I ran the CTF as well as the Counter Narcoterrorism and Counter Transnational Organized Crime teams at SOCOM until I retired in Feb. We trained some SF Groups in CTF for specific deployments. We trained the 18s and well as the Intel folks. The best folks I saw that could do the mission were the 18s followed by the SEALs, they immediately saw the nexus and how they could identify the bad guy's sourcing. The reason they are so good is their nonconventional background and thinking (nonlinear). Intel folks tend to think in the linear, A then B then C then D, and get confused when it goes in vastly different directions.

Ah, the stories I can't tell...
