DELTA TEAM
TEAM DELTA
 

TEAM DELTA is the Joe Team Operational Detachment deployed for direct action missions in desert environments. This unit has advanced training in desert warfare and survival; experts in the effects of sand and heat on personnel and materiel,  combat tracking, counter improvised explosive device tactics, and night land navigation. This detachment has knowledge/skills required to successfully conduct small unit operations in typical desert terrain without the support of a forward operating base or company outposts.  TEAM DELTA unit members are graduates of the Desert Warrior Course at the Desert Warfare School in Fort Bliss, Texas.

 

For long reconnaissance and deep strike missions,  TEAM DELTA typically employs specially-equipped Desert Patrol Vehicles (DPV), namely the 4WD AWE  (All-Weather & Environment) STRIKER outfitted with a 10-round 70mm gun and the 20mm Gatling gun-armed FOE  (Forward Observer Encampment) STRIKER.  Corporal Cyril Colombani (code name SKIDMARK) of the G.I. Joe BCT (Brigade Combat Team) drives the anti-aircraft-equipped 6WD DESERT FOX DPV during  most direct action missions.
