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.
Sorry if I missed it from earlier in the thread, but I'm trying to include the COPS characters too. Just wondering how you are handling the code names that are duplicated between COPS and Joes? Also, I'm not sure what to do with Checkpoint. I'm trying to keep everything in a 84-87 time range which messes up Beachhead/Checkpoint and COPS being set in the future. I figure I could just use the COPS characters, but tone the tech down so they fit in the 80's and have Beachhead and Checkpoint be older and younger brother rather then father and son.
