They are the only official US Army Special Forces unit; they are called SF men for short. Any other such men or units are also categorized as "special operations units" but that is simply a catch all phrase to avoid using a lot of confusing terms. "Special forces" is used generically in other countries, but in the US, it specifically means only the Green Berets.
Now, the best Green Berets are asked to try out for Delta Force, with only the top 0.1% making it in. Delta is a "special operations" unit, not "Special Forces," but they are more elite.

No. Not even close. The toughest and best Special Forces are British SAS, American Delta Force,Green Beret and Marines' Force Recon

There isn't a single answer, offically they are Great Britain with the S.A.S and Parachute Regiment, The United States of America with their Navy S.E.A.L.S, 101st Airborne Division, Green Berets and Delta Force and Russia's Spetsnaz.
Best special forces in the world?
The British S.A.S, the Russian Spetsnaz and the U.S Navy Seals and Delta Force are often considered the best, but there isn't an answer everyone agrees on.
Has England got the best fighting force in the world the SAS?
The United States special forces trained along side with the SAS in it's early years. Remember that this country is much younger than England these forces had more centuries of training but I never go along with reaching a side in what force is superiour. The best trained forces have it's up and downs no matter what country it's from.
Is it easier to get in to Special forces as an officer?
No it is not, in fact it is twice as hard because you have to go through the program basically twice, so if you are worried about getting in to SF well than being an enlisted man would be your best bet.
Who is the best female green beret?
There are no female green berets.
What Special Operations group is best to start at to become Delta Force?
The Delta Force is with the army so Green Berets would be best but the rangers wouldn't be bad either
Do special activities division work in a group and are they the best and complete special force in the world?
They work both in groups and solo operations. They could be the best special forces organization in the world as they are selected from the best of the best special forces from Army Rangers, Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps Force Recon, Air Force Pararescue, etc. etc. Ontop of being the best special operators, having the most experience, and most highly trained, they still undergo even futher advanced training in special weapons and tactics, much of which are top secret.
Are the green berets in delta force?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Delta and Green Berets are two completely different special operations units with very different standards, missions, and roles. Delta Force was formed by a Green Beret (Col. Beckwith), who wanted to create a free-standing special operations unit similar to the British SAS. Delta exists outside of the traditional Army special operations hierarchy and is completely autonomous. It is the most elite, professional, covert, and exclusive special operations unit in the entire US armed forces. Only very select Green Berets and Rangers are asked to try out for Delta Selection. Only a very very small percentage of those actually make it in. Delta has actually run Selection courses where they have not accepted a single candidate. That's how elite and high Delta's standards are. So Delta is the best-of-the-best special operators (Green Berets and Rangers), who once accepted then undergo years of more specialized training. Green Berets basically specialize in unconventional warfare, training foreign armies, and some reconnaissance. Delta specializes in hostage rescue, recon, direct action, and anything else that needs extreme tactical perfection and covert surgical precision. Delta also takes part in black operations, high-value-target assassinations, etc. So Delta is a big step above the Green Berets, taking the best of them and the best Rangers, and then training them to an utter precision point. Delta is by far the most elite special operations unit that the US has to offer. Colonel Beckwith was looking to create a unit more elite and specialized than the Green Berets for the purposes of counter-terrorism, autonomous direct action missions, and black operations. Delta exists outside of the Army special operations community and is managed by the Joint Special Operations Command, with a direct line to top Department of Defense brass. Very autonomous and no bureaucracy to slow them down. Delta takes candidates that are the best Green Berets and Rangers, but only maybe 10 (at most) make it through a year. After that, they have years of more rigorous training before becoming a full operator.

Is Gurkha rifle best special forces in the world?
The Gurkha Rifles are not Special Forces. They are an elite infantry unit and are certainly among the best soldiers in the world, but were never classed a Special Forces
How good are the Irish special forces?
the Irish special forces are not the best in the world but usually come 3rd or 4th
Are the Rangers and Green Beret both US Army Special Forces?
No you can only be one. When your in the 75th Ranger Regiment its considered a lateral move to go to Green Beret. Green Beret takes extensive training and to keep you fresh eventually they will send you to "Ranger School". It's mainly a leadership school but is meant for light infantry training. So in that since you can have the Ranger Tab and be in the Green Berets, but you can not be in the Ranger Regiment and be Special Forces.
What is the best defense of the military - green berets or navy seals?
Personnel of the Green Berets will make it very clear that the Green Berets are the best. They will probably say that they are the best at everything.Unsurprisingly, the Navy SEALs are likely to say exactly the same. So will the British SAS and SBS. Ask the Marines for their opinion and they will say the same about their own service. There are many more just like these.Each of them have certain roles to play, are remarkably well trained and all can rightly claim to be among the elite of the military. We are fortunate to have them as part of the Western free world and if I need military help, I would be glad to see any one of them coming to my aid.
