Well they are assigned to ODA, SEAL and MARSOC Teams and imbedded with 75TH, so yes they are considered SOF. I worked with a couple that were with ODA's in Afghanistan and they were on the team just like the 18's, had duty that supported and was part of the teams mission went out on every leader engagement and level one operation they had. So what is the problem by they way they are part of SOCOM, so again what is the problem. Now that TACP of today, not 70's,80's and 90's their training and selection and duties have changed some what.

As I said they do same duties on team as the 18's do, worked with one that was assigned as the over watch or as many people call sniper and this guy was good. I might like him a little as he let us shoot all the toys and gave us some training on them. Being SOF support on a JSOTF task force has it's perks as well.

TACP here. We are considered part of the Battlefield Airmen/Special Warfare community. Very small percentage are assigned to SOCOM after an additional selection.
