My last campaign was based around a core group of SF characters and the CO of the unit went out of his way to recruit/have transferred to his command other personnel with SF training. The majority of the unit were not SF troops. At the unit's height (back in the CONUS) the CO divided his SF types into teams of 7 to 10 men each based on specialty, but due to the difficulty of finding suitably trained personnel there were men pressed into roles they weren't specifically trained for. Also some of them were in the CONUS because they had been injured during the war and brought home for extended treatment.

For instance the "Blue" team was nominally Major Po's SEAL group but only three were actual SEAL operators (the team's CO was also PO's XO and he was a SEAL, a Master CPO who was a Vietnam-era SEAL who had been brought out of retirement and another SEAL who had been injured early in the war and had mostly recovered from his injuries) and the rest were SDV, SBU and Coast Guard boarding action specialists as well as a UK SBS operator.

The "Green" team was made up of a handful of USMC recon, Scout-Sniper and FAST troops with marine-type troops from several other nations as well (including a British Royal Marine Commando and a Filipino Marine recon specialist).

The "Black" team had a few US Army SF types mixed in with the only Delta operator the group ever encountered, SF troops from both Panama and Pakistan and a Sayeret Matkal operator who was an Ethiopian Jew.

Po also had a "Red" team consisting of men who had completed the Ranger course, a former SWAT team member and experienced front line combat personnel (infantry, cav and others).

The "Gold" team was a catch-all team for personnel with rare/important specialties such as a USAF F-15 pilot, a South African chopper pilot, a USN Corpsman, a USAF dog handler, an Army intel officer, a signals specialist and a number of technicians and engineers among others.
