The entire Joe team is "Special Ops." And there are several that despite not having it specifically spelled out on Filecards or the like would seem to qualify since they've been to vague training such as "Covert Ops School" and the like.
But if you're talking about those that have specifically been noted as Green Berets, Rangers, SEALs or otherwise, this is a semi-quick look over Filecards from 82-94, and for my sanity's sake I didn't really check sub-teams and vehicle drivers: Green Berets: Duke (Confirmed by Filecard) Flint (Confirmed by Filecard) Falcon (Confirmed by Filecard) Possible Green Berets: Rock n' Roll ("Covert Ops School") Recondo (His whole "Go into the jungle and work with indigenous people" thing is...exactly what Green Berets are supposed to do) Beach Head ("Covert Ops School") Stalker ("Intelligence School" and breadth of experience/training...dude is practically a one-man Special Forces team with all his specialties) Snake-Eyes (Breadth of experience/training) Mutt (Attached as Cadre/Instructor to "Special Ops School") Claymore (Breadth of Experience) Rangers: Stalker (Confirmed by v2 Filecard) Flint (Confirmed by Filecard) Claymore (Confirmed by Filecard) Beach Head (Confirmed by Filecard) Sneak-Peek (Confirmed by Filecard) Muskrat (Confirmed by Filecard) Crazylegs (Confirmed by Filecard) Freefall (Confirmed by Filecard) Possible Rangers: Snake-Eyes (Implied via LRRP Experience in Vietnam) Recondo (Implied via...being a Recondo, which has been folded into the Rangers in modern times) Ripcord (Regular Airborne Infantry does not normally receive HALO training, but Airborne Rangers can) Outback ("Survival School" and "Jungle Warfare School" pretty much add up to "Ranger", plus his whole SURVIVAL shtick/shirt is straight out of the Ranger's Handbook) Recoil (Implied by LRRP Experience) Pathfinder (Implied by being a "Jungle Warfare Expert") Storm Shadow (Implied by LRRP Experience) SEALs: Torpedo (Confirmed by Filecard) Wet-Suit (Confirmed by Filecard) Shipwreck (Confirmed by v2 Filecard) Tracker (Confirmed by Filecard) Possible SEALs: Snake-Eyes (Trained in "Underwater Demolitions") Marine Force Recon Gung-Ho (Effectively confirmed by original filecard/Breadth of Experience) Leatherneck (Implied by being in a Recon Battalion per Filecard) British SAS Big Ben (Confirmed by Filecard) There are probably a few more from the nu-sculpt era and beyond, but from the "classic run" of ARAH those are the ones I managed to suss out.

For Outback, "Survival School" and "Jungle Warfare School" do not add up to Ranger. That's not to say he wasn't a Ranger but they are different things. It's actually it's own specialty. Survival, evasion, resistance, and escape or SERE specialists teach all the stuff that Outback does. That being said, his 87 filecard does reference the Ranger Handbook. Here's a link to the Wikipedia page that has the history of the SERE program. It's kind of cool.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surviv...nce_and_Escape On the subject of possible Rangers though, I'd probably add Duke to the list. While it's not specifically mentioned anywhere, it would be highly unusual for an Army soldier of his experience, training/specialties, and rank to have not graduated from Ranger School, especially if they're a "fast tracker"/"ultimate soldier" like Duke inevitably would be.

Just a reminder, graduating from Ranger School does not make you Special Operations. You have to be a member of the 75th Ranger Regiment or the Ranger Reconnaissance Company.
