So the deal with "Blue Light" group is this:
It took 24 months to get Delta up and running. Selection, training, etc... Beckwith wanted 24 months. There was also some competition over money for a unit like that and 5th group started it's own counter terrorist unit, which they called "Blue Light".
Beckwith doesn't give many details, but he leaves us with the impression that "Blue Light" was disbanded... however, after it was supposed to have been "disbanded" none of the members of "Blue Light" came over to try out of Delta Selection. Eric Haney remarks on the same thing in his book.
On the face of it, it doesn't sound like much, but why on earth wouldn't the guys from Blue Light try out for Delta? I mean, these would be the guys who would stand the best chance of success and had the most counter terrorist training. These guys would be the best candidates for recruiting - they had nearly 2 years of experience for a unit that was struggling to get on it's feet... so why wouldn't they try out?
Maybe because they were never disbanded. Wikipedia claims that some claim "Blue Light" never disbanded and simply went underground - top secret stuff. I think it's somewhat naive to think that the only Secret Unit the Army has is "Delta Force" In a lot of ways, Delta is so "Famous" that they're not even really that secret anymore. The Army would need another Unit for really secretive stuff... Blue Light could very well still exist.
