In the episode "Uninvited," SG-25 appeared to be wearing the U.S. Army ACUPAT digital camoflage. Could this be the oft-requested Army presence at the SGC?

Now all they need is navy taking over the 304's.Never, never, never believe any war will be smooth or easy...
... or that any man can measure the tides and hurricanes he will
encounter on the strange journey.
Spoiler:
2 Cor. 10:3-5
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; )
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Rangers and Marines are better suited for the type of operations the SGC handle.

Originally posted by USMCgruntWhy wouldnt SEAL's be good for the SGC? They operate in small units. The SG teams are small units. They are experts at covert tactic's. The SG teams use allot of covert tactics. The list could go on. Honestly I dont see the Rangers being a good candidate for a SG team. It would more likely be green berets or delta force. I spent 2 years as a part of 2nd Force Recon and worked with SEAL's, Army SF, Royal Marines etc. I can see where the green berets would have allot to bring to the table at the SGC.

It's like when SEAL teams were assigned to take Noriega's plane during the invasion of Panama. That's not their speciality... but they did it successfully but with several KIA and more wounded. That type of mission is more meant for the Rangers maybe even Airborne.
How could Rangers not be a good candidate for an SG team? They are the Army's elite Light-Infantry unit... they are perfectly suited for operations that the SGC deal with.
The Green Berets are in a similar situation as Navy SEALs... they could certainly do the job but that's not what they are meant for. They are meant for training indigenious forces to fight the enemy.
All be it... they are better suited for missions that could teach people how to fight the Ori or Goa'uld. But there is no evidence that the SGC does this...
Delta Force is all about Counter-terrorism... however I'll admit that I don't know much about them as a unit, so I'll just take your word for it.

Originally posted by USMCgruntYou are overlooking a big factor here. The Army Rangers are nothing more than highly trained line infantry soldiers.
Originally posted by USMCgruntThey are meant for taking airfields and big objectives. They do their job very well I might add. The SGC is all about SMALL UNIT WARFARE. The Rangers operate on the regiment level. Now if we had a big fight that we need allot of troops then I can see where the Rangers would come into play maybe but then again we already have the SGC Marines that are more than capable of taking care of that.
Originally posted by USMCgruntThe Army Green Berets are not just for training others to fight. When I was part of OEF in Afghanistan my Recon platoon worked very closely with Army SF and we did a heck of allot more than train friendly Afghans to fight.
Just as Navy SEALs speciality is in attacking units near water. Most military units see water as an obstacle... whereas SEALs see it as a haven.
Originally posted by USMCgruntI think the Green Berets would be much more suited than the Rangers to do the work that the SGC does. The same goes for the Navy SEAL teams. They are small units that are very capable at what they do.
Most Green Beret and SEAL missions are designed to destroy enemy strongholds or distrupt enemy supply lines or communications. They handle very specific tasks with a great deal of intelligence (not always, but certainly most of the time)
Most missions the SGC handle have to deal with recon and exploring and occasionally getting into a scuffle.
I personally feel that this type of missions are more suited to small Ranger units... I'd like to continue the discussion but I'm dead tired from events earlier in the day. I'll will be back on tomorrow...
Good conversation!!
