U.S. Special Forces

[thatguy96]

I've created US special forces for the Vietnam timelines, with rather crude formations, and a pretty basic weapon loadout for commando infantry. One has to realize that Green Berets (the primary US Army Special Force) do a lot more than fight people , and fighting is probably relatively low on the list. In the US Army OOB, I included three formations, A-Team, B-Team, and C-Team, which is a rough representation of the organization nature of a SFG(A) group, but would never really be all in the field at the same time. The A-Detachment is just one squad (a true 7 man team), a B-Detachment is 4 A-Detachments, and a C-Detachment is 3 B-Detachments (in this case overseen by another A-Detachment). Now this is real organizational structure of how SFG(A) teams were set up, but like I said, I doubt that you'd have a single C-Detachment all in the field in the same place at the same time, and likely they wouldn't be fighting people, they'd be there leading indigenous personel, doing recon, public affairs work, and psyops.

I included them for better effect as "Foreign Advisors" in the ARVN OOB, and had them for a while in a similar capacity in the US Army OOB with CIDG units copied out of the ARVN OOB. In the ARVN OOB my plan would be to create a seperate set of formations for the CIDG, with an "advisory" command element with a slightly higher morale rating, and maybe a higher experience rating.
