At the risk of giving away the plot and details of my fanfic which I'm trying to turn into a Kindle worlds novel, here's how my Joe Team exists..
After what I will call the 'Nanzhao incident' in my book - terrorists gain access to WMD from a failing state and come within a whisper of detonating on US soil, a public outcry causes the then president to commission a report. The commission chaired by ex-JSOC commander Colton concludes that there was no fault by any of the Intelligence agencies or the military but the processes legal, logistical or otherwise can be too slow and terrorists are beginning to understand and work within those constraints. Added to that is the pressures of the GWOT means that the US's CT effort has been concentrated on 'the archer instead of the arrow' and a new unit is needed to complement this effort except it concentrates on 'the arrow, instead of the archer' going after those who would supply and distribute the ways and means of terrorists obtaining WMD (which will put them in the cross hairs of MARS and later COBRA)
In effect this new unit would go after the 'supply' whereas existing Tier 1 units would go after 'demand'.
A new unit is created with spaces and funding left over from the defunct Joint Special Operations Command - Capabilities, using the framework and support agreements, logistic support memorandums of understanding and service level agreements left over from the (as far as I know defunct) Proactive Preemptive Operations Group aka P2OG
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proact...erations_Group
Oversight for this new group is centered in a special operations executive within the National Security Council who will define the national strategy, coordinate policy and enunciate action. In other words, they're the Jugglers.
The new unit will be under the Tactical Control of the NSC thru the deputy National Security Advisor for Counter Terrorism and Counter Proliferation and the administrative control of JSOC, just like the proposed P2OG.
Like any new unit, it initially draws alot of contempt and mistrust at the higher ends of the SOF community as suddenly the new unit will be competing for funding, resources (including personnel) and missions. The Tier 1 units will not be happy losing part of their mission to a newcomer. Thus the new unit is hung with the condescending sobriquet of 'Joe's team or Joe's Guys' which the group adopt as a kind of 'fuck you' and call themselves 'the Joes'.
It's a bit more complicated than that because I've found some of the existing Presidential Policy directives and actual physical spaces within the National Security structure for the Joes to actually exist (at least I like to think so).
I've actually started writing;
1) a fictional strategic paper by Colton that would set the stage for the creation of the Joe Team outlining the key security challenges facing SOF and addressing the critical needs for SOF which will attempt to explain why the Joes have a Space program, fast jets, etc. It's strongly influenced by a paper called
‘Beyond the Ramparts – The Future of US Special Operations Forces’ by Jim Thomas & Chris Dougherty. Center for Strategic & Budgetary Research
Beyond the Ramparts: The Future of U.S. Special Operations Forces |
2) and a short story based on the actual creation - where they find the funding, how they came up with the Table of Distribution and Allowances, the training etc. Strongly influenced by the creation of MCSOCOM DET One in the link I provided a few pages back. The Joes will also include a small HRT element from the FBI and a small CIA element. This part of the team is strongly influenced by the reboot of Tom Clancy's Op Center - Out of the Ashes. A reboot series ghost written by Dick Couch and others.
