I believe so, sort of. As I understand, Blue Light was a temporary stop gap until Delta was mission-capable. I seem to recall seeing a line about wanting doers instead of teachers. Anyway, I believe that the green beret community took some lessons from Blue Light which eventually resulted in a CIF company in each Group. Depending on where in the world an incident occurs, a CIF company could be closer to the scene and so be more responsive than Delta or 6. To add to confusion, Marine Expeditionary Units (SOF Capable) can create ad hoc Maritime Special Purpose Forces for in extremis situations. In short (and having drifted from the original question), there are all sorts of potentially competing ass-kickers looking to give various riff raff and ne'er-do-wells acute cases of lead poisoning. I guess it all comes down to whichever general or admiral gets the first call in to whoever makes the final decision.
