I remember someone asking about Troop structure in relation to the SAS and Delta. I wanted to respond to the actual quote but for the life of me, can't find it. Was it you John?. Sorry, been a long S#itty day. Anyway...
The SAS Troop HQ is usually the Troop Commander, Troop Sergeant (Staff Sgt) and a Troop Communicator. Before 9/11, it was rare for the Troop Commander to actually lead patrols. This is in stark contrast to the Australian SASR where Troop Commanders are trained specifically as Patrol Leaders.
Before 9/11 Delta Troop HQ was; a Troop Commander (Major or Senior Capt), a Troop Sergeant (SGM), a Troop Medic and a Master Breacher or Sniper (billet rarely filled) and an attachment of a USAF CCT and a PJ.
After 9/11, I believe that Breachers were removed to form part of the Combat Support Squadron (Breachers, Military Working Dogs, EOD, etc). In Dalton Fury's book, the Troop HQ was the Troop Commander, Troop Sergeant (SGM), Troop Communicator and a Troop Medic with an attached USAF CCT or two.
According to Pete Blaber's book 'The Men, the mission and Me' one of the doctrinal differences between Delta and DEVGRU is that DEVGRU uses their attached USAF CCT's as primary communicators whereas Delta uses them as back up and are primarily there for air support. Blaber also seems pretty unimpressed with SEALs as well.
In terms of patrols, there's a difference as well, SAS seem to use the 4 man patrol model, Delta uses 6 (in Assault Troops) and 4 (x2 Sniper Pairs in Recce / Recon Troops)
The SASR uses 5 man patrols; Patrol Commander (a Cpl), a Combat Medic, Demolitions Specialist and a Marksman. A signaler is the 5th man. The Signaler is usually from the 152 Signals Squadron.
I can give a complete rundown on the SASR organization if anyone is interested ?
