I was attached to Tier Two through JSOC it was pretty badass time. I was USAF DAGRE for 10 years. It was extremely rare we would ever see a Tier One or be with them.
I agree man. Considering the fact that ISA pulls predominantly from CAG, DEVGRU, and RRC. They are spooky as shit and that would be a dream to get to that operational level. Props to people who have made it there.
Great video, currently serving as a sapper in the Australian Defence Force and theres definitely a big difference in terms of the amount of specialised units. Especially when it comes to the rank structure, always a laugh to see our US Army counterparts react to a LCPL leading a fireteam primarily or a section in the absence of a CPL! Though I think the US Marines would be similar in respect to NCO responsibilities.
I knew most of this as a Navy vet (no, not a Seal) and had friends from high school who went Army SF and Seals during Desert Storm era (yes I am old). But I would love to see something about the difference/history of MARSOC and Recon. Great channel! 👍 PS - Nikko, love the short videos, the one you did of Active vs Vets reacting to you videos, as an old Vet - 100% accurate 🤣🤣🤣 keep it up!
The only unit that I didn't really know about was the ISA, and I was hyped for seeing 160th SOAR/Night Stalkers in tier two, those guys are the sort of pilots that I'd trust to fly through a tropical rainforest and not break a sweat.
I was surprised AF to see anything about ISA. I ran into some of those guys in Hondo back in the 80s and was briefed by the CO not to even look at them too long.
It really makes me happy that you talk about support in a very proficient way. It really makes sense for the civilians to delineate that stuff for them bro. Keep up the good work
Much love from Latvia! Hopefully your channel blows up and make people smile! I enjoy all your Videos and can't wait for Latvian Special forces (Brave Man wins). Thanks for your service.
Basically, every tier has their mission. Every team has their specific training for said mission. All are great at THEIR mission specifics. Also people will talk shit on airforce, NO ONE talks shit on PJ's.
How about a video exploring the difference between USMC Reconnaissance and Force Reconnaissance; the former are battalion sized elements while the latter are companies, one per division when I was in back in the 80s
1990's I received "THE LETTER", sadly I knew I was already not eligible even for assessment since I wore glasses. I still had to go to the recruiting session though since I was a team leader and was suppose to help identify potential SF/Ranger candidates. I wish laser eye surgery was acceptable back in the day.
Hi guys future writer here, as someone who is doing research into our nation military forces I appreciate this very informative video and channel. Thank you your service as well much respect
Nikko! Thanks for the informative video! I wasn't surprised about the Seals... But I was about where PJs are! Everyone has such important roles within the military unit! Love the content!!!
Not me at work chillin in stream…then jumping right over to the YT after showing some love to my fav streamer we’ve raided all while my boss sits behind me 🤷🏼♀️😂 Nikko videos are priorities, esp the ones like this with the learning moments 💯🔥
Love to see PJs getting some love. They go to ALL the teir 2 schools as well as extensive medical training. Plus it just takes hella balls to ride a helicopter into a combat zone that is already giving other shootier special forces problems day after day.
Really Enjoy these collab videos and breakign down the world of Special Operations. Didn't know you were in MI @Nikko. Would love to see a video speaking on SOT-A / SOT-B selection process and what those types of units do within the SOF community. I was a 35N myself and really enjoyed it.
Glad to see Isa getting some love it doesn't happen much. They were called Kia's on base and it took me forever to realize it was a abbreviation for know it alls.
I think it's worth mentioning that 99.9% of people think that Special Forces refers to all of tiers 1 & 2, if not all 3. Most people don't know it's specifically the "green berets", and that SOCOM and JSOC has a lot of different units - Special Forces is just one particular one. Special forces is not a generic term, at least in the US military.
I was in DEP for the Navy after looking at getting contracted for BUD/S after basic, I’d love it if you’d go in depth on some of the other tier 2 units, especially the PJ’s since they get my attention when I hear stories about em. Would love to look at my options and hear more about them from a good source like you since I’m not locked down yet
There’s literally a guy who was a navy hard hat diver who made it to Delta. Exceedingly rare, but they literally can take anyone who meets the pre requisites.
My niece's boyfriend has tried to explain to me time and time again how the tier system works, but his brain is still trying to figure out how to explain how he's attached to a CBRN unit lol. This definitely broke it down in a less scatter brained way that was easier to understand
I know that the tier system speaks largely about the operations that the units support but Marine Recon being put in with airborne is a little disappointing, recon was what they pulled from to form the raiders they're a pretty tough group
Great content brothers. New subscriber here. I was US Army LRSD. Many people thought we were SOF. Though we lived by the Ranger Creed, we were tier 3 like everyone else. Sure we got better toys like swim gear, zodiacs and toggles on our chutes…we were still tier 3. RLTW! AATW!
@@nikkoortiz is there a more personal way to contact you, I have a few questions about the military because I'm planning on enlisting soon but I would trust talking to you more than a recruiter telling me what I want to hear
The navy SWCC. I think they have some of the meanest river boats that need looked at. The few videos I seen make it look like they don't play around. Damn it, I need to go to bed and now I am going down a YT rabbit hole.
I just found your channel and you're a riot to watch! You should do a reaction to paranormal videos. Also, a short on the branches preparing a Thanksgiving meal. 😜 As a civilian, let me see if I got this straight: Tier 3: The dudes and dudettes that kill people and break stuff with their support staff. AKA THE Military. Tier 2: Specialized dudes that kill or capture or rescue or break stuff behind enemy lines with better equipment and training. Tier 1: Very specialized dudes that kill or capture or rescue or steal or break stuff right under enemy noses with the best equipment and training. In the case of ISA, the scary monster in a target's closet. I'll see myself out now...
I say the Army Special Forces is the most vital unit on this list. Not only are they capable in combat operations, but their best skill is integrating and advising foreign infantry units/rebels in unconventional warfare. That’s why Ukraines military is so lethal in the conflict with Russia. They were trained by the Special Forces since 2015. You can see their training coming in handy.
I was in the 82nd 87-90 and didn't know we were even a tier. I did think that SF and Seals were their 1, and Delta was just higher. Great video and love your content.
Oh, and within that there were very interesting delineations … in 85-86 I was in a cavalry regiment in West Germany (11 ACR) and we had a readiness level as high as the SF groups
@@ecowper every 12 weeks We we’re on a 6 week readiness RDF Anywhere in the world in under 18 hours and fight for three days and un-support that was our mission that the 82nd still has the same mission as I understand they just call it some different combat readiness teams
I know when I was in force recon worked with Delta force as much as rangers did. Also apparently the list is changed after 10 years because there are a lot of organizations that have been moved around and apparently upgraded as well
Have you done a short on the different Chow Halls. Like the day I went to an Air Force chow hall as a Marine and saw that they had Pop-Tarts it blew my mind
In the intro Nikko pissed off so many law enforcement SWAT officers When I first watch the video I didn’t know about night stalkers and RRC, also on top of that I knew that Navy SEALS are tier 2 and SEAL team 6 are tier one, because I knew that team six was supposed to confuse the Russians thinking that they were “six” SEALS
I think seeing a video on ISA would be awesome. As well as other things intel can do like the DIA, Great Skills Program, SOT-A, and others that maybe other branches offer. Due to my lazy eye I’ll never be an operator and hopefully I’ll get my citizenship one day to be able to serve my country.
My cousin was in the army his whole life went in out of highschool cause he got in trouble and stayed till they made him retire he climbed all the way up the ranks to Sgt Major and still too this day he's 75 been retired for years I always see him get respect from vets and active servicemen even more so then higher ranking officers I asked him why and he said basically it's cause Sgt Major is earned on the field and Lt and above is earned in a class room. I don't know how true it is but from what I see it must have some truth to it.
Thank you nikko for the great info. You guys made it interesting. Made it very easy to understand. Me coming from a military family made it super easy. Keep up the great work bro.
In the 82nd we were placed with Special Operations Units like Marsoc, Rangers, and ODA all the time. When we went to Iraq in 2006 we were placed directly with task force red, lived in the compound with them. It was described as a OCFI deployment. It was just a three month deployment. We we were attached to MARSOC, that was a 7 month deployment.
Hey, any chance you guys could have like a “podcast” with another country special forces? (Australian, British, French, Canadian etc) Would be great insight and difference obviously if you guys have any friends that would be willing to speak
My Ranger Battalion was definitely tier 2 back in 03-06. I thought that 160th was tier 1. Also the 69th infantry ,a NYANG unit that kicked some serious ass in Iraq. There is a PJ unit about 30 miles from where I live. Those are some hard-core dudes. Delta is def the top shit in the military. Those guys really fucking get after it in a whole different way
DIA has their own super-shooters as part of their operational apparatuses. NEST teams are on par with CAG though most if not all of their shooters have PHDs in nuclear physics, EOD and Nuclear Engineering degrees
Regarding SWCC - as The Fat Electrician so succinctly put it, do you know how fucking badass you need to be to be called the 'Boat Guys' in the fucking Navy? and USAF PJs are real life battlefield Angels
Delta force I think is definitely the tip of the spear. I have had many family members serve in the unit and I have a uncle who just made it after spending time on an oda for a longtime. And he’s a fucking badass dude, like a rock hard dude. Complete badass and he’s literally a beast like everyone else.
@@nikkoortiz Yessir! My plan is to try to make it into the unit as well. I just swore in I’m going infantrymen11x with an option 40 contract. I can’t wait!
DJ Shipley was born and raised for tier 1 . His dad Don raised him in the seal teams and joined the navy at 17 and graduated seal training at 19 and deployed immediately. Didn’t take him long to end up in DEVGRU. Of course this isn’t the norm but the exception . Really should watch his episode on the Shawn Ryan podcast. Holy shit this dude is incredible
Delta is NOT a "component of special forces that is tier 1"... literally. They don't report to 1st special forces group like green berets... you are wrong on how you said it, smh.
you KNOW you have to put most of my words together lol and they do not report to SF but they ARE listed as 1st special forces operational detachment delta. Aleast the paperwork and meetings are designated as so
When the Raiders stood up in ‘06, they took guys from Recon/Force communities and put them through a variation of the SF Q-Course because the Army was whining. The course still resembles it (along with A&S) but with Marine flair. Those of us that were “Special Operations-Capable” back before there was a MARSOC just say that “we were MARSOC before there was MARSOC”…Semper Fi. Great videos BTW, keep us supplied with crayons and there’s NOTHING we won’t do!
I really hate the teem tier 3 because it’s really vague and harder to define Really only tier 1 and 2 actually matter as their a great way to group the actual SOF dudes Tier 2 can be anything form entry level SF Operators to hardened Rangers, seals and PJ’s While tier 1 are the (Constantly defined by this phrase, by literally everybody) crème de la crème DEVGRU, RRC, Air forces little mixed group, CIA official tier 1 guys And “Delta Bois” They even have some CIA Guys that aren’t “Officially” listed as tier 1 But come the fuck on We both know the CIA doesn’t recruit tier 1/2 veterans guys to run the coffee machines They recruit them to run the printers Think rationally man!
love your videos bro. i have to say i think space force the netflix series kinda stole your vibe in the opening scene in episode one. but if i had to say anything to improve i would say not much just maybe better editing and post more often and also play games more and i think if you played arma 3 online with some people you could slay it on youtube and twitch people would love to see you play arma and watch a real army dude play a warfare sim with funny and awesome pacing! keep it up ill always be watching!
I get a certain itch listening to both of these two pups break down critical tiers and discuss this stuff with certainty. Neither if them are any of these "tier" quals. Like at all
I was attached to Tier Two through JSOC it was pretty badass time. I was USAF DAGRE for 10 years. It was extremely rare we would ever see a Tier One or be with them.
JSOC be doin the hot hot
@@nikkoortiz damn right brother great videos.
I worked on the Talon’s that supported JSOC saw Tier One a few times plus various other nations special forces units.
you were attached to tier two through jsoc? what are you talking about dude
@@barrettrichardson1406 They are a joint unit...
I would argue that the ISA is like the tippy-tippy-top of the Tier 1's due to the nature of their clan ops and how fuckin' spooky they are.
AGREED
There's probably other sneaky beaky units that we haven't heard of doing similar shit
I agree man. Considering the fact that ISA pulls predominantly from CAG, DEVGRU, and RRC. They are spooky as shit and that would be a dream to get to that operational level. Props to people who have made it there.
The CIA has two groups spooked out more than them.
They're ready to fight Thanos.

Didn’t take him long to end up in DEVGRU. Of course this isn’t the norm but the exception . Really should watch his episode on the Shawn Ryan podcast. Holy shit this dude is incredible
He's tall and buff as hell
Don't know how I came across this channel but it's all I've been watching for the last 3 days. Good shit keep it up!
I apprecate you shawn hope you enjoy!!!
SWCC is Tier 2? I’m retired Navy and this surprised me. I just thought the drove the SEALs around.
yall should try to get foreign vets on to compare the breakdown in units and tears
Delta is NOT a "component of special forces that is tier 1"... literally. They don't report to 1st special forces group like green berets... you are wrong on how you said it, smh.
you KNOW you have to put most of my words together lol and they do not report to SF but they ARE listed as 1st special forces operational detachment delta. Aleast the paperwork and meetings are designated as so
Love the video! Would love for y’all to dive deeper into the PJs! Such a unique group with wide skill set. Thanks!
I wanna bring some of my PJ buddies on to talk!!
What does PJ stand for?
@@nanpabasico9932 Pararescuemen
@@OdinsVikingr thank you!
PJs don't see action
Im actually surprised that the seals are Tier 2?!!????
Yuuuuuup see all the facts!
@@nikkoortiz ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for all the laughs on the bus to Ft Benning can’t wait to see all the videos when I’m done!!
25th ID is the Army’s “show girls” of the US Army! Ya I said it!
Oh snap!!!
Nikko make a video about your time and service what you did and what you got out as. The people are interested.
We have covered all this! Lol
When the Raiders stood up in ‘06, they took guys from Recon/Force communities and put them through a variation of the SF Q-Course because the Army was whining. The course still resembles it (along with A&S) but with Marine flair. Those of us that were “Special Operations-Capable” back before there was a MARSOC just say that “we were MARSOC before there was MARSOC”…Semper Fi. Great videos BTW, keep us supplied with crayons and there’s NOTHING we won’t do!
In the 2000's they had tried to change SFOD-D (special forces operational detatchment - Delta) to CAG (close actions group).
I really hate the teem tier 3 because it’s really vague and harder to define
Really only tier 1 and 2 actually matter as their a great way to group the actual SOF dudes
Tier 2 can be anything form entry level SF Operators to hardened Rangers, seals and PJ’s
While tier 1 are the (Constantly defined by this phrase, by literally everybody) crème de la crème
DEVGRU, RRC, Air forces little mixed group, CIA official tier 1 guys And “Delta Bois”
They even have some CIA Guys that aren’t “Officially” listed as tier 1
But come the fuck on
We both know the CIA doesn’t recruit tier 1/2 veterans guys to run the coffee machines
They recruit them to run the printers
Think rationally man!
Yeah there mission has a more direct outline and we just fill in the blank
I hope you two can do a world special forces video together. You both are great TH-camrs and I really like watching your videos
could you react to the military freefall school by coffee or die on yt?
Yup ill check it out!!!!
Dude theo is that guy. Love the collab
DADDY
MOMMY!!
82nd here and honestly I’m happy with my service 2005-2011
love your videos bro. i have to say i think space force the netflix series kinda stole your vibe in the opening scene in episode one. but if i had to say anything to improve i would say not much just maybe better editing and post more often and also play games more and i think if you played arma 3 online with some people you could slay it on youtube and twitch people would love to see you play arma and watch a real army dude play a warfare sim with funny and awesome pacing! keep it up ill always be watching!
I get a certain itch listening to both of these two pups break down critical tiers and discuss this stuff with certainty. Neither if them are any of these "tier" quals. Like at all
You absolutely took me to school on the difference between tier one and tier 2
Not all PJs are SOCOM. Those in rescue squadrons are considered conventional forces.
yo whatttt
As a civilian....thanks for the information. This is very interesting.
Nikko, please add Merchant Marines in your skits please. If you add JROTC you can add them!
In the Tier 1 category the badge on the right looks like a Scottish crest, the sword that is displayed on the right is a Scottish broadsword.
Just a recommendation. I think a reaction video on Canadian special operations units would do well.
I see how much younger troop in all branches are better informed. The military grows and adapts . Obviously. Now
