What's your objective? Ray's was for a raid. SapperSarge's was to outflank in order to relieve pressure on his company. So the question is not whether it can be a central part of an army operating offensive, but what is the nature and objectives of such an offensive? If it is to make small cross border raids, then sure you could probably have quite a few independent operating companies try that out. It might work for some and not for others. But what if you're trying to take ground? What if you have a schedule that you're trying to meet? It all depends on what you're trying to do. Once you got that figured out, only then do you go about determining how you will do it.
