What branch of the military is Delta Force a part of?

Hey guys, fairly new to this subreddit and hoping you can help me out. In researching potential career paths post-graduation, I've read a lot about the Delta Force but I'm unsure of which branch they're a part of. Is it the Army? Thanks in advance for any info!

Yes, you're correct. Delta Force, officially known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), is a part of the U.S. Army. It's among the U.S. military's elite special operations units, specifically designed for counter-terrorism missions, hostage rescues, and direct action operations. Delta Force typically recruits from other special operations forces within the Army, though technically anyone from any military branch can apply. However, it has a famously rigorous selection process. Hope this helps!
