Stalker, Snake-Eyes, Rock'n'Roll, Zap, Breaker all Green Berets who crossed paths.
Short-Fuze, Clutch Rangers? You have a pretty good set up.
To set Grunt apart maybe make him part of the 1st Brigade Combat Team 4th Infantry Division. This way he has a tie with Steeler, who you might set up as the Deputy team lead or Unit Commander under Hawk.
The 1st Brigade Combat team was in support of C Squadron of Delta when they captured Saddam.
Not sure how old you want to make these guys. But he could have been a Squad Leader, who just finished Ranger School, and was part of Task Force 121 and Operation Red Dawn. Maybe Hawk and Snake-Eyes were part of C-Squadron at the time and saw Steeler and Grunt in Action, and they just know they have what it takes.

Great suggestions! Delta actually exits in my Joe-verse, however, I will not be making any Joe former Delta. The Joe team will be a tier one unit like Delta and DEVGRU but it's main focus is counter-proliferation. I feel a move from Delta to the Joes would be a lateral move. Hawk will definitely be former Special Forces as I feel an officer in that MOS would more likely be placed in charge of a SMU moreso than one in the artillery field.
I like where you are going with the 4th Infantry Division and the tie in with everybody. Nice research on that!

Actually I thought of making Grunt a former 13F (Fire Support Specialist) turned 11B Infantryman but tried to find a plausible excuse why someone would go from a more specialized field to an Infantryman. I think mortar fire controllers are still 11C Indirect Fire Infantryman (unless I am mistaken).

On a different note, do any characters from any faction use M202 Flash rockets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M202_FLASH)> ? I can't think of any, which seems odd given the prominent use in movies like Commando. Seems like it would have been more appropriate for the flamethrower guys than an actual flamethrower, or for some of the combat engineers. Like Tunnel Rat - it would have been a good way to "prep" a tunnel before crawling in.
I think some of the RoC figures came with the M202. It would make more sense for the flamethrower Joes to use that kind of weapon versus a flamethrower in this day and age.
