The Army has their Tier 1 Operatives known as “Delta Force” or simply “the Unit”. The Navy counters with a group so secretive the name changes depending on who your talking to. “DevGru” “Team Six” and “The Boys” to name a few.
To get into Delta or Team Six you must serve as a Special Forces Operator (Navy SEAL or Green Beret/Ranger) with an impeccable record on and off the field. Only the top 1% of Navy SEALs are even acknowledged for this honor. You will then be invited to try out. Not everyone of this super elite hand picked group makes the “try out”.
