The official closing ceremony was held in night, same time as most of the SOF work is done. When handing the prizes for the winners, COL Pietras highlighted that competing between services allows for more and more direct contacts between the operators, so they could understand each oth- er better. SOF Delta Cup 2016 winner (individual) was oper- ator from FORMOZA Naval Special Warfare Unit. The sec- ond place was taken by officer from Ministry of Treasure tactical unit and the third one by member of "Szturman" Foundation. In the teams category the CWKS Legia was winner, second place was taken by SPAP Katowice SWAT team and third by NIL SOF unit. The main prize was POLSOF Commander Cup What should be highlighted, in 2015 edition first place was taken by SPAP Katowice (in both team and individual cat- egory). The soldiers from NIL unit can be happy from their success – in 2015 they were forth. The SOF Delta Cup 2016 shooting challenge was hosted by POLSOF, NIL SOF unit based in Krakow, the Special Forces Club and Dynamic Shooting Association from Krakow. Supporting party was two military sport clubs. Participants of challenge are stressing out that such com- petitions have strong impact on one mission one team mindset and they are enabling the integration of different elite teams. The next edition is already in the works. - The SOF Delta Cup are excellent opportunity and best ground for common knowledge sharing between services and the competition itself integrates the community. It is also a great promotion of Special Forces are the core of the current members is coming from other services – says COL Marian Paraniak from POLSOCOM, responsible for hosting the event. Maybe, in the future, so teams from outside of Poland will come to join us. REPORT
