Because every SOCOM assets can and has. It's SFs speciality while SEALS are more Direct action but they all do both.


You are wasting an asset if SEALS are leading an Afghan light infantry battalion.

If I made it sound like seals leading a charge with a bunch of rebels behind them I apologize. It's more leading from the rear and supporting them

But I disagree about it being a waste. It can turn a bunch of locals into a functioning force. They are trained by SOF, missions are planned and directed by SOF, and SOF support them while trying to stay out of the combat directly. Sometimes they can get involved

This is not the SEALS specialty but it is a role. It's SFs specialty

It can turn 16 guns into 100 while also not costing American lives.

Delta get the most involved. They are out there running and gunning with the locals regularly
