And I’m saying that the structure of the conventional forces could handle a large portion of what SOF forces are currently doing.
This statement is correct with the caveat that most likely not as "cleanly" as special warfare units would do it and in the long run higher casualties.

But the mis-allocation of special warfare units has at times resulted in failures because the mission of the day, was simply not a special warfare mission.

seal team 6


the worst kept secret in the military


hasn't been a secret since 1981... in fact after 1982 it's existence was not even "confidential".

They've done it before but I was speaking more to the DA/kinetic missions that have become almost the sole purview of Rangers/SEALs. Most of the advisory roles should stay with Army SF/ MARSOC. Those missions are much more difficult and require a lot of maturity and experience.

That's what the Rangers have always done though. And also QRF for the secret squirrel guys.

Its changed from “Rangers get the toughest and most dangerous missions” to “Rangers/SEALs will conduct all operations other than routine patrols and gate guard”

That’s the reality right now and it’s overtaxing our special operations troops and draining our conventional units of their best people, morale and training.

There are only about 1/2 dozen books and numerous websites on this. I really think you are trolling.
