Well it has gone thru some interesting twists from its inception. It was originally stood up by a LTC Mason, a piece of work himself, who convinced the powers to be that the organization was needed. At the time he was the G4 for SOCOM before it became USASOC back in 85 time frame. While his idea was good, his intentions were to make himself invaluable and become a BN Cdr for his own sake. Then it went thru several evolutions of just what it was going to be and what it was supposed to do. As is the case of all logistics organizations no one really notices as long as things are going well and everyone notices when it screws up. I never really had any direct dealing with it so I really cannot pass any judgement from my point of view and listening to my son it seemed to have the normal problems all units do complicated by the mix brought about with male and female interactions, sniveling, wanting to be special operations but not really being special operations, etc.
