The USAF had special forces troops. The Mayaguez Incident losses were 26 USAF, 12 USMC, and 4 USN. The USAF kept first response Special Forces troops at USAF bases in Thailand. The official press releases about the Battle of Koh Tang only released the USMC losses.

No the Air Force has special operations troops just as every branch of the military does, the Special Forces are United States Army.
