^Actually, anyone from Assossiate Special Class and up can be assigned to hunt an SS rated ghoul.

According to Ishida, a Special Class matches the ability of an S+ ghoul (like Tsukiyama, Yamori w/o kakuja, and part 1 Ayato). To defeat an SS rated ghoul you need multiple Special Classes, or, as is usually the case, a Special Class and his squad, who usually have people with Special Class-level of skill.

In fact, Arata armours were developed with the explicit purpose of allowing investigators to keep up with SS and SSS rated ghouls. That's evident since SS and SSS are ghouls who usually have combat training and a lot of experience, on top of being very athletic. With ghouls being 7 times stronger and faster than humans, it's obvious that a normal human would need something like the Aratas to get the boost necessary to be able to keep up with them.
