First of that this isn't "classified information", Seth Harp just pulled this guy's information (image and description) from a publicly accessible Duke University page, which appears when you reverse image search this picture.

Duke University page

Chris Countouriotis also publishes publicly accessible research papers/summaries under this name and identity:

It's not as if his name and identity are secret/classified. I found all this in 5-10 minutes on Google.

Secondly it's highly questionable if this guy is even the leader of Delta Force himself. Yes he has a long career in special forces, but obviously not everyone in special forces with a long career is the literal commander. Harp would need to have some actual evidence here, not a screenshot of a publicly accessible webpage.

Stuff like this keeps me from reading the Fort Bragg cartel.

I maybe misinterpreted the post, but my reading was not that the bio & picture were classified, but that being the leader of Delta Force was & that there was classified info showing that which wasn’t directly shared.

Maybe that was too charitable of a take.

From Jack Paulson's substack:

Journalist Seth Harp just published a document he reports to be a short biography of current Delta Force commander Col. Chris Countouriotis.

So at least some people thought it was an actually classified document.

Everything about SFOD-D is classified, from membership to existence to activities, meaning any army SFOD-D guy has their public records displayed as anything other than. Even retired D-D guys have to play tongue-in-cheek with their participation because that's legally classified. Of course because fuckers love to brag and have a chip in their shoulder against SEAL team 6 a lot of them are fairly loose--lipped about their participation.

That said, Countouriotis' career and fruit salad screams to me delta based on my own personal knowledge and experience. I'd put my trust in Harp on having the confirmed info on this guy

Hence me using "under this name and identity".

This Countouriotis guy is obviously heavily involved in special forces, look at some of those badges. But the lead commander? That's very difficult to say.

He's at the required rank, has the certs, the career, etc. to be selected for command. D-D isn't some sort of magical space like the IDF where everyone are generals by 20 lol
