SFOD-D ("Delta Force") template (critique?)

There are E-4s in SFOD-D, but they are support troops. You will not find an operator who is that low of a rank. They have to prove themselves quite thoroughly to even be invited to try out for SFOD-D. This means some time in service, and rank. If there are any below E-6 I'd be surprised. If you've ever watched The Unit you'll note that just about everyone is a Master Sergeant.

Remember that in 4e the Soldier skill covers a LOT of ground. For instance, it lets you use your own army's standard commo equipment. Electronic Operations (Communications) is a much more broad skill, giving decent defaults for using everything from a Russian R-123 to a microwave tower to an ELF relay. And, I would presume, gives a decent Morse Code default.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if SFOD-D does in fact teach that broader skill. But you still might be able to use Soldier to save points.

I'd be shocked if they all didn't have SCUBA and Parachuting (HALO).

Do you think Area Knowledge (Every Modern Airliner Model) would be a valid skill? :)
