This is an utterly baffling battle.
Delta Force possesses vast maritime combat experience, as well as all the skills needed for amphibious operations. Being a navy Special Forces unit doesn't mean they can only fight on sea or aboard warships; it's merely because they belong to the navy that the members of Delta Force invariably possess extremely strong all-terrain combat capabilities.
But the most elite Special Forces do not mean they are invincible; they rely on a robust combat system for support.
Clearly, the initially airdropped troops faced undue pressure.
What kind of pressure?
Capturing Mad Dog alive.
Andy didn't know the military's operational plan, nor was he a combat expert, but even with his limited military knowledge, he understood that theoretically, there was no problem with a plan to capture Mad Dog alive using a parachute stunt team from the Air Force Special Forces, active-duty Green Berets, and the navy's strongest Delta Force.
