From my research for the book that I'll forever research and never write ;)
Delta has many of their own courses but many do go thru the SF's SOTIC (Special Operations Target Interdiction Course) which I think is now called SFSC (Special Forces Sniper Course).
My template for Roadblock (to use your earlier Cook to SF example) is based on a real SF 18B / 18Z who started as a Cook, he didn't attend SOTIC / SFSC but did attend some of the different precision shooting skills courses offered by civilian contractors (EAG, Tiger Swan, Vicker's Tactical)
In regards to Airtight and other Combat Support types, I'm using him strictly as a Combat Support. The way I see it is, any Joe on an Assault Team will focus primarily on being an Assaulter, they will retain their previous experience but that'll be their focus. A guy like Airtight will focus on being the best CBRNE guy (keeping up to date with the latest in equipment, bio hazards, chem weapons and techniques, etc) instead of trying to be this and that.
I think of all the different skills, then all the time one has to focus on keeping up to date and qualified in all these skills could potentially leave someone being good at lots of things instead of being great in a few key skills if that makes sense (?)
All Chemical Reconnaissance guys attached to SF Groups (and Ranger I think) get CQB training now too
As for Hard Top and Steam Roller, I haven't got to them yet but I'm leaning towards support roles. I can't see either being part of my Breaching Troop.
I am curious, do you have all of your combat engineers assigned to your Breaching Troop? Or do you have some assigned on your Assault Troops and others to your Breaching Troop? And where do you assign any Special Forces Engineer Sergeants? I followed your idea of having a Heavy Breaching Troop but am trying to decide who goes on it. I know we discussed placing any Firefighters on it but would the billets be open for just anyone with breaching experience or a certain MOS?
