Back in the Vietnam era, the XO was a First Lieutenant rather than a Warrant Officer.
So the Ops Sergeant probably requires some prior experience as some other kind of sergeant.

Ok- I do remember coming across that now- thanks man 
Again- the game has full rules for rank and gaining rank.
Depending on how realistic the GM wants to go- he could include all those as NPCs, filling in PCs where they have the rank and skills necessary, or he could just have the PCs make due with what they have.

I always thought a "split A-team" would be the way to go --- a Captain, a senior NCO for Ops/Intel, and one each of the others. Six is about right for most gaming groups.
But yeah, definitely stat out the rest of the team, even if you habitually split up the PCs from the NPCs. That way you always have a new character handy if someone dies [which is why there's so much duplication in specialties in a real-life A-team].

I can see that
I tried to give people all the tools I thought they would need/want to either run a military campaign (starting at first level) through a special ops campaign (which would start at 5th level or higher).
Obviously one could become the other as well
My playtest group started in the 82nd airborne and has recently become Rangers.
