I read the re-imagined version of Tom Clancy's Op Center recently and it gave me the idea to create a team like yours which are Joe Command / the Jugglers (all the Generals) and the stand alone Joe unit led by;
Commander O6 - Hawk
Deputy Commander - O6 Keel Haul
XO - O5 IDW Firewall
J1 - Major Hidalgo (from the Renegades Cartoon)
J2 - O5 (Haven't decided yet - maybe Hammer Down from the IDW comic)
J3 - O5 Rey or Storm
J4 - Civilian O4 equivalent Billdocker (from IDW)
J6 - Major Sparks
Comptroller - Major Hooper (From ARAH mini series / Baroness Disguise)
Command Surgeon - Major Doc or GI Jane
Training - LTC Guile (From Street Fighters)
The Flag officer Joes form a Special Operations Executive (some are retired military in civilian roles) directly reporting to the National Command Authority. Joe Colton is the Director.
There is some precedence for Special Operations being run outside the normal chain of command. Oliver North ran a few Special Operations out of the National Security Advisor's Office, Donald Rumsfeld ran a ton of secretive units (mostly SIGINT and others) from the SECDEF office during his reign to name a few.
Nice I added Billdocker as well. I am sort of assuming those Higher level officers come from separate Commands but collectively fund and run the Joes as we know them. Support for the Joes is assigned to the theater Commander they are operating in. The Theater commander is usually temporarily replaced by one of the Brigadier Joe Generals that heads each Squadron.
Essentially lets say the Joes need to go to Somalia, part of AFRICOM. The local theater commander might be a Colonel. (Although I think this would be Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa Joint Commmand under a Major General.) Gen Rey shows up and is given temporary command, Because Major General Sharpe who is a Deputy AFRICOM commander says so. Rey and his senior staff set up a headquarters but including the commanders on site. However his Sqaudron, under a Lt. Colonel most likely, gets all the action. Rey is just there to make sure they get all the support they need.
