As OutKick readers are well aware, the United States Special Operations community is the most elite, well-trained, capable and efficient in the world.
We have capabilities other countries couldn't dream of possessing, and our Tier One units are the tip of the spear.
Below are the United States secret and covert five Tier One units:
- Delta Force: Direct action and hostage rescue.
- SEAL Team 6: Direct action and hostage rescue.
- RRC: Stealth recon in extreme environments with direct action capabilities.
- TFO: Intelligence.
- 24th STS: Air Force CCTs and PJs, often augmented to ST6 and Delta.
The article touts the capabilities of the 24th STS but the units that are classed as tier 1 is what caught my attention.
Delta and SEAL Team 6? Everyone knows that no surprise. Regimental Recon Company (RRC) from the Rangers? NEVER KNEW!
Interesting though. A Ranger has the choice of going either Delta or RRC? Just plain wow.
TFO. Never knew. Never imagined. Real name is Task Force Orange. via Goggle AI...
Task Force Orange (TFO), also known as the Army Intelligence Support Activity (ISA) or "The Activity," is a top-secret Tier 1 special mission unit within JSOC that specializes in signals intelligence (SIGINT) and human intelligence (HUMINT). It supports other Tier 1 units like Delta Force and SEAL Team 6 by conducting undercover operations, surveillance, and pre-mission reconnaissance to enable high-stakes, direct-action missions.
Makes sense I guess. I wonder. They conduct undercover ops, surveillance and pre-mission recon? Sounds like the American Massad. I wonder if their missions overlap with the CIA?
I know most of you already knew this but I didn't. I thought it was a Delta and SEAL Team 6 world when it came to tier 1 but I was wrong.
Sidenote. You do realize that we could actually thin SOCOM into a pure US Army show and not lose any capability don't you?
