You may be looking for Delta Team, the CTU Los Angeles individual TAC Team.

The 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment, or Delta Force, is the United States Army's primary Counter-Terrorism unit.

Before Day 1 Edit

Jack Bauer was a Delta Force captain prior to the events of Day 1, gaining significant amounts of his combat and interrogation expertise from his Delta Force training. He led Delta Force teams into various foreign nations to execute classified missions, of which include Operation Nightfall in Kosovo, Operation Collegiate in Belgrade, Operation Downtown in Pristina, Operation Lost Paradise in Chechnya, and Operation Closed Coffin.

However, these "dark" missions conducted by Delta Force were significant instigators of troubles against Jack Bauer and the United States. The events of Day 1 stemmed from a failure in Operation Nightfall, and the events of Day 3 also came from Operation Nightfall from a case of leaving an operative behind.

Day 3 Edit

Concerned about the threat of a major biological attack on U.S. Soil on Day 3, Delta Force teams were dispatched to Northern Mexico to help rescue the captured Chase Edmunds secure the Cordilla Virus.

Delta's primary objective was the capture of the Cordilla Virus before it could be used against the general population of the United States. The Delta Force teams were ordered to stay out of sight so their presence wouldn't arouse any suspicion and observed Michael Amador. When Chase Edmunds escaped from the Salazar compound, he convinced Captain Reiss to be the scout to signal the Delta Force teams when he has confirmation of the virus. Chase located the virus, and ordered Delta in. The teams moved into a mine and neutralized many of Ramon Salazar's men with the aid of Humvees and Little Bird helicopters. The operators then joined Chase.

Jack pursued Ramon, and caught up to him. Jack and Delta surrounded him, but the vial exploded: it was a bomb, remotely triggered by Amador. Jack and Chase realized that they were deceived, but another Delta Force team cornered Amador. When Captain Reiss and Delta-3 attempted to arrest Amador, they were wiped by Amador's team of hidden marksmen. Amador escaped with the real Cordilla virus. Jack and Chase led Delta Force in a successful hunt for Nina Myers. Delta escorted them to an airstrip, and Capt. Mike Murphy told them the Navy rerouted an airplane to pick them up. The remaining Delta Force operators returned via airplane with Jack, Chase, and Nina Myers to Point Mugu Naval Air Station. Tony Almeida then ordered the plane rerouted, but Jack threatened to kill the pilot if he didn't land because Nina temporarily gained leverage. When Nina's advantage was foiled, Jack backed off, and they landed at the air base.
