Restructuring of Military Chain of Command - More Unified & Streamlined

This has been on the to-do list for a long time now, and that is to reorganize the military so that it is more manageable.  Instead of having different branches for land, air and sea, there should be a unified system that has different branches that are separated by skill.
That way you can break down your forces as small as you need and still have them have all of the capabilities necessary, and you can keep your best with your best and so on for tactical efficiency.
Now, what I thought of was to have a central core type of designation that would be assigned to every unit, like a strong man, this solder would simultaneously be the leader and also the inter-force unifier.
Special forces teams would be made of these individuals, who could pick and choose from the main force for certain missions, which would keep a certain profile to the rank and the way missions assignments were organized.
In this manner, forces could be easily combined and assimilated, with rank and file already being set in a tiered way.  For instance taking Team 1 and Team 2 with the same ranks and then combining them, your Team 2 Captain is below your Team 1 Captain, so on and so forth, which is a big hurdle in some cases.
Special Forces would stay as they are, with perhaps even more options to combine and bring more to the front of the main force, where they should be anyway.  Probably the greatest blunder of Special Forces in some respects has been the compartmentalization and almost moviefication of Special Forces operatives, keeping them removed in some respects from a role befitting of their skills' seriousness.  Just imagine if you could have combo titles, such as Ranger Marine.
