Just like you have players that play on offense, players that play on defense, Special Teams are the players that play on kicking plays (for example kicking a field goal or punting the ball and also for kickoffs and kickoff returns).

Special Teams sir, special teams.
As you may know, the military alphabet goes something like Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, etc. etc. etc. Because Delta Force is offiially SFOD-D, or Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta, it is technically a rung of the broader "Special Forces" of the Army. In the Special Forces there are: A Teams : SFOD-A or Special Forces Operational Detachment - ALPHA B Teams : SFOD-B or Special Forces Operational Detachment - BRAVO C Teams : SFOD-C or Special Forces Operational Detachment - CHARLIE A teams being the 12-man teams of Green Berets that actually do all or most of the on the ground fighting, teaching, etc. And the B and C teams being command and support elements. So when Beckwith came up with the idea for the new specialized Counter-terrorist unit he wanted to create, being that it was going to be a "Special Force", it probably just made the most sense for him and the high-ups in the army organizationally to just add it to the rungs of the already established Special Forces and call it "SFOD-Delta".
Observations, studies, training friendlies, kill teams, reconnaissance, etc.
special teams. it is a team chosen by the coach made up of the quikest from defense and offense.
Kennedy wanted "Special Forces" to do special work. He approved the creations of the US Special Forces (Green Berets) and SEALs (In WW2/Korean War; known as UDT-Under Water Demolition Teams, aka Frogmen).
