Before we delve further into the syntax of the file cards and the vocabulary skills of 7-9 year olds, I'd like to talk with Troynos about his chain-of-command.
I think the structure you choose to use should be based on the number of Joes you have to use. I have a large collection - you might even say a VERY large collection. So, I treat the Joe Team like it's a miniature version of the Department of Defense. I divide it into the Navy/Marines, Army, Air Force, and Special Ops Command. That system works for me because it gives me an organized way to place all my Joes and vehicles.
If you have a smaller size collection, a system like mine wouldn't make any sense. You may want to go with a smaller unit of specialists who can be stationed around the globe. Each unit could sort of be self contained and self sufficient. That's certainly a good way to do it.
My system had to be developed because I looked around one day and realized how much stuff I have and I'm kind of crazy about sticking to the Joes qualifications and specialties. So, I had to develop a large chain-of-command.
But I've seen how other guys use their Joes. Loose Cannon seems to have a good system that works for him. He uses Duke as an O-8... That's not my system, but it works for him based on the size of his collection (number of figures and number/type of vehicles).
The main question in organizing your Joes is: Does this chain of command offer the greatest Mission Capability? However you have to work that out based on the parameters of your resources is fine. I think it would be very hard for me to offer any more concrete suggestions simply because I don't know what you have available.
