Key military and government figures had already been briefed on a model for this type of unit in the early 1960s. Charles Beckwith, a Special Forces officer and Vietnam veteran, had served as an exchange officer with the British Army's Special Air Service (22 SAS Regiment) during the Malayan Emergency. Upon his return, Beckwith presented a detailed report highlighting the U.S. Army's vulnerability in not having an SAS-type unit. U.S. Army Special Forces in that period focused on unconventional warfare, but Beckwith recognized the need for "not only teachers, but doers." He envisioned highly adaptable and completely autonomous small teams with a broad array of special skills for direct action and counter-terrorist missions. He briefed military and government figures, who were overtly resistant to create a new unit outside of Special Forces, or change existing methods. Finally, in the mid-70's, as the threat of terrorism grew, Pentagon brass tapped Beckwith to form the unit.
Beckwith had estimated that it would take 24 months to get his new unit mission-ready. In the meantime, the 5th Special Forces Group created Blue Light, a small counter-terrorist contingent which operated until Delta became fully operational in the early 1980s.
On 4 November 1979, shortly after Delta had been created, 53 Americans were taken captive and held in the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran. The unit was assigned to Operation Eagle Claw and ordered to covertly enter the country and recover the hostages from the embassy by force on the nights of 24 and 25 April in 1980. The operation was aborted after aviation failures. The review commission that examined the failure found 23 problems with the operation, among them unbriefed weather encountered by the aircraft, command-and-control problems between the multi-service component commanders, a collision between a helicopter and a ground-refueling tanker aircraft, and mechanical problems that reduced the number of available helicopters from eight to five (one fewer than the minimum desired) before the mission contingent could leave the transloading/refueling site.
After the failed operation, the U.S. government created several new units. The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne), also known as the Nightstalkers, was created specifically for Delta infil/exfil in missions like Operation Eagle Claw. The Navy's SEAL Team Six was created for maritime incidents. The Joint Special Operations Command was created to control and oversee joint training between the counter-terrorist assets of the various branches of the U.S. military.

How to quickly complete Mogadishu Mile:
When you start the mission, run up to the first HUMVEE in the convoy and jump on the hood. Now stay on the hood, after about 30 sec. the convoy will begin to move. Stay on it and protect the convoy (I suggest using a machine gun of some kind for faster firing and more rounds) you will see bad guys to your right and then to your left (The guys with the AK-47’s aren’t a big problem if you’re using a trainer) You are going to want to focus on the guys with the RPGs (Two shots from a RPG will blow up the HUMVEE and thus failing the mission). They are very hard to spot and even though I have beaten the game 3 times, I still can’t spot them right away, most of them will be in groups of guys with AKs. After about two minutes of chaos the convoy will speed up (your team will be able to keep up with you, but they will soon catch up with you). Once the convoy stops just outside the stadium, take out any enemy forces you see, then wait about 2-3 mins (For some reason it is always different, sometimes it will be 1 min, and other times it will be 5). Then guide the convoy to the stadium. Once you’ve reached the last waypoint you will complete the mission. Doing this will complete the mission faster and easier.
