Basically, Officers in my Sub-Teams aren't permenantly assigned. My Sub-Teams all fall under my JOE-SOC (Special Operations Command). There's a LOT of overlap, obviously. So, some of the enlisted guys only appear on the roster of one Sub-Team... those are the guys listed as permenantly assigned to that sub-team. Take Crazy Legs for example. He's only in Night Force. Wild Bill, on the other hand, is in both Night Force and Tiger Force, so he's a floater. He works for whichever team needs him at the time.
Flint is the CW-5 for the entire Joe Team. He shows up in whichever uniform he needs to. He's on every team. Same for Duke as the CSM for the entire Team. SO, yeah, Duke and Flint are on Tiger Force, but they only show up there when they've got work to do with Tiger Force... "Hey Guys, here's your tasking from higher. We're here to make sure everything gets done, and all the objectives are met, and maybe even collect some intel we can't really tell you about." That sort of thing.
Falcon is the "go to" Captain for any Special Operations team. He goes where he's needed. He's like the "Company Commander" and all the Sub-Teams are his platoons. He's got a uniform for all of them.
Claymore is a ghost. That guy shows up like the wind. Invisible. Blows your house down. Was never there. He shows up, takes charge and gets what needs to get done, done. And then he's gone. So, yeah, he works with Tiger Force alot, cause he's really good in the Jungle (Mission Brazil), but then he might be sent to Sandboxistan next month to work with a group of Joes in the desert. Or he might show up in Eastern Europe to help a group of Action Force Joes smuggle arms to the Russion Resistance in the Ukraine... but no one ever heard of him.
I use Rapid-Fire similarly. He's a little more Commando and a little less spy than Claymore, but they're similar.
I use Officers like Sub-Zero, or Grid-Iron almost exclusively with conventional forces. Sub-Zero runs the Joe's cold-weather unit. Blizzard's the 1SG, Snowjob, Frostbite, Iceberg, etc... they're all the Operators for Cold Weather climates. But that's a niche'. Sub-Zero doesn't take off his coat and go help out in the tropics. Sub-Zero stays put.
Grid-Iron the same way. He's the Commander of the
"Ranger/airborne shock troops". He's a great Infantry Leader, and he does his job. Stays put. With his unit. Solid leader... but he might have his Rangers deployed and waiting around for an assignment one day, and Rapid-Fire shows up with a special tasking and takes 3 Rangers with him to complete an objective that's time sensitive, and then Rapid-Fire's gone to the next assignment.
I hope that makes sense. I've got some customs in the pipeline of some of these guys and I think they're going to be fun.
