Better way to reorganize this list visually?

For those who help maintain this article frequently (as well as any other viewers who may see this), I was thinking we could probably improve the readability of the article by converting the list entries into a standardized table format. Here's an example I'd suggest:

Special Forces Units
Nation	Service Branch	Parent Command	Unit
Lebanon	Lebanese Army Ground Forces	Lebanese Armed Forces Special Operations Command	Lebanese Commando Regiment (aka "Ranger Regiment")^[1]^[2]
Mexico	Mexican Army	Special Forces Corps^[3]	Special Reaction Force
	Mexican Navy^[4]		Amphibious Special Forces Group
