'''DELTA''', short for ''Département d'Elite-Tirailleuers d'Armée'' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] for "Department of Elite Skirmishers of the Army"), is an elite tier one special operations force of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] under the [[Special Operations Command (Yonderre)|Special Operations Command]]. First stood up in 1955 as a centralized unit specializing in deep reconnaissance, DELTA has since been ever expanding in size, tasking and responsibilities. DELTA is today tasked with performing the most complex, classified, and dangerous tasks and conducts various specialized missions such as counterterrorism, hostage rescue, special reconnaissance, and direct action (short-duration strikes or small-scale offensive actions), often against high-value targets. | '''DELTA''', short for '''''Département d'Elite-Tirailleuers d'Armée''''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burgoignesc]] for "Department of Elite Skirmishers of the Army"), is an elite tier one special operations force of the [[Yonderian Defence Force]] under the [[Special Operations Command (Yonderre)|Special Operations Command]].
