But it could. Imagine if there was an initial gut check course for all services. SF could then go to a land nav course jointly run with JSOC for the follow on "selection" portion. Ranger School instead of SUT and the Seal's land warfare training, MOS phase, a joint SERE course, a shared MARSOC / USASOC UW phase, followed by language. Or in another order, however the folks at SWC want to run it. A shared dive program, MFF, and other stuff for advanced schools. Again, just an interesting idea. But it could work for DoD as a whole...although the Marine Corps would be the biggest loser since they would pretty much disappear into the other components of the new organization.

Something on the lines of UKSF? Like a common selection process like there is for SAS,SBS,SRR volunteers upto a certain point and then afterwards they head on to their respective units for further selection depending on their units requirement.
I am using UKSF as an example because if I recall both the SAS and SBS had entirely different selection run at Hereford and Poole respectively and now its all united under UKSF.
