When I was a company OPs NCO we replaced a company of SF NG in the North so I am not sure who the SOTF was, but the meat of the BN was in SOTF-E so it might have been NGSF. I reckon it would have been around the 2006 time frame.

As far as 'who does more missions', the number of missions outside the wire used to impress me before I took over my current duty position. I have seen ODA's post INCREDIBLE numbers when it comes to 'missions outside the wire'; then you see than one ODA does 20-30 'missions' in a month compared to 9 or 10 by another ODA over the same time period. Then you see that the ODA with big numbers is only doing local security patrols within 2km of the 'wire' while the other is out for several days at a time, beyond 10km outside the wire. One is just defending the camp, while the other is out roaming the countryside; add to that the location dynamic, maybe the one 'defending the camp' is surrounded by bad guys, and the other has better freedom of movement. When you are looking at it from a C2 point of view you cant help but notice that every location is different. As I heard a few times this last trip, if you've seen one VSP, you've seen one VSP. They are surrounded by different tribes in different areas with different team 'personalities' being brought to bear against the threat.

Every team in the company worked their collective asses off this year even though some of them looked like they didn't do a lot on paper.
Unfortunately, when it comes time to give out 'trophies' for 1st 2nd and 3rd place, there has to be a "metric" that you use to measure success and trips outside the wire along with how many local cops you have trained seem to be the measuring stick we are using to define success right now.

...just a few rambling thoughts, maybe I am missing a few details.
