What was said
"On your typical assault on however many people in a 4-story compound, 12 people, 12 people, you can do anything. You don't need a lot. You just need 12 really badass dudes. They can get it done. Just let them loose."
When asked how many Tier 1 operators would be needed to topple a mid-sized regime, Shipley said 12 elite special operators could accomplish nearly any mission if given supporting assets like helicopter pilots and air coverage. He compared it to putting an all-star team on a Super Bowl field but noted the total number of Tier 1 operators globally is extremely small—somewhere between astronauts and F1 drivers.
