Bruce, what do you think a special forces brigade does?

Operate outside of the main line TO, utilizing small unit tactics, taking on small unit-sized targets of high value require higher training (and in this instance) a sizable TL advantage compared to the main forces. Mixed in with the main forces the TL-16 units present logistical and supply issues of mixed TL support.

Pretty much how certain US special forces (Delta, Seals) operate. They even have their own command structure, JSOC. 

Thus would allow the commander of the Imperial forces to leverage a small number of TL16 troops to the greatest advantage versus simply employing them in the main line of battle.
