: The Untold Story of Operation Anaconda, suggest that around 1,000 soldiers are assigned, with 250-300 of those being the core “Operators.”
The general Delta Force operational structure is broken down into several squadrons:
- undefined

Additional elements include:

This structure allows Delta Force to be highly adaptable and deploy specialized teams for a wide range of high-risk missions, from direct action and cyber warfare to intelligence gathering and strategic support.
