Nice, Oliver. I kind of thought your uniform looked heavy on the badges but I guess that was the point. What's the badge above the French Parachutist badge? I couldn't make that one out.
Since I envision the Joes as a Unified Combatant Command containing all branches, I think the Joes from each service would keep their service uniforms and current battle dress. In other words, guys like Torpedo and Wet-Suit belong to SEAL Team 9, which is organic to my USJOCOM, and they wear what they would normally wear in other SEAL Teams in NSWC. I think of the Joes as an elite unit hidden in plain sight. Everyone knows they exist but they simply appear as a heavy version of SOCOM,with a Carrier Stirke Group and Expeditionary Strike Group making up the Navy Component, several Air Force Wings, an Infantry division, and a Globally Integrated Joint Operational Force made of a SEAL Team, Ranger Battalion, Special Forces Battalion, PsyOps and CA Companies, a Special Ops Aviation Battalion, a Special Ops Wing and multinational forces, including units like the Oktober Guard and SAS. They have a little bit of everything!
But I decided that if the Joes, like Delta, don't want to draw attention to themselves, then perhaps it would be best if they wouldn't have distinct uniforms or berets or even a JOE tab, which I was considering making. That's why I asked about the beret color. I thought maybe they should have their own beret and flash and tab like Rangers and Special Forces, but then everyone would know just who they are. I'd rather they blend in, so the SF element keeps its green beret, and the pararescue unit keeps its maroon one, and so on. I'm still considering giving each Joe a Special Qualification Identifier for his nine-digit MOSC--a more discreet distinction.
