Delta Force: The Elite Unit That Apprehended Maduro

The President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, was arrested by members of the Delta Force, the elite special operations unit of the US military, according to CBS. The news followed a post by US President Donald Trump. The Delta Force is known for counter-terrorism and hostage-rescue operations, and gained widespread recognition for the operation that led to the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. The unit falls under the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and was founded in 1977. It recruits personnel from various US military units with strict requirements.
