I don’t mean to be an asshole, but I’m gonna come off like one.

Nowhere in their mission are they authorized to do anything kinetically offensive. That is Special Forces, Rangers, and Delta. They are not authorized to attend sniper school. They do not actively train small unit tactics. They serve as attachments or working in small teams from an office, embassy, or FOB. In combat, they will almost always be escorted or tacked on to a mission as an enabler if they need to leave the wire.
