Ok so I was curious as to what a modern day delta force operative loadout looks like, I know the old (93) had alice gear and actually read the book Delta Force from back in the 80's but as of today what are they wearing ? I was hoping one one you hellfish guys could help me out you guys seem to have a lot of insight into loadouts and what not. Thanks

Delta Force is now known as Combat Application Group, or CAG. Not a whole lot is really known about them, but some pictures do exist. Typical BDUs are DCU but Multicam and AOR2 has been seen. They do use Crye Combats in DCU, Multicam and AOR2 on top of regular brands. Woodland has been seen in US training ops, wouldn't be surprised if they use it overseas as well. They seem to primarily use Paraclete gear in Smoke Green. RAVs, HPCs and FLCs seem to be particularly common. Typical sidearm seems to be some type of 1911. Rifles can be M4s with an MRE, HK416 or MK18. Helmets are pretty much anything from the MICH series, 2002 seems to be common. For NVGs you'd want some ANVIS 6 replicas with mount and LPBP. Peltor Comtac Is and Sordins have been seen in use with TEA PTTs. Petzl Headlamps, VIP IR Strobes, Bolle goggles with straps cut and attached to helmet via velcro, Surefire Helmet Lights, Eotech 551s, AN/PEQ2s are all worthwhile accessories. Bladetech and Safariland holsters have been seen in use as well. Alta Kneepads in black work as well. Riggers belt with retention lanyard would be fine. MBITRs seem to have the normal rather than whip antenna as well. There really isn't a ton of source info on them, but that should be a good enough start.
You mentioned SF in the thread title, and that's another ball game and I'll type up some shit if you're interested.

BASICALLY what he is trying to say is a CAG loadout will be hardcore expensive.
SF, you are going to have a lot more leeway. For example, and I am just throwing out names here, Kiki or Roughneck or Thor can say they have a SF loadout, I can say I have an SF loadout, and any CAG Mia member can say he/she has an SF loadout.
There really is no set structure they adhere to except they almost always have a primary weapon, a reputable PC or chest rig (not a black crossdraw vest) and have a sidearm of some sort. look on militaryphotos.net and start from there. My suggestion is get the basics down and then start working on the finer details.
I don't go on many other forums but I will throw this out there and say Mia has the most numeric amount of players that devote to looking the part. Look in the gallery on here too for ideas and the commerce section and you may find something.
Edit: in terms of numeric amount I mean midwestern region.

I'm not too worried about price I have a job and I don't have to get everything he listed; I'm really just looking for a solid starting point for a offical DF loadout rather then just throwing stuff togetheer and saying I look like a regular Charlie Beckwich (I think I spelled his name right haha)

... Mia has the most numeric amount of players that devote to looking the part... [in the] midwestern region. Quite true, coming from your neighbor to the south... Looking on your boards, I see a lot more guys geared out compared to Ohio. |

That's a good thread for SOF pictures, but it's too broad. That covers every group under SOCOM, not just CAG or Army SF. It would be very hard to pick out the specific photos you'd be looking for in that entire thread.

I know, that's as close as I could get. It's a good starting point though, because there's a few that have a caption under them that will tell you if it's SF, CAG, etc.
