in US SOC army, navy and air force has separate command. the chief of this special operations command will be chosen from the best of the best one from three service. in india's J_SOC only army SF officer get higher ranks.
Idk about "best of the best" but yes, they do rotate between army/navy/AF for the head. I think the fact it will be a PARA (SF) general as the head was a compromise as the Indian MoD wanted to operationalise 3 new "joint commands" is Aerospace, Cyber and SF and thus the heads of all three were split between the IAF, IN and IA respectively.
As the PARA ( SF) will be by far the largest componant of the J-SOC I guess it makes sense for the head to be IA SF Intially. Down the road I'm sure things will evolve and change. I'm just happy such a J-SOC will be raised by 2018 in India! It is a dream come true!!
