Article says SF assist teams. Could be trainers, or more than that.

err no. they get trained here. even then most US SF sent to India failed to complete the courses.

Any cite for that? USASOC might like to know about that if it doesn't already. Shoot me a PM if you have some hard data to share.

I welcome US special forces in India if they are helping us out, and imparting us training, they are some of the finest soldiers on this planet. No harm in learning from the best.

There is a complete lack of understanding in the forum as to the nature, roles and functioning of US special forces.
Suffice it to say the US Special forces work more like intelligence teams rather than a military organisation let loose to capture a target. Their objectives are lucrative and sensitive and their role is to work as force multipliers and enable someone else to neutralise or destroy their objectives. They operate in very small numbers and not in large teams in clandestine missions.

Something like keeping Osama House under observation and finally directing others including air assets on to that house or if need be, assassinate themselves.
