And here we are 8 years later, with Thomas Payne now holding the rank of Sergeant Major while also being a recipient of our nation's highest military honor. Hooah gentlemen
I think that the thing I admire the most about these USASOC Tier One guys is that most of them are not all big and bulky. They are built more like James Bond than a prime Arnold Schwarzenegger. They are regular looking guys; you would never think they were super- soldiers just by looking at them. That makes the unit more intriguing.
Bodybuilder types tend not to be able to endure starvation and or the impact of Airborne Operations, although you will find S.E.A.L.S. and Delta guys built like Tanks that can run through 3/4" drywall 🇺🇸🦇
Aaron Levy Yes those guys exist but the winner standing on the right in this video, Patrick Payne, is a Delta operator who just recently earned the Medal of Honor. That’s why I agree more with Adam Arif on this one.
@@adamarif8987 you are wrong.. delta is tier one strike force but you described tier 2 special forces aka green berets - their job is guerilla war, overthrow governments and cowork with locals... if you look for somebody whos job is to blend in, then you look for CIA operators and contractors who gather intel on the ground
Check the Best Ranger Websites for the list of teams 24-29: Ranger Regiment 30-35: Special Forces 36: CAG 37: 160th KIA CAG operators- Master Sgt. Robert M. Horrigan Master Sgt. Ivica Jerak Master Sgt. Master Sgt. Joseph J. Andres Jr Master Sgt. Michael McNulty Google those names they are all "assigned special operations command.
in Delta.. when there are certain instances when you are in uniform (BRC, Memorial Service/Funeral, award ceremony), the color of Beret that you wear will be the one that signifies where you came from before Delta. Payne was a batt boy previously, and Foutz came from an Airborne unit (82nd or 173rd).
Why you assume he comes from a airborne unit? Delta is an airborne unit so if a non-airborne soldiers gets selected he must go trough basic airborne school (and earns his maroon beret) before attending OTC.
...that would be false. Also by reg if a green beret (18 series guy) leaves SF and goes to being a 11B etc (back to regular units) they dont get to wear a green beret anymore...but they will forever get to wear a SF tab. Berets are mostly unit specific and do not follow you (pending your follow on unit).
Thanks for clearing that up mate. I was about to ask the question. They both have the Unit cap badge, but I had always thought they wore the black beret. Interesting. Fuck. I just realised how old the comment was. 7 years.
Not entirely true. You wear the beret you’re qualified to wear. If you come from a non airborne/Ranger/SF unit - so you wear a black beret - and you come to Delta, you wear the maroon beret cause delta is a airborne unit. That means you have to go trough basic airborne course (and MFF) before going to Delta
My great-nephew is now at Fort Benning and will soon begin RASP training. These men, like MOH Recipient Sgt. Payne, are the real HEROES of our country and I’m so very proud of Kyle for choosing to follow their example. May God bless ALL of our heroes, their families and the young men/women that have chosen to follow their lead. ❤️🇺🇸🙏🏼🙏🏼🇺🇸❤️
"United States Army Special Operations Command" is a very well-known name used by officials when referring to The Unit. You wouldn't generally expect a few young NCOs (especially a former ranger) to be part of the Command.
BEST RANGER was so new when I was in , I didn't think about it. I don't know why, or don't remember why I didn't compete. Lookin back I wish I would have!#RLTW!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sgt. Major Thomas Payne - "Medal of Honor" recipient Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler "On Me!" Thank you for your service and saving the life of over 70 people. God Bless The USA!!!
Found this video searching for Sgt Major Payne, who was recently placed in a recommendation for the MOH. Both men are Tier one Operators, you can tell by just looking at the patch on their left arms. Delta Force Symbol. Arrowhead with a dagger in the middle.
It's nice seeing these comments wondering if they are CAG or not, especially after Payne, one of the rangers in this video, has received a MOH for his action in a Delta raid against ISIS.
Wonder how much the already incredibly valued Colt 1911 increased in value? Wonder what the pair, the medal and the gun, would be worth? No doubt it should be near priceless!
Please share this video. This man just received the Medal of Honor for saving over 70 hostages, and killing over 25 to 30 Taliban. God bless you Major Payne. A gifted Colt911 !!!! Hell yea!
Sgt. Maj Payne, is now the Proud recipient of the Medal of Honor. He consistently displays impeccable character and Ranger fortitude!
He is a very humble man.
Super bad ass dude
And here we are 8 years later, with Thomas Payne now holding the rank of Sergeant Major while also being a recipient of our nation's highest military honor. Hooah gentlemen
I went to basic with Payne. Great guy, I am happy for his success!
Hey man, Im sure you already know but sergeant major Payne was just awarded the medal of honor
hes being awarded the medal of honor
Wow you went to basic with a guy who has how received the Medal of Honor
Are you even more happier now for him
Now he's a CMH recipient
Is this the same Payne that just won the Medal Of Honor?
He’s a true bad ass
yes
The Congressional Medal Of Honor is not "won", it is earned 🇺🇸🦅
mhm
*earned
Delta Force
You rang? 🇺🇸🦇
@SSasskicker They're in CAG except Payne was a Ranger (Ranger Scroll, Tan Beret) and Foutz was in the 82nd before attending CAG selection
Payne Has his red airborne patch now he’s in the unit

@@aaronlevy6054 in my opinion, delta should not bulky too much because their most mission is about recon and blending with locals

@@pekarr1 In Delta Training, Espionage and blending in your environment is another factor
Glad to see SGM Payne receiving the Medal of Honor 8 years later !
This video was randomly recommended to me, crazy to see how Payne now has the Medal of Honor. Respect
agreed but its still cool that most of the Tier One guys look like regular joe's
Yeah their not all muscular
8 years later he receives the Medal of Honor, god bless.

@@G4x5da the red beret he was wearing. shows he was in an airborne unit before. you only get an airborne tab if you complete airborne school.
As for the colored berets, when you get assigned to USASOC - you keep your beret, whether that be tan or maroon.

Also by reg if a green beret (18 series guy) leaves SF and goes to being a 11B etc (back to regular units) they dont get to wear a green beret anymore...but they will forever get to wear a SF tab.

@@SteveZ919 the only way you take a Green Beret from the head of a man who earned it is with a lot of guns 🇺🇸🦇

Awesome seeing this clip and then seeing 8 years later that now SGM Payne receives his Medal of Honor, thank you TH-cam! Awesome find
Who knew that he would end up with the Medal of Honor some 3 years later.... Truly an inspiring man.
Fast forward to 2020: Congratulations to SM Payne on being awarded the MOH.

After 8 years , he has the medal of Honor,congrats
I do believe Payne was just awarded the Medal of Honor for a raid in 2015 saving about 70 hostages with his team. If I remember correctly.
8 years later, on the 19th anniversary of 9/11, that young man would be awarded the Medal of Honor.
And now Sergeant Major Thomas Payne has been awarded the Medal of Honor on September 11th, 2020.
BEST RANGER was so new when I was in , I didn't think about it.
I don't know why, or don't remember why I didn't compete. Lookin back I wish I would have!#RLTW!🇺🇸🇺🇸
Payne (now a SGM) was awarded the Medal of Honor on 11 September 2020 for his actions in Iraq in 2015.
The way Payne moved up so fast to being awarded the medal of honor and being one of the best of the best in delta force is amazing.
both studs! Payne now has the MOH to add to his long list of accomplishments. Well done.
Sgt. Major Thomas Payne - "Medal of Honor" recipient Master Sgt. Joshua Wheeler "On Me!" Thank you for your service and saving the life of over 70 people. God Bless The USA!!!

And the capbadge
For everyone’s knowledge, SFC Payne just was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The best of us.
And Payne went on to win the Medal of Honor. What a legend.
and now this man has won the Medal of Honor, god bless.
Congratulations to (now) SGM Thomas P. Payne, MOH awardee.
bulk isn't very useful in soldiering or combat, just extra weight to move for so many miles
If you were wondering. Yes this is the moh recipient.
Payne was just awarded the CMOH
Thomas Payne just wont the medal of honour today, 9/11 2020. What a beast!

Thomas Payne now has a slightly more distinguished award than this one... The Congressional Medal of Honor.....
Well looky here, we got the medal of honor recipient Sgt Payne!!!
I guess SGM Payne just receiving the MOH as a Delta operator answers all the questions asked here.
The irony is only a few years later Payne would earn the Medal of Honor. He’s the best and it shows.
If they are Delta that is good, and if they are not. I am pretty sure they will be recruited for Delta ASAP. They are already the best among the best.
they are delta
daubabylon they are delta
we now know for sure they're delta
little did thomas payne know, he’s going to be awarded the medal of honor 8 years later....
