Thinking of adding vehicle entries to the GIJOE document. Obviously, there won't be any "VAMPs" or "Skystrikers" or whatever, but real world stand-ins for the common Joe vehicle types: a wheeled automotive tactical transport, a combat rubber recon craft equipped with an outboard motor, maybe some sort of utility transport aircraft organic to the GIJOE unit for limited tactical airlift (that last one will require some organizational re-jiggering to accommodate, although I think I've hit upon a way to include organic aircraft without the Joe team being overwhelmingly made up of aircraft maintenance personnel).
I'm thinking the Joe team would operate COTS vehicles instead of standard DoD-vetted vehicles, as that approach fits within the philosophy of GIJOE not being bogged down by contractor politics and acquisitions bureaucracy. So say, instead of a C-130, the Joe team would instead have an Antonov An-26 (less conspicuous in hostile territories). Instead of fuel-guzzling and conspicuous Humvees, maybe they drive militarized Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen 290 utility vehicles (similar to the IFAVs used by the USMC Force Recon Companies or the Command & Reconnaissance G-Wagons used by the Canadian, German, Australian and Danish forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere) or modified Toyota Tacoma/Hilux pick-up trucks (similar to the ones allegedly used by various special operations units in Afghanistan and Iraq).
What do you guys think?
