原文:
At the center of the US operation that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife was an elite and secretive special operations group, per multiple reports.
Delta Force, officially known as the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D), is tasked with capturing and eliminating high-value targets. Like other tier-one special mission units, such as SEAL Team 6, Delta Force tackles some of the US Army's most covert and complex tasks.
Operators train for rapid infiltration and exfiltration, intense close-quarters combat, precision marksmanship, demolition, hostage rescue, and more. Unlike some other units, Delta pulls the best warfighters it can from across the US armed forces, though it mainly draws from Army special operations forces. Known as "quiet professionals," Delta Force operators generally do not speak openly about their activities.
中譯:
多方媒體報導指出,美國此次成功抓捕委內瑞拉總統馬杜洛及其妻子,行動核心是一支精銳且高度保密的特種作戰部隊。
該部隊為三角洲部隊,正式名稱為「第1特種部隊作戰分遣隊─三角洲」,任務是抓捕或殲滅高價值目標。與海軍海豹6隊等其他第一級特種任務單位類似,三角洲部隊負責執行美國陸軍最隱密、最複雜的行動。
三角洲部隊成員接受快速滲透與撤離、近距離戰鬥、精準射擊、爆破、人質救援等高強度訓練。與部分其他單位不同,三角洲部隊從全美軍各軍種中挑選最優秀的戰士,儘管主要來源仍是陸軍特種作戰部隊。該單位成員素有「無聲的專業人士」之稱,通常不對外談論其行動。
