SAS vs Delta Force - which is better?
Established in 1941 by British Army officer David Stirling, the SAS originated in North African deserts during World War II. Stirling had a daring vision to outfox the Germans in North Africa. He devised a strategy involving small parachute teams to infiltrate enemy territory, collect intelligence, sabotage, and disrupt supply routes. After presenting his bold idea to his high command, the SAS was given the green light. At the beginning, the SAS was called "L Detachment, Special Air Service Brigade. Delta Force was formed in 1977 in response to various terrorist incidents. Charlie Beckwith, a Green Beret and Vietnam War veteran, worked with the British Army's 22nd Special Air Service during the Malayan Emergency. Beckwith believed the U.S. Army lacked a dedicated unit for direct action and counterterrorism, unlike the U.S. Army Special Forces, which mainly trained and assisted local fighters. Beckwith had a vision of creating small teams that could adapt and work on their own for special missions. He shared his idea with his superiors, but they were reluctant to make any changes. The UK Special Forces don't recruit from the general public; they accept applications from UK Armed Forces. However historically, most of the candidates came from the Royal Marines or Parachute Regiment. In October 2018, they opened SAS recruitment to women. The selection process takes place twice a year. Typically, only a small fraction, around 10% of candidates successfully pass it. The initial phase lasts for 4 weeks in the Brecon Beacons, with around 200 candidates. They kick things off with a fitness test - like 50 sit-ups, 60 push-ups, and a 1.5-mile run. Then, they have to march 8 miles in two hours carrying a 25-pound load. By the end of this phase, they gotta run 4 miles in under half an hour and swim 2 miles in an hour and a half. It becomes even more challenging with the grand finale - a grueling "Endurance" test that requires them to march 40 miles with full gear and conquer the Pen y Fan Mountain within 20-hours. Next they jet off to places like Belize, Brunei, or Malaysia for jungle training, where they learn navigation, patrol, and survive in the wild. The Delta operator selection process takes place twice a year and lasts for four weeks at Camp Dawson in West Virginia. To apply, you need to be a male with a high score on a military aptitude test and have at least two and a half years left in your military service. You also must be eligible for a secret-level security clearance and have a good behavior record. The process starts with physical tests like a 2-mile run, an inverted crawl, and a 110-yard swim while wearing full gear. After that, candidates go through land navigation courses, including an 18-mile night hike carrying a 40-pound backpack, using only a paper map and compass. The final challenge is "The Long Walk," a 40-mile march over tough terrain with a 45-pound backpack. There's also a mental part with psychological exams. It's really tough, and most candidates, about 90%, don't make it through the selection. Once SAS recruits survived the tough selection process and earned their SAS wings, they enter a training phase that never really ends. Delta Force training is among the toughest in the world. After making it through the selection, recruits face a 6-month Operator Training Course, split into six parts. First up is marksmanship, where they start by shooting stationary targets up close, then move to moving targets, and eventually learn how to clear rooms full of enemies.
For detailed comparison, watch the video.

i'm a member of a US special force unit and i've worked with the SAS,delta force the RANGERS the NAVY SEALS and some other SF unit's and i can say that their all switched on and more than competent But there is ONE unit that stands head and shoulders above the rest and this is due to a few details like equipment or lack of equipment,coolness under pressure,never panic,attitude,never get emotional,training,and being united i never heard one of these guys bad mouth their brothers behind their backs and also history plays a big part and the selection process alone leave'e them with only the premier recruits and the money is crap!!! Yep it's the SAS ..But thats just my opinion of being in the US military for over 20 yrs and experiencing working shoulder to shoulder with these guys in combat situations,when you come away from working with the SAS you fell like a better soilder..

The way you wrote this comment out, I can tell with 100% certainty and confidence that you never served in any US Special Forces capacity once so ever. LOL Nobody in the US military talks like this for one, and 2nd, US “Special Forces” is always a moniker for Green Berets only. So you either served in a active SFG or in support capacity to a SFG. Other wise, you would of just said you served within “SOF”. And 3nd, you used the term “Delta Force” when you claimed to have worked with them and the Rangers, and nobody in the SOF or SF community calls them that. If you had said CAG, Army SMU, or The Unit, maby you could of sold this BS a littler smoother. I love how you spelled out “RANGERS” and “NAVY SEALS” in capital letters. As if that’s (super) impressive 😂 Lol Absolutely (pathetic) that you’re putting out a phony “Special Forces” identity just so your “opinion” on the SAS has some credibility.. 💩💩 What a desperate lot you are 🤣🤣 It’s the desperate nature of comments like this that reinforce the FACT that US JSOC is leagues above any UK SF unit.

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.

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'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 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.

The SAS have (had?) only a small amount of HK53s, I don’t think they were ever adopted. I’m sure the Royal Armouries or Forgotten Weapons channels cover the SAS’s more unusual HK weapons including what can only be described as an illegitimate love child of a G3 with with an MP5 (think of an MP5 chambered in 7.62). 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.

@@greghardman5064 They became the Army commandos. The navy developed in tandem brining amphibious assault and raiding to the mix. I guess that’s why the current SFSG is constituted from Royal Marines and Army (who have passed All Arms) battalions. Of course, selection for UKSF generally comes from SFSG personnel but it’s certainly not limited to it as I intimated in my initial comment. I heard that the Royal Marines Commando is expanding and a new battalion is being formed, 47, which I understand will be strictly UKSF. I’ve got a feeling this is because of the extended and diverse roles we have seen with forty, 4-5 and even 4-2 over the last 22ish years - in that they have become less like the raiding parties and more akin to RRF. I suppose this might be because of the interdisciplinary nature of the training, picking up a very broad and diverse set of trades.

@robertmarvell9626 5 ай бұрын

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!

@@lendevonuk5479 "And worn on the left shoulder (right as you look at the trooper)." - what military are you referring to here? When I stated "usually parachute wings are worn on the right shoulder", that is the PERSON'S right shoulder, NOT the left. I am of course referring to the British military "Traditionally, these wings are awarded after completing several operational battles." - again, what military are you referring to? In the British military, para wings are worn by someone having completed P company, and the requisite jumps

A big part is the selection course, the SAS recurits, unlike the Seals have no one shouting and motivating them, it all comes from with in the recruit themselves, and as far as I know delta trains them like this too, this makes them a different breed in my opinion

SEALS don't really compare to SAS and Delta. They are tier 2 for a start

Seals are closer to royal marines but we don't really have an equivalent in the UK. We don't have a specific para rescue unit either.

I’m English and proud of our SAS. However all the special forces of our allies in the US particularly DELTA force and Navy Seals Command lots of respect here in the UK. Put it this way I’m glad they’re on the same side 👍

On both sides of the Atlantic. Competiveness is encouraged. Rivalry is counter productive.

That’s not really saying much considering JSOC has captured/Killed more significant terrorist leadership and rescued more hostages then 22 SAS, Aussie/NZ SAS and Canada JTF-2 (combined) 😂😂😂 tell me mate, can you even name (one) example of Aussie/NZ or Canadian SOF ever doing a real world hostage rescue?? I’ll wait 🤫

@@joesgotya9930 The Aussies, NZ, Rhodesian SAS (UK there unofficially) had far more success in South Vietnam and more were more respected by the VC for their professionalism. As for your wild claim about terror cells.. the UK were involved in plenty of grab missions. Billingham served longer than any other US officer, with over 20yrs from Ireland, Bosnia through to the present day. You have no idea what missions the SAS and SBS were doing ... we do know they were the busiest they have been since 8 yrs In Malayan, Vietnam and Borneo!
