On one hand I can see the point, but on the other hand the group would quickly realize that staying with their Command would be beneficial. It is only to the point where said Command has become so weakened that they can no longer provide the need security and support for the unit to operate they would just might go into operation for themselves, or go looking for someone who would be willing to 'pay' for their services.

In other cases, I can see this group taking control of a Command. It part of the reason why when you create such a group, especially in the T2K world there needs to be a balance of things. You want a group who can perform their duties, but also that relies on other to. I can see many of the 'specialists' in these teams coming from excess Naval and Air Force personnel where they don't have the 'Infantry combat' background where they would be more than willing to stay with the Command instead of go off on their own.
