Now, Gung-ho (steel brigade) I felt was more of a temporary assignment. Had it been Falcon in russia or Duke, I think that's who would have been tapped.
As far as Steel Brigade goes...I've always viewed them as First Responder...example...a US embassy is underseige. Steel Brigade will be sent in to extricate. Or they may parachute into an enemy airfield talk over and create security so the joe can start using it as a base of operation for more direct contacts with Cobra further in country. Or they may even do base security in war zones. like the way the Army MPs were doing during the beginning of the Iraq war. Kinda like super MP Greenshirts.
That's what I get from their mission statement. They are like super Greenshirts...almost like "well you didn't make Joe but I have a position here that can lead to you becoming a Joe without being a greenshirt again." So Rook, Checkpoint, and Red Zone has Just become full blown joes. Also it could be argue that checkpoint is really the only true MP while Red Zone can be attached to a Urban Fighters sub-team that isn't MP related and Rook could be a intel agent specializing in interrogating POWs in the field.
Also if you read the file card for the Paratrooper and commander from the convention...it kinda gives a mission statement. It makes it out to seem that the Joes action draw too much attention but steel brigade are even more covert. They go in before the joes get the lay of the land and facilitate the Joe's mission.
