All branches of the US Military have a Special Operations unit, except for the Coast Guard.
Army- Rangers, Special Forces, Delta, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment
Navy- SEALs, SWCCs
Air Force- Special Tactics: Combat Controllers, Pararescue, Special Operation Weather Technicians;
Marines- Recon Battalions (not exactly special operations, but, more specialized than infantry) Force Recon Companies, MarSoc
Coast Guard - no real SOF units, but they do have a Deployable Operations Group which acts as their "door-kicking" unit. In the past few years, they have been sending a handful of people to BUD/S, but as far as I know, only about 5-6 have passed.
