This is venturing into speculation (well, we all speculate. This is a bit out there). Back in the '70's when the US realized it needed a counter-terrorism capability it directed the creation of Delta, and ordered the SF to develop a stop-gap capability, which was Blue Light (which most people probably only know about because of Falcon's file card). Blue Light was around for about two years, but it was an odd organization. Colonel Mountel is credited with being the founder, but he was also 5th Group's commander (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Blue_Light
). In essence, he commanded an SF Group (made up a of a couple of battalions of Green Berets) as well as the American CT force. He could basically pluck any Green Beret from the Group and drop it into Blue Light should he think they could use that guy's (or, in one instance, girl) specialist skills. How's that for a green-shirt?
Joe could have a similar structure - a large body of "generic" Rangers/Green Berets/SEALs/Marines, with a smaller select high readiness team, all under one commander.
