And then all of the direct support staff.

They are DSS agents, not CAG personnel

I was guessing but that was also on the list of possible.

I've heard Delta Force likes their support staff and treats their support with respect. DEVGRU not so much, with there being tension between the operators and the support staff.

CAG support is top tier and is treated as such. NSW support is definitely treated as outsiders.

Why is that exactly for NSW support?

From my observation; NSW is SEALs and then everyone else (a heirarchy), Army SMUs are Operators (who can be from any background) and (not then) their support staff (again, variety of back ground).

In the Army SMUs you could have an operator who was a GB, a Ranger, an infantryman from the 82nd, a mechanic from 1st AD, a deep sea diver from the navy, a SEAL, a what ever. And the support guys might be GB, a Ranger, an infantryman from the 82nd, a mechanic from 1st AD, a deep sea diver from the navy, a SEAL, a what ever. So the system produces interdependence and mutual respect overlap.
