2. I can't believe no one has ever done a Fictional Strategic Paper for GIJoe as just a fun read. (WELL I BET ZULU HAS MULTIPLE TIMES), but just as a piece of Joe fiction just to add to the lore. You never know where that would go, but you should plant all kinds of little easter eggs in there like Maj. Tyroc as the first XO or something.
3. If you are including a small FBI and CIA element will you be repurposing Joes? If so which ones? Bullet-Proof, Bullhorn, Mace?
In terms of easter eggs, when the Joe unit is conceived and planned, I've used the names of the Hasbro / Marvel people who actually created the Joes. There are a few customs of Ron Rudat, Larry Hama etc done for semi-official cons so I'll be using them, plus the fact that Larry himself appeared in ROC as a NATO General and Herb Trimpe routinely added 'MSgt Herb Trimpe' or something to various ARAH covers as a crew chief (which is funny, because I recall him actually being in the Air Force as a weather man).
As for the FBI and CIA, the FBI element will be the COPS characters and the CIA will be Larry Hama's SPOOKS characters. That's what I'm envisioning anyway. It'll be awhile to go. I've written the prequel and most of the first book which centers around the JOE unit having recently been stood up and a small team is sent on its first mission before it's even completed its first Capability Exercise (CAPEX) which is a no-no but because they're under the direct control of the President and the National Security Council, they can bypass the usual restrictions based on a Presidential Directive.
There is precedent to this as well, during the early days of the GWOT numerous small sensitive organizations were created and run either thru the NSC (mostly SIGINT) or directly thru the Pentagon under the Defense Secretary.
