This was a challenge for me too. From what I gathered, SEAL CWOs (715X) mostly fill administrative or training billets, acting as instructors, department heads, division officers, OIC or AOIC. Departments consist of Ordnance, Air Ops, Diving Ops, Engineering, etc.

They sometimes assigned the junior officer (O1) to a platoon but now he appears to be a permanent member, along with other enlisted. An SDV Platoon still has 16 SEALs. They will attach EOD techs from the NAVSOF EOD Platoon of 10 men or an MPC detachment (K9 and SEAL handler) as required. There are no warrant officers in the platoon.
SEAL Platoon (21 men) Platoon Commander (O3) Assistant Platoon Commander (O2) Junior Officer (O1) Platoon Chief (E7) SEAL x 14 SEAL Medic X 2

Nice find. I'm surprised they'd have an odd number of SEALs in a platoon, when they used to focus on the buddy pair.

Just to finish off the SASR structure; 4 SAS (Clandestine Action Squadron) - works with ASIS (Oz equivalent of the CIA) -HQ troop - A Troop - B Troop - Signals Troop 5 SAS (Army Reserve) - HQ Troop - A Troop (Ready Reserve) - B Troop (General Reserve West) - C Troop (General Reserve East) - D Troop (Specialist Reserve) - Signals Troop (Reserve) 1 SRS (Special Reconnaissance) - HQ Troop - x 4 Troops A-D (x 2 HUMINT Platoons & x 2 SIGINT Platoons each) - E Troop (Reserve) - F Troop (Technical Support) As an addendum to the Sabre Squadrons. One company sized troop rotates thru to the Counter Terrorist role and becomes Tactical Assault Group West (TAG-West). This way, 2 platoons are on immediate response and 2 are on ready reserve at any one time. The Counter Revolutionary Warfare Wing provides a small cadre of specialists who train, study techniques and doctrine and provide the specialist equipment when needed. Tactical Assault Group - East is formed from the 2nd Commando Regiment and Specialist Divers from the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) provide Clearance Divers for the Offshore Assault capability (kind of like Navy SEALs but they're considered more Special Operations Capable than actual Special Operations,think of them like the Navy EOD's who deploy with the SEALs). The 2nd Commando regiment are kind of like the Royal Marine Commandos but are regarded as Special Operations and not regular infantry.

TAG-East and TAG-WEST completely separate from any of the squadrons? They the same as SAS CRW?
The more we delve into these there almost seems like the Joes seem more of a fit for one of these sub teams within a larger Special operations Force like the Increment or this TAG West, or the Counter Revolutionary Wing with some intelligence assets thrown in. I am partially basing this on the size of GIJoe which seems like a small Battalion 200-300 men Not sure about the armor and artillery but John has made a great illustration of how those members function well as a Mobility troop. 2nd Commando more like Royal Marines or SBS?

2 Commando's mission is direct action, domestic counter terrorism and advance forced operations / preparation of the battlespace; pathfinding, close target reconnaissance, etc). 2 Commando is structured more like a regular infantry than the SAS and was created to complement the SAS, like the Rangers complement Delta and the Special Forces Support Group complement the SAS. In Joe terms, I guess they'd be like the Greenshirts supporting the Joe team. I can't remember which book it was, but it was either 'Seven Troop' or 'Immediate Action' one of the Andy McNab biographies, he described Squadron level training where all 4 troops were undergoing desert mobility training using armor and artillery. From memory, Boat Troop and Mountain Troop operated the Light Armored Vehicles and Mobility and Air Troop operated the Desert Light Strike Vehicles (3 operators per vehicle) and they would use defensive positions where the 3 man teams became the mortar squads with Troop HQ becoming the Fire Direction Center.
