My Joes are a mix of US forces, foreign forces and male and female all working together. The set-up behind how my Joint Operations Element - Taskforce Omega means that they aren't directly answerable to the UN or the US DoD. They're independent, so they can pull personal from where they want, and they operate worldwide.
Administratively, my Joes are organized in conventional-type units, so for example, Wet Down and Tracker and Torpedo belong to a SEAL Platoon which is part of a Troop, which is part of a SEAL Team, and so on, but they may be plucked from their platoon and assigned to work with Marines, Rangers or other personnel to form a squad-size or larger unit. These task organizations are named according to their size:
A single individual is known as a JO (Joint Operator), pronounced "Joe".
Individuals from various branches operating together as a squad are known as JOES (Joint Operators, Experts, & Specialists). Normally led by a senior sergeant or chief petty officer, the squad may have officers attached as advisors or field specialists.
A JOP (Joint Operating Platoon) is a mixed platoon of 2-5 non-mixed squads of SEALs, Rangers, Special Forces, CCTs, PJs, Marines or other JOES. It is normally led by a Captain or SEAL Lieutenant.
A JOT (Joint Operating Troop) is a mixed troop of 2-5 non-mixed platoons or teams: SEAL platoon, Ranger platoon, SFOD-A, Marine Special Ops Team (MSOT), Special Tactics Team. It is normally led by a Major or SEAL Lt Commander.
A JOS (Joint Operating Squadron) is a mixed squadron of 2-5 non-mixed companies or troops: SEAL Troop, Ranger Company, SFOD-B, MSOC, Special Tactics Detachment, Special Boat Detachment. It is typically led by a Lt Colonel or SEAL Commander.
A JOB (Joint Operating Brigade) is a large mixed unit of non-mixed infantry battalions or squadrons, various aircraft squadrons, and/or small naval vessels: SEAL Team, Special Boat Team, Ranger Battalion, SFOD-C, MSOB, Special Tactics Squadron, FFG, DDG, SSN. It is normally led by a general or flag officer.
A JOF (Joint Operating Force) is the largest mixed group of non-mixed infantry brigades, regiments or groups, aviation wings, and/or naval strike groups. It is normally led by a senior general or flag officer.
JOCOM (Joint Operating COMmand) is the top headquarters, a Unified Combatant Command led by a four-star officer, currently held by General Joe Colton.
*Note: This of course represents by fanfic organization, not my collection, which is obviously much smaller.
