I know that they are exceptionally skilled but they're more or less the equivalent of a Special Forces recon team or Long Range Surveillance unit, which doesn't require as much money to train and operate. I thought what primarily separated Tier 1 from other tiers was the level of funding.
A while back I had decided to place Ripcord and Freefall in RCC because they're HALO jumpers and the only units that really use HALO techniques are Special Forces, SEALs, LRSU, MSOT, and a few other elite units.
Sky Patrol always seemed like the perfect SF recon team to me because of their specialties and ranks but Ripcord and Freefall weren't even staff sergeants, so I put them on a team with Recoil, Sneak Peek, Recondo and Outback.
The RRC suppossedly became Tier 1 (part of JSOC) in 2007. Prior to that, they were called the Regimental Recon Detachments (RRD) and there was one per battalion. Everything changed when they were bumped up.
If they are Tier 1, then I think it's safe to assume that they are more proficient and better equiped than the SF Recon Teams or the Division LRS Teams, though all of those guys are very good at their jobs.
By becoming a Tier 1 unit, the RRC is basically different from the rest of the Ranger Regiment. How's this for an example: Delta is officially known as Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta. It's listed like an SF detachment, but is not at all involved with the other SF goups. The RRC is like that with the Rangers... it's something completely on it's own, it's just listed as a Regimental unit officially. Does that make sense?
