Operations Forces Tier System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Special Operations Forces Tier System
Tier One
Tier One are "black" elements, which are national-level assets that
comprise the highest level on the United States Special Operations
Command spectrum and National Command Authority. The chain of command
for these units bypasses traditional military bureaucracy, and they will
be deployed directly by the President, Joint Chiefs, and/or Defense
Secretary. These units are the most selective, with acceptance rates
of 10 to 15 percent and include the US Army's secretive Delta Force
and the US Navy's counterpart DEVGRU.The Army's Intelligence
Support Activity, and the US Air Force's 24th Special Tactics Squadron
are Tier One intelligence and support elements.These are the
black side of the Special Operations community, and fall under the Joint
Special Operations Command's Special Mission Unit classification.
Tier Two
Some examples include the Army Special Forces ("Green Berets"),
75th Ranger Regiment, U.S. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance and U.S.
Navy SEALs." These units also engage in highly dangerous and
specialized missions; however, these are usually "gray
operations" which are within military protocol and are not denied by
the chain of command.
