I've been toying with trying to do something with the idea that MilGov reconstitutes the 6th and 8th Special Forces Groups (primarily recruited from returning troops from Europe), with one based out of the Memphis, aimed towards New American enclaves in the SE USA, and the other out of Colorado, doing the same towards the New America Mountain State enclaves. Very few of the guys recruited are pre-war SF or SOF guys, but they're looking for the survivors from Europe who are hard as coffin nails.
Three battalions per group, plus a full Group Support Battalion heavier on the motor transport than normal (reflecting the scarcity of air lift), with four companies per battalion -- three composed of four 18 man COIN teams (basically an ODA with some additional Civil Affairs assets), and one with the normal 6x12 man ODAs, half geared towards reconnaissance and the other half serving as cadre for hatchet teams raised from local militia (or imported from elsewhere if the locals are questionable).
Anyway, would be one way to rope characters into a SOF sort of line of work along the MilGov/New America frontier in the Mountain States.
