My basic understanding is that a squadron contains a 5-man HQ with a major as CO, four 16-man troops (boat, air, mobility, and mountain), and troops may be split into 4-man patrols.
I'm using all the Action Force guys and others like Big Ben and Skymate to fill the troops. Q-Force will definitely go into the boat troop, and I'm distributing SAS Force and Z-Force into other troops according to each character's specialties, and I'm placing all the pilots in Air Troop even though it's really for paratroopers and not aviators. So anyone who's already done this kind of composition with international characters, I'd be interested in seeing your breakdowns again.
That's basically right Tank, I'd just add that in Afghanistan & Iraq they were using 6 man patrols but I've read that in terms of Assault, they're going back to 4 man patrols (6 for SR missions)
As an interesting aside, USASOC recently held a Special Ops Assault Team / Sniper Challenge where all teams were made up of 4 operators

As for Action Force, I don't know if it helps but I use Action Force as a mini UK SOF Task team so SAS force is the SAS / SBS surgical element, Z-Force is the Special Forces Support Group, Q Force is the Navy / Marine Boat support and Space Force are the RAF Special Ops pilots.
