According tothis article (used on theDelta Force page, so I know it's considered reputable), the DEVGRU name is no longer used, but the new name hasn't been disclosed. We obviously still need a name to refer to the unit here on Wikipedia, so "DEVGRU" isn't going anywhere for this page's use, but this info should be worked into it. Where would be best, though?Spartan198 (talk)11:50, 16 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Spartan198DevGru, or the former SEAL Team Six, within the halls of JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) at McDill AFB is simply referred to as "Task Force Blue". Delta, or formerly "CAG" as of 2010 I believe is referred to as Task Force Green. Unknown what the other Tier 1 or Tier 2 or Tier 3 units within JSOC, such as 75th Ranger, MARSOC Recon and Force Recon, Army's 160th S.O.A.R. (Nightstalkers), or the USAF's 24th Special Tactics Squadron are refered to as, or if they have undergone name changes. also of note. it is not uncommon for these "Secret" Level tier 1 units to simply be referred to a Constantly changing Number/Letter designator, within D.O.D. not unlike what a Navy Aircraft Squadron,'s identifier is such as VFA-102 (Super Hornet Fighter Attack Squadron) or HS-11, A Navy SH-60 Seahawk Helicopter Squadron. a good example of this policy was the Navy's "Red Cell" unit in the 80's started by Richard Marchinko, Founder of DevGru. in the 80's, Red Cells designator was OP-06D.

not sure if this info helps any or not.Spec4DocTeam2 (talk)08:22, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Just one sentence mentioning Operation Neptune Spear when that is likely why most people search for Seal Team 6? Grace and peace thru the Lord Jesus (talk)22:07, 21 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Readers come to this page for more than just that single operation. That said, "Neptune Spear" is mentioned twice, in the infobox and again in the article body. Both instances are linked to the article about the killing of Osama bin Laden, therefore peopleare directed to more information. So, not really sure what you're looking for here. -wolf01:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The paragraph (Baby Doc was the last straw) begins with a statement about operational scope change since the War on Terror, which started in 2001, ten years after the 1991 rescue. Recommend minor edit.

“Since the start of war on terror, DEVGRU has evolved into a multi-functional special operations unit with a worldwide operational mandate. Such operations include the successful rescue of Jessica Buchanan and Poul Hagen Thisted, the attempted rescue of Linda Norgrove, the successful rescue of American doctor Dilip Joseph[61] and in 1991, the successful recovery of Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his family during a coup that deposed him.”Misterniceguii (talk)01:20, 29 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay so in the edit part it said all of the text was under that big list so in my brief description that's all accidental lies in my last edit i left everything alone and only changed unofficially to publically after I saved my changes that paragraph went above the listDigggy (talk)20:16, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, your edit that was undone[1] removed a significant portion of content.Meters (talk)21:38, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And now I've undone the remaining bit. The original "unofficially known asSeal Team 6" is a better word choice that "publically known asSeal Team 6".Meters (talk)21:44, 15 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the first two paragraphs several times and I still have absolutely no idea how/where this organization fits into the overall organization of the U.S. armed forces... So I'm moved to ask whether:

1. Is it actually important to the typical reader that SEAL Team Six is "the United States Navy component of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC)" and "is administratively supported by Naval Special Warfare Command and operationally commanded by JSOC"? Isthis the primary reason readers are on the page, to suss out the chain of command? If so, should there be an org chart? (Really not trying to be a smartass here.)

2. If my suspicions are correct andnobody really cares about the unit's place in the bureaucratic labyrinth, advise moving this administrivia way lower down the article? Maybe something like "Command structure" or similar?

(I'm proposing rather than editing because I don't feel qualified to make this judgment call.)Georgevtucker (talk)01:40, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, here's an example of what I'm talking about -- 2nd paragraph first sentence is:

"DEVGRU (along with its Army and Air Force counterparts, Delta Force, Intelligence Support Activity, the 75th Ranger Regiment's Regimental Reconnaissance Company and 24th Special Tactics Squadron), are the U.S. military's primary Tier 1 special mission units tasked with performing the most complex, classified, and dangerous missions directed by, until 2002, the National Command Authority, and since then, directly from the president or the secretary of defense."

That's just way too much information packed into a single sentence! Isn't it?Georgevtucker (talk)01:47, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
