		This task force is comprised of Army Green Berets, Delta Force operators, Air Force Pararescue and commandos from the US Navy's elite DEVGRU.
		Task Force 20's primary goal is to capture or kill "High Value Targets" (HVT's), such as Iraqi Mujahideen leaders and former Ba'ath party regime members and leaders.
		Task Force 20 operators were directly involved in the 14 hour firefight between them, 101st Airborne soldiers, and Saddam Hussein's sons, Uday and Qusay Hussein.

		Task Force 20's principal assignment is to "seize, destroy, render safe, capture, or recover weapons of mass destruction," according to a Special Operations mission statement.

	Task Force
		The task organization is predicated on the mission by a war plan or an operational plan of a commander of a unified command, and as further delineated by the fleet commander-in-chief (naval component commander) and the numbered fleet commander.
		Designations for Task Forces subordinated to the Pacific and Atlantic Fleets generally follow this pattern, though the naive observer might conclude that these designations referred to units of the non-existent 1st Fleet [used for Pacific Fleet] and the equally non-existent 4th and 8th Fleets [used for the Atlantic Fleet].
		For major combat formations, the Task Force in the operational chain of command is equivalent to the Group in the administrative chain of command.
