GI Joe itself would be a very tiny part of the RDF. It'll change in size as time goes along to also reflect the growing toy and comic book roster, but it'll never be larger than a small Army infantry-centric company with IAs from the Navy, Marines, and Air Force. Some members will rotate out to serve in other units, some will separate from the service or retire (and a few will re-enlist), and some will die. It's the Steel Brigade that I'm sort of iffy about (if I choose to include it at all). I'm thinking at some point in the timeline, control of the Joe team would pass from the RDF to CENTCOM (maybe in the mid-1980s?), to reflect the former being supplanted by the latter.

Operation Desert Sabre was the so-called "100 hour war" waged in parts of Kuwait and Iraq from 24 February 1991 to 28 February 1991 (it was a real thing), as part of the larger Operation Desert Storm. But yeah, I'm sort of substituting/admixing real-world conflicts with the major events in the comics to lend the whole thing more historicity (in this case, I plan on writing that Cobra operatives were hired by the Ba'athist Iraq-backed Provisional Government of Free Kuwait to supplement their meager and undertrained troops, and that's how the Joes and Cobra ended up facing off during the Persian Gulf War).
