At the same time, I think you're right about the need for specialized teams... Special Forces does the same thing: they have three types of A-Teams: HALO, Scuba, and Ruck teams.
On your Arctic Team - Sub Zero is the only Officer who is an artic Specialist. Blizzard is an excellent First SGT. for a Warrant Officer, you might think about Snow Job - you'd have to promote him, but he's the guy who comes to mind as the best "technical expert" in the field. Just a theory.
Your choice of types of teams seems really solid to me. And one thing that I think we may all overlook from time to time is that fact that G.I. Joe would probably have to rely on the greater strength of the real Armed Forces from time to time. A HISS tank division is still a TANK DIVISION. It might be time to call in 1st Cav at that point.
I completely agree with you about paying closer attention to the Joe Armor and Artillery... you should see my combat engineer unit.
Yeah There is no doubt the joes would need to rely on the regular army to fight Tank battles. But where or how could even Cobra Deploy HISS tanks en masse? I feel like if you show up with a Tank you're looking for a fight. There is no sneaking around. But then when/ where would cobra be deploying tanks? I don't think Tanks really fit in with Terrorist attacks. Now lets say that Cobra as a sovereign nation exercises its rights to protect its friends/failed nation states, then they might use HISS tanks. At that point there would then be a need for the Joes to require an Armor Squad of some type.
I don't know how it works best. I pretend that Cobra is more than just a terrorist organization. They are somewhat of a mercenary Army as well. Lets say some unpopular dictatorship has a civil uprising to quell and blood Diamonds or Drug Money, or black market based corrupt government that can pay for it. Who do you call? Cobra! And as the world governments try to put their heads together to pen out a cease fire, Cobra has ruthlessly and quickly put down the resistance. A few of the more modern countries complain, but 61 nations of the UN, say "In your face America you bloated imperialist pigs!" So Cobra suffers no retribution from the world.
This is where Serpentor Fits in. He would probably be the best General for Cobra. He and Cobra Commander would have to be co Heads-of-state.
