  • @tbellncsu take your spamming else where, US has no special forces during WW-2 and non even close to the SAS, DELTA forces is formed after SAS, SEAL's where origins from the scout and raiders during WW-2 but by no means where they special forces maybe by US standard,

  • 9. this is like the u.s. trying to take credit for south korea's 707th special missions battalion. their entire military is actually modeled after ours, but "the white tigers" are uniquely theirs.

  • 8. inspired by sas, who initially helped with training as well, but it's a stretch to say delta was "modeled" on sas. cia, sf, and seals were basically already tasked with all missions other than ct.

  • 7. i believe a lot of confusion stems from the fact col. "charlie" beckwith trained with the s.a.s. and saw a need for an american counter-terrorism unit, 1st sfod-delta (last known as c.a.p.).

  • 6. i must give due credit to our native americans also. afterall, the swamp fox, learned these tactics while battling the cherokee as a lieutenant during the french and indian war.

  • 5. the us can trace the lineage of sof type units all the way back to the birth of our nation when francis marion, the swamp fox, utilized guerilla warfare tactics to great effect against the british.

  • 4. my point is, as you've touched on, both the united states and the uk developed our modern special operations forces mutually. we've continued to share military and intelligence assets.

  • 3. interesting enough, germany was actually the first to organize a special operations and clandestine intelligence ops unit, in the modern sense, with the "brandenburgers".

  • 2. the us army sf and the uk's sas were founded within months of each other. both children of the oss and 1st sod (usa) and the soe (uk), who were founded a year apart in the early stages of ww2.
