It's curious that they would separate breachers from the main assault troop. Almost all CQC or VBSS or SWAT teams have organic breachers since knocking in doors is what they do everyday. I would assume that all Delta assault troops have a lead breacher and that all assaulters are cross trained to do the job if necessary.
In Dalton Fury's book, there didn't seem to be an Officer in Command of the Recce troop. All the teams were undermanned at the time and from memory, India team had 2 members and Juliet had 5 (3 snipers, an attached DEVGRU SEAL and a USAF CCT)
In regards to the Breachers, I think it was a response to what was happening; the draw down in Iraq and Afghanistan and a deliberate attempt to pivot away from the GWOT and towards other threats like China, North Korea, and Iran.
Hence the spinning off the Breaching teams so they could focus on missions that had more deliberate planning involving Hard and Deeply Buried Targets like Bunkers, Weapons Depots, etc.
Of course, the subsequent Arab Spring led to yet another pivot back towards the Arabian Peninsula, North and West Africa.
