Yes, when SE arrives in Nam he is assigned to the 101st and signs up to join a LRP unit. After his first tour ends he re-ups for another six months and is wounded and spends some time in recovery. When his extension ends, he returns to the states and he decides to extend his service and completes Special Forces, after which he requests to return to Vietnam where he learns about SOG and spends two more years running recon.
The 5th SFGA essentially served as the cover for SOG operatives, particularly the ground recon element known as OPS-35. The men were all listed on the 5th's rolls but most of them had already served with the 5th. SOG's indigenous mercernaries had served previously with CIDG, MIKE Force or MGF, led by the 5th's SF men.
SOG personnel went to Recondo training camps on Hon Tray Island, and those who were becoming One-Zeros went to Kham Duc which was later transferred to Long Thanh.
