APC or Warthogs to move troops around.
So each team can pack up and move around as required.
Yeah, fueling is a big problem. No "homebase" to resupply at. So fuel, ammunition, etc.. would be big problem.
So that leads to the creation of the Joe Support Team.
All new characters and equipment.
Heavily armored supply truck/tank (I'm thinking 1/2-track). 1 would be a fuel truck, the other would be ammunition carrier. Have to be heavily armored so stray rounds don't make 'em go boom. There'd be a mobile protection team assigned to the vehicles (jeeps and motorcycles).
Helicopters and Jets provide air cover as required.
This could be an entirely greenshirt unit, but I think it works best as a Joe/greenshirt unit.
Drivers, unit commander, and 1-2 others are Joes. The rest of the "protection" team is made up of greenshirts.
The Joes don't have VTOL airplanes like the Rattler and the Hurricane. Although the Tiger Rat should be used way more often. Still like you said the SkyHawk is a perfect vehicle for trouncing around the globe. Plus they have Locust and the SkyStorm seems pretty compact.
I've always dreamed of a supply/support team/element. I think there are a lot of existing joes that should fall into this category.
This should be Tollbooth's or Steam Roller's team but New characters are always welcome by me. Maybe a Jessica Lynch Tribute figure. The EOD guys may travel with this team as well, but guys with the Flamethrowers serve little purpose other than Engineering. I think all those guys would be better served if they were reassigned to this team. Barbecue too.
