    1. It hasn't been called DELTA for a long time now, at least 15 years. Most common unclass acronym is CAG (Combat Action Group). 2. There are currently women assigned to that unit 3. Not everyone in CAG is an assaulter. 4. There are other branches than just the Army in CAG.

    What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

    Paul Howe posts on another site I frequent. This article was posted and he did step in to clear up the confusion. Not to put words in his mouth, but his response in essence is that the media makes mistakes from time to time. His daughter is Air Force and will be serving on a C 130 gunship. She did not qualify as Delta, special ops, etc.

    Either way, that is a hell of a family.

    That is why I said it was an unclassified name. There are more current names however they are nor for public use. 1st SFOD is a common reference to that organization although it encompasses several other units. They are getting away from the old conventions of DELTA and becoming more broad in scope and more discreet. I'll leave it at that...
