Move to USRDF

I think this article should be retitled United States Rapid Deployment Forces. Risk of confusion with other RDF's. --Vuo 14:21, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree. We were "The RDJTF". And I don't know where we hid 11,000 troops in the 7th MAB at 29 Palms; in one Tank Bn(-)(reinforced); three IN BNs and an Arty BN(-). I guess the wingers and FSSG guys had a monster contingent. Meyerj (talk) 12:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relationship between RDJTF and JSOC

In the book Rogue Warrior by Dick Marcinko it mentions a "Joint Task Force" (JTF) that was established established by Defence Secretary Harold Brown that was created that was the first step to how SEAL Team Six was created.

My questions are:

Is the RDJTF and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) the same type of command or are they totally different?

Did the RDJTF develop into JSOC?

It mentions that the RDJTF was created in March 1980 and the Joint Special Operations Command was created in December 1980

Any info would be greatful
