Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Real Delta Force operator Eric Haney consulted on every episode; the tactical details were so accurate that actual operators reportedly used episodes as training references.
The show's bifurcated structure — combat abroad, domestic drama at home — was groundbreaking for 2006, directly influencing later series like SEAL Team that similarly split focus between operator and spouse.
