Rangers aren't Special Forces
So from what I recall, Rangers, while utterly badass, fall under JSOC, but arent themsleves Special forces. Yet they keep calling Corey Special Forces.
Anyone else know if this is correct??
Army Rangers are the Army's version of Navy SEALS, so unless you want to split hairs it's valid.

"Rangers are the spearhead of the Army’s special operations forces. Ready to deploy by land, air and sea anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice to respond to the latest contingency or crisis. Rangers specialize in rapid infantry assault, night fighting and airfield seizure. The Rangers are trained to infiltrate and exit by air, land or sea and have the capability to conduct conventional or special light-infantry operations. In many cases, the Ranger platoon will serve as the security element, the outer cordon, and often act as the Quick Reaction Force (QRF)."
Incorrect. The Army's version of the Navy SEALs is the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (aka. Delta Force, The Unit, etc.). Not splitting hairs.
"Delta Force," officially known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (1st SFOD-D), is one of the U.S. special missions units primarily focused on the counter-terrorism mission. SFOD-Delta has been through a few name changes over the years, and even though it will likely always be known as SFOD–Delta, it was recently renamed the Combat Applications Group (CAG) and is now officially known as Army Compartmented Elements (ACE).
Though Delta Force is primarily a tier-one counter-terrorist unit, specifically directed to kill or capture high value units (HVU) or dismantle terrorist cells, Delta Force remains extremely flexible and can engage in direct action missions, hostage rescues, and covert missions working directly with the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as high ranking protective services of our senior leaders during visits in war torn countries. Delta is under operational control of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) though administratively supported by the Army Special Operations Command (USASOC).
