Delta Force and SEAL Team Six are both considered the elite of the elite, and one isn't known as being harder to get into than the other. SEAL Team Six is officially known as the United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group.

DEVGRU(Naval Special Warfare Development Group) formerly known as SEAL Team 6 has a 9 month Special Operations Assaulter course. Im positive that Delta Force's selection time would be very similar to this,it used to be 6 months. But since the 2000's Special Operations units have been upping the anty on there selection courses. DEVGRU and Delta Force are very comparable so im sure Delta's selection is probably about the same.
The only way to serve on a SEAL team without being in the Navy is by joining the Air Force, becoming a Combat Controller. After that, the Air Force will put you on a special operations team that needs someone with those skills. The teams include Army Rangers and Special Forces teams, AF Special Tactics Teams, and Navy SEAL teams. You won't be a SEAL in the sense of the word, but you will operate with them in the field as part of the team.
There is a few things you have to do to be a Navy Seal and on team 6. You will have to start with joining the Navy.
Neither sees more "action" than the other. The unit that is assigned to a specific mission depends on a variety of things. For example, if the mission takes place on water, then DevGru is most likely to be sent. If it takes place on land, Delta or DevGru could be sent. The availability of a unit will also play a factor. When the bin Laden raid occured, DevGru's Red Squadron had just finished a rotation in Afghanistan and could be rerouted for a final operation without creating a lot of unwanted attention. The capture of Saddam Hussein involved a Delta team, a platoon from the 75th Ranger Regiment, and soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division.
Both Delta Force and the SEAL team keep their missions secret. So it is hard to know which gets more missions.
The missions conducted by SEAL Team Six and Delta Force are classified, and it is not generally known which group goes on more missions. SEAL Team Six rose to public consciousness for conducting the raid that resulted in the killing of Osama bin Laden.
No. It was the Navy's equivalent 'NAV SPEC WAR DEVGRU' formerly 'seal team 6'
they make about 50,000 to 60,000 dollars a year
It is one of are top counter-terroism units the other one being DEVGRU (SEAL team 6)
That would be 1st special forces operational detachment-delta (delta force). a close second would be navy DEVGRU (or SEAL team-six), but as Delta force is older, they have more experience and expertise.
The Navy's SEAL units are primarily team based / unit based operators, whose missions focus on swift action behind enemy lines. The Army's 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-D, or Delta Force, also does small unit tactics, but the common recruiting factor between all of their members is that they are also outstanding in their ability to work alone, and without support if the mission requires it. SEAL's rarely work as lone operators; Delta Force operators' ability to go it alone when necessary is their key asset. For a great read on Delta Force, check out Eric Haney's book, "Inside Delta Force".
No, Delta force is the U.S. Army's tier one special operations unit. It is formally known as "1st special forces operational-detachment delta", its Navy and Airforce counter parts are DEVGRU(SEAL team six), and the 24th special tactics squadron.
Seal Team 6 with the support of Delta Sqaud. (Delta Squad did not enter the mansion, they were just making sure that nobody else entered the compound.)
SEAL Team 6 (DEVGRU) is probably the best because they are a Special Mission Unit (SMU) just like 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force). You have to be a Navy SEAL before going into SEAL Team 6 so they are more elite than "ordinary" SEALs. But yes all SEAL Teams are very highly trained and elite.
In the US Military Delta Force were the only unit who condicted Black operations. Then SEAL Team 6 joined them later when they were created.
Tier 1 is the top tier... this would includes groups such as Delta Force, SEAL Team 6, 22nd SAS Regiment, etc.
