SAS Squadrons have a Mobility Troop (that drive specially customized 4WD vehicles and specialize in desert warfare), a Mountain Troop, an Air Troop (specialize in HALO/HAHO), and a Boat Troop (specialize in amphibious warfare).
This is basically how I organize my Joes, somewhat... (I think I've finally settled on a set-up that I will end up liking, I've altered it so many times thanks to this thread..)
I do segregate my non-Army from Army but it's mostly because of that Unit's operational mission.
There is some cross-pollination with the "Air Troop" (the Air Force Operators) being assigned to Army and SEaL/Marine Units.
Basically it's broken down like this:
The Land/Mountain/Mobility/Air Troops:
The Army/USAF teams work in "land" operations. Mountains, Arctic, Jungle with an emphasis on land-based insertions. They also form the assault teams for larger missions.
Assault Teams (a couple of 6 man fireteams with light armor support; comprised of Army guys - this would be where guys like Grunt, Footloose, Zap, Bazooka are with Steeler, Heavy Metal in the armor and Skidmark and others as Cavalry)
Recon Teams (a couple smaller 4 man teams - this would be where Sneak Peek, Ambush and others are, Special Operations qualified guys and where the USAF guys would start showing up as Forward Observers, Combat Weathermen, etc..)
Spec Ops Teams (Flint, Beachhead, Alpine, and the other rangers; also where the SWAT/CBQ units would show up - also where some of the USAF guys show up, PJs, etc..)
The Boat Troop:
The Navy/Marine guys with an emphasis on amphibious missions/insertions. They get supported by the Assault Teams when required.
SEaLs, Marine Force Recon, VBSS
