Steve - pure gold. I may use this statement. I really never figured out what the SF in our sector actually did except use the granary as a launchpoint for missions they wouldn't tell me about.
On topic - let's think what makes Ranger BNs special other than attending a hard course.
At heart, they are highly resourced and trained light infantry. They have selective entry standards, and can drop any non-performer for any reason.
They receive copious amounts of training time and little in the way of red cycle BS the GPF endures.
Now, create a cav sqdn/armor BN, give it the same advantages. Might be a worthwhile capability, even if it isn't SOF in nature.
