Operates under military command structure cooperating with Delta Force and awaiting civilian authorization.
Reinforces the military's role as implementer of executive decisions and the reliance on inter-unit coordination.
Chain-of-command cohesion implied; no explicit factional tension presented.
First Special Forces is cited alongside Delta Force as part of the rescue force constellation, implying combined capabilities and resources focused on the extraction operation.
Referenced in Fitzwallace's description of the units involved in the raid.
Functions as a subordinate but specialized component cooperating with Delta Force under military command and presidential authorization.
Demonstrates joint operational capability and the military's role as implementer of presidential orders.
Coordination and interoperability with Delta Force and 26 Special Ops during planning and rehearsals.
First Special Forces is named as part of the operational package paired with Delta Force, providing additional special operations capability and reinforcing the assault's viability.

First Special Forces (paired operationally with Delta Force and other special ops) are referenced indirectly when Leo credits 'special ops forces' with staging the successful rescue. The organization supplies the tactical capability that produced the immediate human relief but whose operations also precipitated deadly retaliation.
Manifested through Leo's report and the successful extraction; their action is narrated rather than shown.
Operationally powerful on the tactical level but accountable to civilian leadership; their actions shift moral and political burdens onto the White House.
Their success affirms military competence but the subsequent bombing exposes the administration to political fallout and raises questions about operational transparency and risk assessment.
Tension between operational necessity and political consequences; chain-of-command decisions about force deployment and the acceptable level of risk to embedded staff are implicated.
