I don't think a GI Joe "SWAT Team" would necessarily have to be made up of MPs or law enforcement types. They could be organized like the Navy's shipboard VBSS (Visit, Board, Search & Seizure) teams. AFAIK, almost any sailor cleared for combat duty can join those units, provided they make it through the training pipeline. So you can conceivably have an odd combination of ratings (the Navy equivalent of the Army's military occupational specialties) making up a ship's VBSS unit. Like say a culinary specialist serving as the VBSS team leader, and a storekeeper and a postal clerk acting as the team's "sweeps" and a dental technician and a journalist serving as utility/security men.
On an unrelated note, I agree with Loose Cannon. The Joes need some more full-time Intelligence branch operatives. Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are Scarlett, Lady Jaye, and Jinx (and what's the deal with all the Intelligence ops personnel being female? What is this, Charlie's Angels?). I guess Chuckles sort of counts (maybe he can play the role of "Charlie"), even though he's CID and not MI.
That's a real good use for Budo. I like it alot. Too bad Barbecue isn't Navy, he'd work real well for a VBSS unit to deal with any fires and such that break out.
No females are allowed into the US Special Forces. The Irish Army Ranger Wing is one of hte only worldwide Spec Ops that allows women to train with the men. That's why all the Joe females (with exception being Cover Girl, but DDP "fixed" her and made her intelligence) are intelligence operatives. It was the only way to get them the training they'd need to be part of the Joe team.
Scarlett's Declassified actually had her as FBI with additional training.
