Army Rangers usually take down and secure airports.

Army Rangers:

Usually operate in groups in excess of 20. Used primarily for large scale high profile operations.

Army Green Berets:

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 15. Used primarily for covert operations overseas in areas not accessible by traditional means.

Army Delta Force:

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 15. Used primarily for counter-terrorism and hostage situations.

Marine Force Recon:

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 20. Used primarily for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering missions.

Navy SEALs

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 20. Used for maritime missions and other situations, depending on the unit.


Navy EOD

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 6. Used to disarm and dismantle explosives, and plant and set explosives.

Navy Divers

Usually operate in groups of 2. Used to conduct salvaging operations, recoveries, and mining/de-mining operations.


Air Force CC's

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 6. Used to direct air traffic in combat zones and conduct recon.

Air Force PJ's

Usually operate in groups in excess of 2 but no larger than 6. Used to rescue downed pilots and on occasion, POW's.

That about sums it up for the military, although there are a few specialized units I did not mention. It depends on the mission situation. If a particular situation fits one group better than another, then they go in. That's pretty much how it's done. It's the same way with civilians.

Whoa, so not what I was asking. Geez, the question is pretty clear!

I was not talking about special operations in general, I was talking about SPECIALIZED U.S. counter/anti-terrorist forces. When would each of the U.S. counter/anti-terrorist forces be used?
