"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. Citing officials, outlets like The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal reported that Delta Force, alongside law enforcement personnel, carried out the extraction of Maduro as part of Operation Absolute Resolve, a surprise nighttime raid of the Venezuelan leader's compound in Caracas."
"In discussions of the complex operation, President Donald Trump said only that it was executed by "the most highly trained soldiers in the world," adding that "there's nobody that has their talent." The president may have been speaking about all of the personnel involved. US officials said that the operation to grab Maduro included land, air, sea, space, cyber, and intelligence forces. But Trump's language could easily apply to Delta Force, a top-tier special operations unit."
An elite US special operations unit conducted a covert nighttime raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Delta Force, officially 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D), is reported to have led the extraction alongside law enforcement as part of Operation Absolute Resolve. The operation involved land, air, sea, space, cyber, and intelligence components. Delta Force specializes in capturing or eliminating high-value targets and conducts covert, complex missions similar to SEAL Team 6. The unit was founded by Col. Charlie Beckwith in the 1970s and is headquartered at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
