Revisiting this thread because the idea just occurred to me, in the specific context of 5th ID, that a unit along these lines could be flagged as P Company, which was the 1st Bde/5th ID's Ranger/LRRP unit in Vietnam.
If players were members of this unit, on some special tactical or operational level tasking when things all go pear shaped for 5th ID, it would allow a different sort of spin on Escape from Kalisz. (Maybe the unit even gets an incredibly vague and bare bones mission to link up with B/1/20 SFG as they pull off their Op Reset objective -- but, for OPSEC purposes, without knowing exactly who, what, or why.)
