Not necessarily.  Ranger companies were at D-Day, and the 1st Special 
Service Force held a chunk of the line at Anzio.  Even discounting any 
historical instances, well, needs must when the devil drives.  If you
need 
bodies to fill a hole (Battle of the Bulge, frex), you get them where
you 
can.  Anyway, it sounds like it could be a fun scenario, if properly
designed.

Can't argue that.
