How many different types of Special Forces are there?
For the most part, special forces is special forces, there are some special forces that have main role duties, such as Army sappers, and EOD teams, but from what I understand, the main chariteristic of most special forces, is to be good at everything, and to do so everywhere and anywhere, at anytime, and everytime. When it all started it was all about sending a small unit to do a sh!t load of damage "unconventional warfare". Green berets and Navy SEALs are good for that. Today however its more about sending a small unit to do permanent damage exactly where its needed, "counter-terrorism", which as it sounds, is allot more difficult and takes a much more skillful and disciplined unit, hence "Tier 1 special operations units", like Delta force, DEVGRU, and the 24th special tactics squadron. However it would be much easier to explain in discussion, message me if you like.
What comes after basic training in the us army?
There are a couple of answers to this. Most soldiers will go straight to Advanced Individual Training, where they learn the skills needed to do the job they enlisted for. If you joined an MOS that requires language training, you do that before AIT. The installation you go to is the Presidio of Monterey, California. Soldiers who joined MOS 18X (Special Forces Enlistment) go to a lot of schools: Infantry School, Airborne School, then Special Operations Preparation Course, Special Forces Assessment and Selection, and finally the Special Forces Qualification Course.
How do you the tasks of green beret differ from that of SFOD-D?
SFOD-D is Delta Force which is primarily a counter terrorism unit specializing in hostage rescue tactics. Special Forces Groups specialize in foreign internal defense, counter insurgency operations and special reconnaissance. Special Forces personnel endure over a year of training (2years for 18D Medical Sergeants) and are then placed in a Special Forces Group. Each Group is assigned a separate regional area of the world and each member speaks the local language of that area and masters the local customs to assimilate into the local culture. Where Delta usually kicks in doors and conducts quick raid style operations, Special Forces are primarily teachers and instruct local militia forces and turn them into formidible fighting forces, in-turn creating a large force of indigenous personnel to conduct missions. Using these local fighters to wage war reduces the need of risking American lives to resolve foreign problems and allows the locals most affected by the struggle to directly make a difference in their own country. Don't be misunderstood, Special forces personnel can still kick doors with the best of them but they are specifically designed to infiltrate deep within foreign nations to gather intelligence, train local forces and conduct military operations long before conventional troops are deployed. Another difference is that Delta usually conducts quick in and out missions whereas Special Forces can spend anywhere between 6 months to years in another country conducting operations. Special Forces personnel are highly flexible and therefore an invaluable asset to strategic military planners and theatre commanders.

Who is better the marines the rangers or the navy seals?
Marines are regular forces but have their own specialist special operations branches such as force recon. Rangers are elite light infantry who are trained to support tier one sf on operations. Seals are a special operations force who are as good or better than the rangers on land but are also trained in military diving and free fall parachuting. These skills set them apart, they also have the most difficult training of the 3 units. So the SEALs are 'the best'.
