[@hansangb]

@6:08, I was living in Yuma Proving Ground at the time. At night, the base would lose power and you'd hear choppers (w/o any lights). It was the Delta and Army aviators practicing on the mockup of the embassy in the desert. As I recall from COL Beckwith's book, the Marine pilots wanted a piece of the action and was a late substitute for Army avaiators. But as mentioned, 160th SOAR was created so it would never happen again. Also....LOVED the books.

[@davidjeffrey2515]

I’ve read all his books. 👍. My favorite parts are actually when they’re training and prepping for a mission and what they go through. Setting up simulations. Choosing and working with the different weapons they will use. Getting it all down like clockwork to the millisecond. Making sure it is a well oiled machine firing on all cylinders and taking all contingencies into account.

[@David-wl7iv]

“It’s not common” 😂😂😂

[@CreightonDevers]

I still want to see the book covering the "guys on the ground". There was another recently that actually acknowledged meadows' team, but didn't really get deep into their insertions, actions, and exfils. That would be an excellent read.

[@irvin325]

The failure of that mission is because each branch of the military wanted a part of the mission. Marines didn’t have a part so the generals had them use marine helicopters. Delta could not use there experienced army pilots that they trained with since Vietnam. Which is why Joint Special Operations Command was created, to keep other generals out of the planning. Also why the Army’s special operations aviation 160th was created, so they could use the same pilots they train with.

[@seandlax9]

It also made the USMC the red headed step child of SOF in the US Military until 2006 when MARSOC was finally founded and allowed into JSOC.

[@irvin325]

@@seandlax9 Before 9/11, the Marines didn't want to be part of JSOC. They didn't want Marines to be taken away from Marine missions. When your part of JSOC, your unit pretty much belongs to them. After 9/11, they changed there mind because all the top missions were going to JSOC. The Marines missed out on all of those missions. Again, generals wanting a piece of that pie, wanting Marines to participate, so MARSOC was made. Some Force Recon units were turned into MARSOC and pulled away from Marine missions. There was no real need to add another SF unit in JSOC. Again, generals wanting a piece of that pie, and Marines don't have to add it to there budget, JSOC can now pay for the MARSOC gear and training now.

[@seandlax9]

@@irvin325 That's all true, but it was a combination of this and the USMC not wanting to cooperate combined into Force Recon being pretty much neglected by the SOF community until post 9/11 when USMC brass finally got it through their head that they had to contribute to JSOC any meaningful participation.

[@saeedvazirian]

no, it's overconfidence. It wasn't erroneous, it was a mistake (different things). They thought this would work, there wasn't an 'accident.' Talk shit, get hit.

[@JohnDoe-wt9ek]

The Plan had too many moving parts. It predicated on long term stealth with the HOPE of surprise and the potential for violence of action. It also predicated on VERY limited inter-branch training between Army, Air Force and Marines. And the training they did have was limited in scope to their specific job they'd perform, without any consideration of contingencies or operational set backs. JSOC and 160th SOAR(A) were created precisely for the capacity in conducting operations, with interagency, to better facilitate multirole operations and missions without fucking up like they did in 1979.

[@whitmanpriceandhaddad3074]

Well done for acknowledging the UKSF. 👏👏👏

[@davidlakvold8380]

I worked on Operation Eagle Claw as an intell specialist back in 1980. My unit provided the satellite imagery for the planning of that operations. We worked in an underground vault on Offutt AFB, the 544th TMS. This was the time we were transitioning from film being dropped from a satellite to digital, the first Google Earth. We compiled historic film imagery and the new satellite with digital imagery was tasked with updating critical imagery for that mission. Unfortunately folks died on the ground in that mission. Only real time project I worked on while in the military.

[@KVSWF]

[@davidlakvold8380]

@@KVSWF no. I was an intell guy working on the Sat Imagery collection and analysis team. We had the entire library of all TS sat imagery in our vault and pieced together images that helped plan the mission. Digital sat imagery was just beginning. Everything was still on film. Interesting side note, after Reagan won the election some of the freed hostages who had TS clearances toured our vault and I got to meet two or three of them. They thanked us for our efforts. It was a pretty cool moment for me because I was an E-3 at the time.

My favorite quote from the show, Ben - "...frogman luck."

[@brycemcqueen5406]

Seals have more photo shoots than a sports illustrated model. Operation Eagle Claw failed because of the lack of Special Operations Aviation. That failure is why the Army created the 160 Special operations aviation Reg. The mission failure had nothing to do with DELTA.

[@CallsItLikeISeizeIts]

While D was forming, Blue Light was formed from Rgr Bn’s. Main issues were everyone wanted in on the op. Uncoordinated operational prep led to joint/unified. Best thing was forming 160th SOAR for dedicated air support. Still lingering issues with Grenada, but got better over time

[@TheLAGopher]

Blue Light was formed within the 5th SFG. SF saw no reason why CT capability couldn't be created within their existing organization the way the SAS adopted the CT mission vs the Brits creating another unit. Beckwith believed that SFs prime mission of UW and FID would sooner or later result in funding being directed away from CT towards those prime SF missions. That's why DELTA had to be its own thing and not a sub-unit within the larger Ranger and SF communities.

[@arighteousname5882]

Blue light was formed from Sf guys not Ranger batt. Luke the other guy said.

[@tprater1]

Just stumbled on this clip. I was on MC130 call sign Dragon 02 as the Electronic Warfare Officer for the mission. Not only was the mission at the very limits of our capability, it also required an incredible degree of innovation by all. Things that are bread and butter now - such as flying with NODs, blackout landings, comm-out inflight refueling, etc. were all developed during this mission. The incredible sting of failure, the loss of friends, but the fruit decades later of our Joint SOF capability is something that has left a lasting mark on my life.

[@abdullahhashmi654]

The internet is so weird, I can't believe I am commenting under the post of a guy who actually took part in this mission. So all those techniques were not available then? What training did the pilots do, if any which was additional and specific to the mission?

[@tprater1]

The crews had to learn how to takeoff/land as well as do in-flight refueling using 1st gen night vision devices - there were a host of other things that were developed, tried, adopted, failed that was part of some significant innovation required to complete such a complex mission. The requirements required us to operate at the limits, and sometimes beyond our existing capabilities.@@abdullahhashmi654

[@YankeePendragon]

To be fair, the plan as conceived was the most viable one: looking at a map, eastern Iran was sparsely populated frontier, and thus reduced chance of detection at infiltration, and the location of Tehran necessitated a southern approach. It was a combination of inexperience and lack of coordination among the mission elements that caused the mission to abort. One does wonder if the assault could have gone off as well as planned, but alas we'll never know there.

[@Androloudmouth]

My Father SFC Jim Loudermilk was a crew chief for the "Blue Light" unit, which was the predecessor to Delta. He used to tell me stories about how this all went down. He told me the reason those choppers went down was because the Unit that was chosen over Blue Light didn't have the skill set to operate in those conditions and that it was all political. He went on to say that if Blue Light was chosen none of that would of ever happened. Evidently from what my father was told after the incident is that the filters for the turbines on the choppers were either installed incorrectly or not installed at all, which led to the sand being sucked in to the turbine's combustor and adhering to the blades ultimately causing the engine failure. My Father was drafted in '69 and worked on Helicopters his entire career, this bothered him until his death in 2014. RIP pops! "Helicopters don't Fly, they beat the wind into submission"

[@arighteousname5882]

I read that book about the Delta Force when I was a kid too. Eagle Claw is a big part of it. But those Delta boys, they're something else. Total boogymen. They're the ghosts of even the special operations community. Marines check under their beds for Rangers. Rangers check under their beds for Seals and Green Berets. Seals and Green Berets check under their beds for Delta.

And delta check under there bed for the best in the world the sas 😉

John Fraser uhh no

[@Collateral0]

John Fraser kind of not really, the sas I would say are on par with delta, because delta is a mix between all of the U.S spec ops and the SAS.

It's also interesting how after the Fallout from Op Eagle Claw you see the damage control in full swing with even Hollywood in on the act releasing movies like Chuck Norris's Delta Force and movies with similar themes like Megaforce.

I usually listen to audiobooks driving for work. I really want to listen to savage son. Unfortunately the readers monotone makes it nearly impossible to stay awake.
