Read up on the Battle of Qala-i-Jangi.

The course of the uprising was dramatically reversed, and the life of a CIA Officer undoubtedly saved when a mixed force of some 15 American SF and British SBS turned up and took decisive action to suppress the prisoner uprising.

They fought for 24 hours until another small force of American soldiers turned up and also pitched into the battle..

The point is that regardless of nationality and cap badge, these were all professional soldiers of the highest calibre and the impact of their arrival on the battle was many times greater than their numbers would have suggested..
