Just so long as they realize they are not Special Forces, and don't try to be Special Forces.

That is not the proposal on the table.
What you are referring to has long applied to apportionedand theater based forces.
Looks to me like the Big Army trying to steal a page from our playbook to remain relevant and to compete for forces.
One of the biggest issues from the VSO program with conventional attachments has been the assumption by the VSO force that they were now "SF."
