Yes, they have a lot of troops that they designate "special operations" troops. For the most part, though -- and I'm not letting any classified cat out of the bag here -- their "special operations troops" are simply well-trained infantry with additional training in infiltration and rear-area ops, similar to US light infantry forces. Most of their "special ops" troops are simply light fighters, in essence.
