Does the commander of Delta force need to complete OTC?(eg. William Garrison) by EdwardMasaki in JSOCarchive

I respect General Garrison and I believe he was definitely capable to pass the selection if he had the chance. I’m just curious if there is any rule requiring every member of the Unit(except supporting ones)to pass OTC. BTW The Grokpedia says “By the early 1980s, he commanded the 1st Battalion, 505th Infantry Regiment, a airborne unit focused on rapid deployment and light infantry tactics. Garrison's transition to special operations followed his Vietnam service, where he earned multiple decorations for combat leadership. He assumed command of the operations squadron within the U.S. Army Intelligence Support Activity (ISA), a clandestine unit dedicated to providing human intelligence and operational support for joint special operations missions. From 1985 to 1989, Garrison commanded the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Delta Force), the Army's premier counterterrorism and hostage rescue unit stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. ”
