I've been looking at Double Blast's filecard, it's interesting that they make him out to be almost the Macgyver of the Joes.
YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Double Blast He's also another one that seems to have been recruited from civilian life by a Joe recruiter. |

That bit about the college thing and the Joe recruiter is odd.
Also the filecard makes it odd the Double Blast is a machine gunner. Seems a waste of his talents. He should be in the think tank with Brainstorm. I use the Urban Roadblock as Double Blast.

So slightly OT, but with the recent Bin Laden news, and the (at least prelim) info that this mission was carried out by SEAL Team Six (DEVGRU afaiu) I was wondering whether anyone knows the breakdown of missions across Afghanistan/anywhere for the different Tier One US forces?
For example SEAL Team Six were apparently also involved in the failed attempt to rescue a female British aid worker some months back. I've not heard of any other missions specifically and was wondering where Delta Force are in all this (and are there any other Tier One organisations you chaps have, probably, refresh my mind - so much easier over here with just the SAS and SBS ;) )? Any thoughts chaps? |

As far as I understand, SFOD-Delta, DEVGRU, ISA and 24th STS are the only Tier 1 elements.

In which case it's presumably simply a combination of bad, then good luck that DEVGRU got first the aid worker raid, then Bin Laden (and that none of the other teams' raids or other work has been news worthy/declassified)?

I believe the JSOC Commander right now is a Navy Admiral... that may mean that DevGru is shown some favoristism in getting mission assignments.

Could very well be that Delta was also involved, playing a support role, or perhaps they simply had other assignments.

It is possible that the Army ISA could have been with DevGru just to sweep the place for Intel in case Osama wasn't there. They said going in that this operation wasn't a sure thing. It wouldn't surprize me, however, if the Admiral just assigned DevGru instead of Delta because they're Navy. Inter-Service Rivalry still exists.
