I will often use an SF platoon as a diversionary force. If the map is conducive to it, I'll send them forward in light vehicles (or preferably by helo) to an area likely to be passed by the OPFOR. Then let em fight. They're remarkably effective if dug in and with some sort of natural vision break (e.g. forest lines or moutain ridge) and artillery support. They do an excellent job of tying OPFOR down for a few extra turns permitting my main forces to advance that much further and then find good defensive positions before inevitable contact.
