I separate the Army, Air Force, and Navy/Marines into three commands, each commanded by the senior representative from that Branch. Sub-teams are different. They all fall under Special Operations Command. If a Joe team member is a member of a Sub-Team, that team member's duty station is with that Sub-Team unless specifically/specially directed otherwise. If a Joe is listed on 2 or more sub-teams, a priority or 'normal' status has been given to one assignment. For example, Stalker is both on Tiger Force and the Desert Patrol Squad. I have made the decision that the Priority for Stalker is the DPS, and he can aid Tiger Force if they need it.
Hawk: Overall Commander-in-Chief
-Flint: General's Staff Warrant Officer of G.I. Joe (CW-5)
-Duke: General's Staff Command Sargent Major of G.I. Joe (E-9)
-Flint and Duke operate where ever they are need/directed to Command/advise. They work as the Right and Left hand of Hawk throughout the G.I. Joe chain-of-command and are able to mingle/work with the Sub-teams seamlessly because they are qualified in nearly all the Sub-teams/specialties.
Keel-Haul: Navy/Marine Commander
- Cutter is X-O (Executive Officer)
Keel-Haul commands the U.S.S. Flagg and all aircraft and personnel stationed aboard (Marines, SEALs, and Slaughter's Marauders - unless command of the SEALs or S.M's is Superseded by Spec. Ops Command).
PayLoad: Air Force Commander
-Ace is X-O for Fixed Wing Aircraft
-Wild Bill is Warrant Officer for Helicopters
Gen. Flagg (Son of Original Gen. Flagg): Army Commander
-Colonel Courage is X-O
-Rock & Roll is Army Command Sargent Major
-Captain Grid-Iron is C-O of Infantry Forces and personally leads the Ranger/LRRP Unit
-Lt. Steeler is C-O of Armor
-Major Barrage is C-O of Artillery
-Major Storm is C-O of Logistics
-Major Bullet-Proof is C-O of Urban Warfare/Police Operations: coordinates w/ Steel Brigade and Spec Ops.
Gen. Colton is overall Commander of Special Operations which includes Intelligence, all the Sub-teams (Night Force, Tiger Force, Sky Patrol, etc.), and Special Operations Air Support.
-Lt. Colonel Sure-Fire is X-O in charge of Intelligence/Sub Teams
-Lt. Colonel Sky Striker is X-O in charge of Special Operations Air Support
Captain Falcon is the C-O of all Sub-Teams and leads Night Force
-Sgt Major Beach-Head is Commander of Tiger Force
-First Sgt. Sky Dive Commands Sky Patrol
Sargent Major Gung-Ho Commands Steel Brigade (Urban Warfare)
-Sargent Major Stalker Commands Desert Patrol Squad
-Sargent Major Slaughter Commands Slaughter's Marauders (Stationed on U.S.S. Flagg).
-Chief Torpedo Commands the SEALs (Stationed on the U.S.S. Flagg)
-Winter Operations Team is ad hoc
-It should be noted that every Special Team has an Intelligence Operative in it's ranks.
Note: There is NO Eco-Force, Mega Marines, Star Brigade, Street Fighter, Dino-Hunters, or any other CRAP Sub-team in my chain-of-command.
Major Claymore is commander of all Intelligence/ Black Ops.
Any individual Intelligence Operative works for this office.
-Lady Jaye is Claymore's NCOIC (Basically his First Sgt.)
-Chuckles, Mace, Agent Faces, Storm Shadow, Super Trooper (Eagle), Rapid Fire, Low Light, and the Renegades work out of this office.
Night Force (and Ghost Squad) is generally given assignments from this office, which Falcon oversees personally.
This system was worked out in coordination with my Brother. I'm sure it's not perfect, but we haven't found a flaw in it yet. It works really well for us. Granted, it's pretty complex and I'm a little OCD, but the military runs on good organization and since our collection is quite large, we need a good system.
Your command structure is very well-organized and thoroughly detailed, but I was wondering about the arrangement of your sub-teams. Any examples of an aerial assault or amphibious assault team? Desert Patrol? Arctic?
