Just wondering...

A while back, I began to think to myself, beyond each one's dedicated roles, that geez there's a lot of SOF units in the US. SEALs, SF, PJ, etc etc etc. and it made me wonder something...

I understand that in the UK, the SAS rotate all their guys through the various roles they conduct like their CT wing. Obviously, I know unless I was a part of those units, I won't really know if that's how they did it then or now. But, I'm just talking in regards to what info is available to the general public.

My question is, again keeping with the fact that I'm only speaking in terms of what civilians get to know no matter how flawed, why doesn't SOCOM do this with SF groups? I mean I know you guys are cross trained to the nth degree but, going on reports that everyone is stretched thin, wouldn't it sensible if everyone could fill the "other roles" by rotating through?
