Zuludelta, this has been a longstanding question of mine concerning Delta teams. How are they structured? In Bowden's book Black Hawk Down, Delta worked in four-man teams and each team leader was an E-7, but other men on the teams, such as two medics, were E-7s as well. But Bowden doesn't really break down the role of each team member. In other words, an SF team typically has teams of six men: Medical Sgt, Comm Sgt, Engineer Sgt, Weapons Sgt, Opearations Sgt and the Detachment Commander or Warrant Officer. Are Delta teams structured similarly?
"Inside Delta Force, "Kill Bin Laden", "The Mission, the Men, and Me" and "Delta Force" are the books I've read on this subject.
The structure of Delta Teams are 4-man teams... that's the basic element. Although, if Delta wants to do a larger scale operation, then those units combine into larger units lead by a higher ranking soldier. However, there are times when 1 or 2 Delta Operators get tasked for a specific assignment. It's pretty mission dependent.
An E-7 or E-8 would lead one of these 4-man teams. two or four of these teams might then be overseen by an E-8 or E-9. The books aren't overly specific, but I think that's purposeful - security reasons. Officers still oversee things. There is Rank in Delta Force, unlike what some on this thread have suggested. No one under E-6 is even invited to try out for selection. Officers have to be at least a Captain.
The question I have is : What about Warrant Officers? I couldn't find any real mention of them, but SF has them and really counts on them. So I don't know. I would imagine that an SF Warrant would be allowed to try out if he wanted to.
