Here's a key paragraph concerning Special Forces:

Collectively, they operate in some 130 countries, speak about 15 different languages and hold higher-level positions than conventional soldiers of the same rank. And unlike most soldiers, their primary mission is not as combatants but as teachers to soldiers and civilians in Third-World nations around the world.

Bear that in mind because I think uw can explain how Special Forces people interact with other armed forces as teachers and professional colleagues in very effective ways.
