Original Note:
Hostage rescue was a core task of US Special Operations forces since the Vietnam War. Malcolm Nance didn't 'develop' any hostage rescue program for the US DOD. OP Ivory Coast and OP Eagle Claw predated his service by decades. https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/i/iran-hostage-rescue-mission-report.html https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196019/rescue-attempt-the-son-tay-raid/
