Depending on Special ops and negating conventional COIN has a very serious disadvantage. It gives the enemy freedom of movement (as Spl ops are not continuous), to intimidate the population. Where as regular COIN deployment strangulates the enemies freedom of movement and provides security and instils faith (for the govt) within the people.

Spl ops works better in an urban guerilla environment than in semi-urban or adverse environment.
