I agree, but this is just a part of FID and while training host nation troops can be done by any force meeting the requisite qualifications mentioned above the force itself is going to fall short dealing with all the other aspects that makes FID work such as intel ops, selected civil-military requirements, and joint/combined ops to name but a few challenges. Where as the marines can bring a lot to the table SF will bring the entire meal and leave a tip.
Jack Moroney-I know many marines and have great respect for them, however you might be able to detach the marine from the Corps you will never separate the Corps from the marine.
