Really interesting take on it, and one I haven't considered before. Is there a name for this "military situation"? Sounds interesting and logical, at least from a military perspective.
The thing I'm thinking is: In the military, roles and units of soldiers/ops are very clearly defined: The purpose of the unit, the actions that individuals within the unit execute, etc. So I would imagine that special-forces calibre people would not often show up in more elementary troops and/or they'd make promotion, shift upwards/side-ways to somewhere where their skills would be a better match to the goal of the unit.
In business teams you usually have much more variance in requirements on the team, the individual members, their skills and knowledge, and oftentimes also much more variance in capabilities per team member (possibly related to the fact that the missions for these teams are not always clear-cut and the fact that the teams have to handle widely varying stuff from moment a to b). I think that for smaller businesses this variance is even higher as compared to teams in larger corporations.
Regardless, I think it is damn interesting to look at what armies do organization- and skill-wise, I've never looked at that more in-depth.
