Hey, finally something I have a slight clue about
You're still on AD? Shoot me a Pm with more detailed info on what you need (it should be listed in my contact info). If I can't give you all the help you need, I can point you to the guys who can.
PS: Cavguy - The DSU are no longer in existence. They were created to bridge the gap between the USMC Small Craft Company (disestablished by the USMC) and the Navy Riverine Group One. The Marines trained up some reservists and put them on the boats until the Navy was ready. RIVGRU One now has the Haditha mission. The Army does have units who have done riverine ops but only because there was no one else to do the job. The 101st, 25th ID and 10th Mtn all have conducted riverine ops.
PPS: Don't use the current Navy riverine doctrine (actually it's a CONOPS). It won't help you. The older stuff is actually better. For what you want, look more at the USMC SCC.
Okay, final note: NECC Riverine Overview & POCs

The Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) mans, trains and equips naval forces to provide a secure area for forces and logistics to cross from maritime domain onto land. The Riverine Force is responsible for providing an offensive component to NECC and Navy operating areas. NECC provides adaptive forces packages and one stop shopping for fleet and combined forces by rapidly deploying Riverine forces into unique missions and operating environments. NECC’s Riverine force is adaptive to mission requirements, scalable and agile.
Three Riverine Squadrons under one Riverine Group Commander serve as a ready force for the Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander. Each Riverine Squadron (Active Component) consists of specially designed craft configured to operate in a hostile riverine environment. Water crafts will have multiple crews for near continuous operations and lift capacity for a small tactical unit. Manning, training and equipment will support operations versus a Level II threat, and include organic Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, Force Protection, and logistics.

Oh well. That does make things difficult, though not outside of expectations either. Anyways, this comment has been confirmed, thanks for telling me.
Cheers,
