I read part of the book by that Pugliese fellow. He wrote that one of more significant differences between elite soldiers and the regular forces is the budget per person on live ammo for training. It seems so simple.
There is nothing secret about urban environment tactics and physical fitness but when you can fire live ammo all day everyday from all positions and in all environments you are probably going to be a better marksman then anybody else.
Obviously there is a ton of attributes that make an elite soldier "elite" but some of the more simple reasons are the most significant.
