The real Delta Force unit, on which the games franchise is based, was originally created in 1979 and modeled after the British Special Air Service (SAS). The goal of this highly secretive unit was to serve as an overseas commando and counter-terrorist unit which specialized in hostage rescue and the nation's most sensitive military operations. Members of the unit are said to be the world's best specialists in close quarter’s battle (CQB). The recruits for Delta Force consist mainly of volunteers from other elite military branches, such as the 82nd Airborne, the Special Force's Green Berets and the Army's Rangers. The exact composition and strength of Delta Force are closely guarded secrets.
