OPCON is a derivative (Of COCOM) authority that, in a simple form, refers to a commander's authority to reorganize forces based on mission requirements. It is very common for SF operators (And others) to be "Opconned" out in support roles. The 18th Infantry has been around a long time. Based on the writing in your OP, I'm thinking you might have paraphrased the "Division" part.

Whether he was or wasn't actually in, who knows? Some guys brag a little, some don't. Maybe he was full of it, maybe he wasn't, but you had a chance there to support a potential Brother who might have needed it.
