Happy New Year to you as well Tyroc!
Great explanations on the role of combat engineers in specops units! I actually have different scenarios going on with my Joe structure. One is structured similar to a Marine Expeditionary Unit and the other as more like Delta Force. The Joe combat engineers are assigned to my Combat Engineer Platoon in my MEU structure but I am on the fence where to put them in my Delta structure. Are they assaulters in one of my Sabre Squadrons (and maybe act as a breacher on one of the Troops) or do they go to the Combat Support Squadron as Heavy Breachers? I think we had this discussion with medics a while back (function as an assaulter or as a medic).
My list of combat engineers (12B):
Zap (82)
Tollbooth (85)
Tunnel Rat (87)
Dynamite (95)
Freight (95)
Sean “Side Track” McLaughlin (00)
Crossfire (01)
Wreckage (03)
18C MOS:
Snake-Eyes (82) (To explain his "underwater demolitions" skill)
Ripcord (84) (To explain why he is trained in both demolitions and MFF)
Static Line (90)

which are blended JSOC / CIA teams (Hammer Team from DDP and the Extreme guys) supported by CIA Special Activities personnel like Agent Anderson and Cullen Esterhazy. Some of those contractors I can use as stand ins for some CIA security goons from IDW called Chip, Trip and John John from GI Joe Origins #8 and some of the SAD personnel from ARAH # 225
I'll be using the TV show 'The Brave' as inspiration for the Omega team organization and 13 Hours for the SAD Ground Branch / Global Response Staff organization.
I totally agree the Joes need a CIA presence to justify some of their missions (such as operating in a country that the U.S. has not declared war on). Basically I use the "Ninja Force" as my CIA operatives. They are not trained as ninjas though, just involved in sneaky missions that their ability to get in and get out unseen is akin to a ninja.
