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.
This is a good setup if you want to utilize a lot of brass. I was just thinking that you could use geographic combatant commands that step in to control a Joe task force when it's operating in a certain region of the world, but it looks like that's what you're doing. My Joe organization is very large and I just pretend that yet-to-be-introduced Joes and greenshirts fill in all the positions that all the named Joes are unable to fill due to their limited numbers. My organization is a basically four-star joint command--USJOECOM--that consists of an Army division with each brigade type, an MEB, an NAF of several wings, and an Expeditionary Strike Force made up of a Carrier Strike Group, Expeditionary Strike Group, SUBRON, and other naval units, giving the Joes a lot of mobility and assets to deal with any large threat like Cobra. They're like Delta on steroids!
