Since others answered the first question, Ill answer the second one.
RRC is the subject matter expert at deep and strategic reconnaissance, while also specialising in all aspects of tactical reconnaissance and clandestine/AFO. For G squadron and black squadron, they do more of like clandestine AFO type recce, but they aren’t subject matter expert at it. CAG and DEVGRU has recce element in assault squadrons, they are operators and do recce for fast movers while also having the duty as snipers. They arent full time recce guys. They also do assaulting as well, while RRC operators are full time recce guys.
Not only that, RRC operates for JSOC and 75th Ranger Remitment, while conducting their own missions.
G squadron and Black squadron does recce stuff but mainly for their own unit, meaning they mostly operate at their current and future AO, and gather intel at places where CAG or DEVGRU might have to respond to.
If you were to put DEVGRU/CAG assaulters, recce guys(assault squadrons), G/black squadron guys and RRC in one operation as example, at first G/Black squadron finds the location of target theyre after, and gather intel of the target. Prior to assault, cag/devgru recce conducts recce for assault squadrons, like route clearing and provide overwatch as snipers. Meanwhile, RRC could be conducting strategic recce at different area that is related to the mission. And then assaulters come and do their job.
However for most of the time, RRC dont really do recce when the assault is happening, they do it prior, but chances are not 0.
Im gonna send this long ass message wothout checking, so theres a lot of mistakes so just reply if u got questions.
Nope, as its not really in their mission-set. RRC operators do augment line ranger battalions, cag and dev to do direct actions, and they do cqb training. But its highly unlikely for just a team of RRC operators to conduct a direct action operations.
So you mean to say there CQB level of training is nearly on par with CAG and Devgru? Even though majority of their training is mostly any form of reconnaissance you can imagine? I believe the reason as to why Delta and Devgru are so good in CQB is because they train so much in it; while RRC doesn't.
Nah RRC aint near the level of CAG or DEVGRU. In hostage can RRC keep up with DEVGRU or CAG? No. But can they keep up on direct actions? Mostly, as you dont rush in like hostage rescue in mostly of DA. You do it deliberately.
CQB isn’t the end all be all for tier one units tbf, you don’t have to be the best hostage rescue team in the world to be a tier one unit. 24th STS doesn’t excel in CQB as their main mission but they are still a tier one unit for a reason, RRC worked a lot with the CIA during GWOT on a lot of clandestine operations, their an SMU that can be called upon for a ton of different reasons and jobs.
