Do the squads now operating as de-facto CAPs and would your notional CAPs have real power to shape or even veto SOF raids in their areas? I can think of little worse for a CAP at a critical point in building their relationship with their community than to have a raid come in without prior coordination one night, kill several of the wrong people, then be gone in the morning leaving just the bodies behind.
I ask because I've read that at least in the past, SOF tends to swan about on their own without much regard for local forces.
Also, I think who is in the CAP is critical. Would you just use the people who happen to be in a unit you picked for this or specially select them?
