I figure the ST/SVs are the first wave, like riot polise. AVs root out any resistance in a city.
Shock-Vipers always sounded cooler as shock-troopers than Incinderary-Troopers, which is how the filecard reads.

I feel like I left out some of the other elite type vipers.

Does this mean he was SF at the time? (remember that prior to 1983, soldiers who joined the SF Groups retained whatever their source MOS was--they were usually infantrymen, but there was also the occasional radio operator or medical corpsman--and simply got a Special Forces SQI appended to their personnel forms) Or was he a non-SF soldier in an SF support role?
I remember we touched on it some time ago, because that made me change Breaker to Special Forces in my book. Plus I bumped him up in rank. He started out as the youngest kid on the team. But the timeline would be all wrong if he were an active member of the military during Vietnam and was still a Corporal 11years later. Plus Special Forces to boot. Still I'm just grabbing the essence of what it meant. I suppose he could have been a linquistic Genius,, and so he was brought in as an interpreter. But I like to think not only is he a linguist, but a badass with a gun as well.
