Giving this guy special forces is just going to multiply his casuatlies, those of his allies, and civilians unlucky enough to be in his area of operations. It will give his enemies more targets. If he hasn't demonstrated the knowledge of what to do with conventional troops, what makes you think he will figure out how to use special forces? Specops is just a new toy on the shelf.

The ROD isn’t terribly confident in New Canada’s ability to field a special operations force, but we’re not ready to give up on them. We will give 10 of their best NCOs the training and tools to succeed and it will be up to them to apply the lessons. We value determination in our operators, so as long as they are genuinely trying we will keep providing assistance in one form or another. In this case, we are allowing them to participate as part of an ROD squad, not as a Canadian squad.

We’re just taking the NCOs right now. We want seasoned troops that have a higher probability of passing the course and learning the core lessons (Recondo school has a 75% pass rate). Today they are drawing their equipment and weapons. Tomorrow the training cycle will start and it will last until late January. After Recondo school some of our SF guys can give your NCOs a short course on special operations, but it will be nowhere near the training of the full special operations qualification course which is about a year in length. We can spend a week or 2 going over team organization and duties and a general overview of special operations.
Your junior enlisted guys can attend our airborne school before they return to New Canada if you want.

Building a legitimate special operations force takes time. Our special forces qualification course takes a full year – your guys are going through a 2-month recondo school, followed by a very brief, very general overview of special operation. Right now they are still patrolling in the ROD mountains.
Just dropping some special forces into Aleppo isn’t going to solve your problems. Your basic approach is flawed because it seems like you’re expecting the population to see you as a better alternative to Al Kabob. I don’t see any reason why the citizens of Aleppo would think that at the moment.
