HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY
OCTOBER 1977
2 DELTA FORCE FIELD MANUAL
FM 365-7 CONFIDENTIAL
In October of 1977, the 1st Special Forces Operational
Detachment-DELTA was secretly formed to deal with the
growing threat of world terrorism. At Fort Bragg, elite Delta
Force operatives, recruited mainly from the 82nd Airborne,
Special Forces Green Berets and U.S. Army Rangers, rigorously
train in hostage rescues, specialized reconnaissance and other
counter terrorism techniques. Highly skilled in CQB (Close
Quarters Battle), armed with the best equipment, and able to
infiltrate as civilians, Delta Force is ready to deal with the most
dangerous world threats.
Due to the extremely sensitive nature of these low-visibility
missions, the U.S. Department of Defense still does not officially
acknowledge the existence of Delta Force.

INSTALLING DELTA FORCE
The AutoRun program will automatically load itself and run each time
you insert the Delta Force CD into your CD-ROM drive. Delta Force
uses an Install Wizard to place the necessary files on your hard drive.
Before you begin installing the game, close all programs that your computer may be currently running.
1) Place the game CD into your CD-ROM drive and close the drive
door. The AutoRun program will now take over. If you have turned
off the AutoRun feature or if the AutoRun fails to launch
automatically, double-click on the “My Computer” icon on your
desktop and then double-click on your computer’s CD-ROM drive
letter. This should launch the Delta Force AutoRun.
2) Click the mouse on one of the menu choices, or type the letter
corresponding to the underlined hot key.
3) At the beginning of the installation program you are given the
opportunity to select a destination folder for the game. A default is
typed in the window for you. Press the Enter key to select the
default destination. Otherwise, select your own folder name. If the
folder you specify does not already exist on your hard drive, the
Install program will create it for you. Further installation instructions
will appear on-screen.
4) If there is enough free hard drive space at the destination site, the
program will copy the files from your Delta Force CD-ROM. An
on-screen progress meter displays the completion percentage as
the program transfers the files.
5) The install procedure automatically adds a NovaLogic folder to
your Windows®Start Menu under the Programs heading.
The Delta Force sub-folder within the NovaLogic folder contains
an application short-cut icon for the game. The install also places a
Delta Force shortcut icon on your desktop.
6) If your system does not already have DirectX installed, you will
need to install it now. Select Install DirectX from the AutoRun
program, then follow the on-screen instructions. You will need to
restart your computer to activate DirectX before you can play
Delta Force.
To start Delta Force, double-click on the Delta Force shortcut. You
can also go to the program’s directory or Start Menu and double-click
on the Delta Force program icon.
