#1 (Previously) The officer, who commanded the Delta Force raid that killed Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, is now in charge of all Green Berets. Last month, Major General John Brennan replaced Major General E. John Deedrick Jr at the helm of the 1st Special Forces Command.
The 1st Special Forces Command oversees the seven Active Duty Special Forces Groups (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th), two National Guard Special Forces Groups (19th and 20th), two Psychological Operations Groups (4th and 8th), one Civil Affairs Brigade (95th), and one Sustainment Brigade (528th). The Command is comprised of approximately 22,000 operators, enablers and support personnel.
SOFREP has learned that Major Gen. “Bam-Bam” Brennan is an operator of great reputation and “a hell of a warfighter,” according to a JSOC source.
A former commander of the 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), Brennan is a Whiskey 9, meaning that he has completed both the Military Free Fall and Combat Diver schools. During his time in Delta, among other assignments, he commanded B Squadron.
