Wonder who would manage the control of these disparate units?

For the time being 4th Group and 96th CA (soon to be a Brigade) will be set up like the rest of 0-6 commanded units (TF/75th), falling directly under USASOC. Now I can't see USASOC given up that MG billet for too long as this kinda makes having a LG only in charge of 1 MG (not including SWCS) look kinda fishy. Some one might get the idea that USASOC doesn't need to be so star heavy. But we'll see what the future holds.
As far as the RC forces going to support Mother Army I feel this is where they are used and needed the most. I'm sure the USSOCOM Commander has been wondering why all his training and equipment dollars have been going to support elements outside of his command.
War tracing AC units can work wonders when in comes down to the amount and type of training you are able to conduct. Not to mention equipment interoperability etc.... 4th POG and 75th have done this for about 6 years now with good success and continue to renew their MOA. I know 96th used to send the same guys along as well (QP's), but I don't know if this was due to any kind of official agreement.
The part of this change that is going to pose problems (and already is) is that SWCS retains proponency and is responsible for training ALL CA/PSYOP forces. They are already whining about course lengths etc....
Green Salsa, I sincerely hope that you beat the living shit out of those dirt bags and relayed your sentiments up the chain. There are those of us that do give a shit and take our mission very seriously.
