I'm simply saying that the AF Battle Files from the comic list that Hawk had formally worked with "Delta Force". And that he commanded the American Counterpart to Action Force. Also, there were several other AF characters who came from an SAS background: Footloose, Outback, Beach-Head, etc. I'm just saying that according to the Action Force Battle Files that were printed in the comic, it seems that Delta Force is mentioned as a separate organization. So is the SAS, but that was the case in the American comic as well.
But if AF was an asset of the Ministry of Defense, then wouldn't it be an echelon above the SAS or SBS? Doesn't the SAS/SRR come under the purview of the British Army, and the SBS come under the purview of the Royal Navy/Marines?
That's the argument I'm making about the American understanding of G.I. Joe... it should be an asset of the Department of Defense, not come under any one of the Branches. There are certain technical, and legal concerns that would be different for the Joes as a DoD asset, rather than coming under the purview of the Department of the Army, for example.
But I'm not an expert on Action Force, by any means. So perhaps there's other information from the AF comic that I don't understand. I probably need to go over to Blood for the Baron and just read all the comics. I've enjoyed the ones I have read.
Isn't GI Joe described as Special Counter-Terrorist Group Delta, which doesn't necessarily make them SFOD-D, but I see them operating in a similar format. In fact, I'm re-imagining them as D-Force's friendly competition. When JFK tasked Colton to create an elite unit, he initially teams up with Beckwith but because their ideas and personalities differ greatly, they eventually split and Colton goes on to form GI Joe with the help of Hawk and others while Beckwith creates D-Force.
