The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (also known as "Combat Application Group" and "Delta"), initially formed in the late 20th century and re-formed again in 689 AS, is a Special Operations Forces division made up from the most distinguished and skilled personnel from all of Liberty's military branches. Highly trained and efficient and equipped with state-of-the-art weaponry, Delta operators conduct various asymmetric warfare operations in order to enforce Libertonian interests, on the ground as well as in space. Delta only formally belongs to the Liberty Army; they only answer to LSOCOM, the Department of Defense and the President himself, and are given a degree of freedom in their operations unthinkable of in any other unit.

Objectives

The 1st's objectives include, but are not limited to, counterterrorism operations against both foreign and domestic groups, dealing with hostage situations, protecting high-level VIPs, forward reconnaissance, raids, and surgical strikes, and they are also known to be among the first units on the ground during a planetary assault. What they are not is a police force. Low-level piracy and smuggling are not among Delta's concerns.

Ranks

The 1st does not directly recruit civilians into their ranks. All 1st operators have served in the Liberty Army (or, in some exceptional cases, the Navy) and reached at least the rank of Sergeant or First Lieutenant (Second Lieutenants serving in the 1st are exclusively former enlisted soldiers who attended officer school).

Non-commissioned officers

NCOs are specialized officers while commissioned officers are generalized officers. In the 1st, NCOs usually do the grunt work as well as tactical planning (to some degree), while commissioned officers do both strategical and tactical planning.

• E-5 Sergeant (Fireteam member)
• E-6 Staff Sergeant (Fireteam member or junior squad leader, in charge of special administrative tasks)
• E-7 Sergeant First Class (Fireteam or junior squad leader)
• WO-1 Warrant Officer (Fireteam leader of junior squad leader)
• CWO-* Chief Warrant Officer (From CWO-1 - squad leader to CWO-5 - Executive Officer)

Commissioned officers

Generalized officers. They have attended West Point Academy or Officer school.

• O-1 Second Lieutenant (Squad or fireteam leader)
• O-2 First Lieutenant (Squad leader or Junior Platoon Leader)
• O-3 Captain (Platoon leader)
• O-4 Major (Platoon/Company leader)
• O-5 Lieutenant Colonel (Battalion leader)

Characters ranking Colonel and above usually won't do field operations and thus will mainly act as characters in 1st-related RP stories. Some may play the role of a warship commander however during special ingame events.

Recruitment

Currently, the 1st is officially recruiting, and is looking for players with following abilities:

• Above-than-average roleplaying skills in any situation
• Willingness to learn our terminology, chain of command, rules of engagement etc
• Willingness to be a good teamplayer with a sense of fair play
• Knowing and obeying the server rules

What does not matter to us:
