I don't think the Rogues Guild counts, sure they're an elite force that does sneaky things but they're not related to the Maelstrom at all, they're their own separate thing with their own mission which is to police pirates and make sure they're not hurting La Noscea. As can be seen they even tend to butt heads with the Yellowjackets.
In short, if the theme of an elite force is all you're going for, they would likely apply but if it's official GC related unit that's 'special forces' they would not. That's just of course my opinion so take that as you will!
The thing about that is, and it's even acknowledged directly by the Yellowjackets, is that they are directly under the Admiral's heel, just not recognized publicly as such. While they're not officially part of the Maelstrom structure, technically, neither are the Yellow-jackets, but both are under the jurisdiction of Merlwyb. But, neither are recognized as the GC proper, that's why I said closer to Secret Ops.
That's about as close to elite forces as you're going to get in Limsa, their structure is very loose. An alternative idea is perhaps be part of a Pirate Crew directly under her command, which would put them in the Crimson Fleet - but they're not known as ground forces, at least, not in any knowledgeable lore.
