These days it don't seem to matter who or where your trained to be a Infantryman. Your going to find yourself at the pointed end anyway.
As has been said most blokes who do the AACC are from units like the RA, RE, Royal Sigs, REME, RLC, Plus a smatering of blokes from the odd infantry unit, normally Commisioned Ranks, 40CDORM had a Lt/Capt from the Argyle and Southerland Highlanders to keep alive the fact that during WW2 the Bootneck detachments from the the Renown and Prince of Wales were amalgamated with the remains of this Unit in Singarpore after those two ships were sunk at the start of the war with Japan.
As to the Rifles becoming Cdo trained. Some NCO's as far as I am aware have done the AACC, but as to whether they will ever become a fully intergrated part of 3 CDOBDRM I know not.
