1. They ask for us by name. They know what "Green Berets" can do and our history - it is seen as an honor to them. ..And to us as well - as we usually will be working with the best soldiers that country has to offer. If you tell them a squad from the USCJFFIDD, or whatever is going to train them... doesn't carry the same weight.

2. There are no BS FID assignments - at least not in the very important opinion of the host nation. These missions come down from the Starfleet level and we may not have a full understanding of the diplomatic ramifications, but there are reasons why we are in some countries and not others.

3. When you are brought in to conduct a FID mission, you are ambassadors representing the Regiment, the Army, and the government of the United States. You will be meeting with the leaders of that country's military and government. Who would you rather have - "Quiet Professionals" or Pvt Joe Snuffy?
