Ranger school is one of the courses they have to attend. So I guess they would have had a pretty decent level of combat training in Ranger School, but beyond Ranger School, I'm not sure.
However, I was under the impression that they also did some Hostage Rescue missions and extracted downed pilots and stuff. They may have some combat/CQB training.
I think they train a lot with the USAF Combat Control Teams. Those guys do long range stuff to set up landing strips and so forth. They do some Recon... I don't know if they have much combat capability either.
Yeah, these guys go through some lengthy training and if you wanted a guy saving your ass, you'd probably want one of them doing it. They seem pretty versatile and well-rounded. People like to argue about which units are the best. Delta Force? SEALs? Marine Force Recon? The SEALs stand out for me in terms of well-roundedness, but PJs are damn close.
