What is the Delta Force Operator Training Course? (OTC) | Brent Tucker

Delta has the best shooters on earth. I’ve worked with multiple different agencies, between certain seal teams and delta they have the best shooters. Their equipment is perfect and they are serious. Seals are good at jumping, rangers are good at Rucken, green berets are good at staying quiet, delta is good at shooting and SAS are good at intelligence gathering. Now that’s the truth

[@jimmyfield135]

@@ssgtomen621 Definitely better funded and have better equipment, but that's why the SAS are and always will be better than any SF in the world, because the SAS do everything and more, with limited funding and equipment. Even with all the funding and equipment they get, and they still don't come close to the SAS. Delta is probably on par with the UK royal marines, possibly.

You’d be surprised . Those communities are small . I promise most people who weren’t at very least infantry, or Ranger qualified or failed the Q course or something like that don’t even know the difference between this stuff . I served in the active duty army and when I was In, honestly as an 18-21 year old kid I thought the epitome of high speed jobs was becoming a double tab, and going to Ranger school. Now I’m in my 30’s wishing I would have known about all this stuff and tried it. I was in extremely good shape and a good shooter , but who knows if I would have made it through any of the pipelines . Here I am finishing my second degree , thinking about reenlisting in the guard just for a chance to get a damn Ranger tab. lol.

[@FraldinhoBJJ]

Also; go watch a video on rangers and training . The comments are full of guys saying when they served and which ranger class they graduated from . Obviously there will be far less SF guys and delta lurking around than rangers or seals who werent DEVGRU , but that’s just the nature of things

Do all Delta Force Operators come from special operations units or can they be selected off the streets?

[@bubbaballer88]

Delta selects across all branches. They’ve had a navy diver, marines, a band member, a coast guard guy, etc. Most are recruited from rangers and SF, fewer but still large number from 82nd and 101st Airborne, and some from conventional infantry. This differs from DEVGRU (SEAL Team Six) as they exclusively recruit from the conventional SEAL Teams.

[@Rubeless]

You did not answer his question. No, they are in the military. There is one unit that will take someone off the streets.

[@FrankCastle65]

@@Rubelessand that’s the U.S Military

[@enyskept]

Delta recruits from the entire Military but of course it’s an Army Unit so the overwhelming majority are Army…There’s a mix of prior SOF and Conventional Personnel but most come from “White Side SOF”. The Unit requirement is to have completed a certain amount of years in the Military before you apply…so they do not hire straight off the street… Green Berets, Rangers, and Vanilla Seals” take guys straight off of the street but of course they have to make it through the initial Training/Selection.

[@Just1Guy1000]

My understanding is that selection is open to almost anyone in the department of defense regardless of branch. It's been stated in by other Unit members in other interviews they've had Army band members and crane operators tryout for selection. That's one reason the OTC starts at the very basics to get all on a level playing field.

i like that part where he says the more they know, the more they have to unlearn to relearn the Delta way. I know for instance in the Swedish armed forces when i was there they had a similar attitude with dog handlers. They would go out of their way almost to make sure the guys that got picked had as little experience with dogs as possible, so there was no chance they had bad habits on how to train or act around dogs that worked for a living.

Come on man. The implication from what you’re saying in your passive aggressive post is that anyone who does a job quietly is a pro, and anyone who opens his mouth in public - regardless of the reason be it to motivate, train, teach - is a hot dog. (And now anyone who points out how this thinking is backwards is a “groupie”.) While you’re creating your next-level network of labels for everyone and anything, maybe you could equate podcasts, motivational books (of which there are hundreds for myriad reasons), training and other venues as simply “giving back” by uplifting knowledge, which you’re not doing.

Why don’t they just teach you the delta way from day 1 infantry ?

[@vedder10]

Budget and investment in time to have to cater to the lowest common denominator of soldier. You just heard him say that selection determines that you are the right person. OTC teaches how they do things. Not every volunteer in the Army is the right person to teach the way they do things. Plus Delta gets a lot of money to use a lot of rounds and resources to train the right person. You can't do that on the basic training or AIT budget.

[@longrangevoodoo4480]

Not every random "i dunno what i wanna do with my life" soldier does not require, or even deserve VERY expensive tier 1 training.

Interesting question. As others have said, it has to do with time and money. But they do have a unit called the AWG, called the asymmetric warfare group. This unit bridges the gap between tier one and two special operations forces and the conventional infantry units. They’ve been around for a bit under 20 years now.
