counter terrorism units overall are pretty small.
This is what fighting insurgency needs imo. Small units typically work better in this environment than a huge army. Now Fallujah and Ramadi when we were in Iraq we had huge division, battalion, etc. attacks but the USMC was able to work wonders over there because they're taught small unit tactics, hell majority of ops takes place on company sized elements and below in the USMC. Whereas the army really isn't taught them that much.

I agree, but small tactical units can only do so much with armored vehicles being driven by suicide bombers coming at you, especially when regular army has retreated.
