Thanks also for all the comments on Audit and Stone. Oliver, love your take on the Marine group and the Intel group I cannot wait to see.
This is how I use the A-Team and other toy line groups..
1960 Joe Colton graduates valedictorian of USMA West Point, commissioned a Lt, he is put into a covert group called Fury Force. Capt Flagg is in charge and becomes his mentor and life long friend.
1963 Last Mission of Fury Force. Colton is promoted to Captain and given his own team by President Kennedy. Code Named GI Joe. His immeadiate superior is now Col Flagg.
1967 John Rambo undergoes SF training with an angry young man named BA Baracas.
1968 Thomas Magnum graduates Annapolis.
Amidst the chaos of the Tet Offensive the GI Joe Team falls, the only survivors are Colton and GI Nurse (Adele Burkhardt).
1969 Colton leads one last mission in Vietnam. A mix of Seals and Green Berets, the team includes; Lt(Jg) Thomas Magnum, John Matrix, Sgt John Rambo, Sgt Dillon, GI Jane (Jane Ann Martelle), Alan 'Dutch' Schaeffer and the son of his mentor Lt Lawrence Flagg jr, Their air support is provided by Lt HM Murdock and Lt Harmon 'Hammer' Raab who is shot down and taken as a POW.
1970 After the last mission a burnt out Colton resigns his commission and joins a group of explorers, scientists and adventurers who undertake missions for the good of humanity called 'The Adventure Team'.
The US Govt creates a team to replace the Joes, Called Alpha Team, Col James Braddock is meant to be the CO but goes MIA.
Alpha team or A-Team is then created with Major John 'Hannibal' Smith as Field CO. He leads a ten man team that includes Lt Templeton Peck, Sgt BA Baracas, Sgt Michael Long and Lt HM Murdock as air support. Capt Flagg is the XO and a Col Trautman is CO.
1972 The team have many successful missions, Col Trautman is sent back to the US after a bout of malaria. Flagg is promoted to Major and joins INSCOM. Col Morrison takes over as CO and the team is tasked with robbing the bank of Hanoi. Realizing that the mission may be their most dangerous yet, Hannibal onlys takes a small team of 3 others. Morrison is murdered and the original details of the mission go missing. They become fugitives.
In the midst of the scandal, the A-Team is disbanded and the members go their separate ways. Thomas Magnum leads an interim team on several missions with mixed Marines, Seals and Green Berets. The team has no official name but is nicknamed 'Magnum Force', Capt TC Carter provides air support.
1973 Trautman comes back and starts the next iteration of the team. Called 'Baker team'
1975 Fall of Saigon Baker team is disbanded and the team go their separte ways.
1976 Col Flagg revisits the Fury Force model made famous by his father, he creates C-Team aka Commando Team. Led by Major John Matrix.
1980 C-Team folds after Col Matrix resigns to raise his daughter, following his wife's death. In its wake a new group is formed Demolition or D-Team led by Major Dutch Schaeffer.
1987 D-Team is massacred during to a mission to Val Verde, the specifics of which are classified.
Lt Col Flagg is soured by continual losses, Col Trautman is tasked with SFOD instead. He creates a new team 'Eagle Force'.
Eagle Force sacrifice themselves to prevent a nuclear war. Their sacrifice is the beginning of the end of the Cold War.
Trautman tries one last gasp at the failing concept and The Forces of Freedom is created. They have several missions before the concept is rested.
A year later, Col Flagg and General Austin revive the Joint Special Forces concept and GI Joe is reborn. The most successful relaunch yet.
Nice work, Tyroc. I don't use all those characters, but you've done a great job of making connections for your Joeverse. Thanks for taking the time to explain how it works.
