Delta Force's primary tasks are counter-terrorism and national intervention operations, although it is an extremely versatile group capable of assuming many missions, including, but not limited to, rescuing hostages, raids, and eliminating covert enemy forces. Delta Force conducts missions similar to those attributed to the British Special Air Service (SAS), on which it was originally modelled.
The British S.A.S help set up the American Delta Force. A man named Charlie Beckwith who was trained by an S.A.S legend by the name of John Lofty Wiseman. Charles Beckwith served as an exchange officer in the 1960's in the 22cnd SAS Regiment. and in 1962 went to America on loan to help better the American Delta force along with S.A.S legend John Lofty Wiseman.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of a unit depends on the specific situation, objectives, and the skills and experience of its individual operators.
