Task Force Delta

Task Force Delta is a designation used by the United States military for various provisional units formed to accomplish specific missions. One notable iteration was established during the Vietnam War as a composite Marine Corps task force, orchestrated to conduct search-and-destroy operations and reinforce besieged outposts in the I Corps Tactical Zone. Task Force Delta often comprised infantry, artillery, and armored units, allowing for rapid deployment and flexible response to enemy activity. Over the years, the name has been applied to other ad hoc joint or combined forces in different theaters, exemplifying the U.S. military’s adaptability and emphasis on mission-focused organization.
