WRT the US Army, Special Forces are mostly used and envisioned as both an unconventional training cadre as well as a field level liason force for communication and coordiation indigenous forces. Rangers are LRRP/Raider types, and Delta is our commando force.
PS: Aideed was
not the target of the semi-disastrous(though still succesful) mogadishu raid. Several of his top deputies were. (5 of them IIRC, 4 of whom were succesfully captured).
