According to the RFI document, the Army has detailed that it is looking for a weapon that has "the option of fixing on a laser and a high intensity flash light.

Nope, this isn't for SF- this is for regular IA units.I read this exact article from another source and that article had clear pointed out this was for REGULAR IA and that the SFs had their own SEPARATE competition running.
