And that would be a minimum. The problem with the Joe team has they were shown in the comics was the missing support staff.
Most tanks have a 4-man Crew. The Tank Commander, Driver, Gunner and Loader. Artillery Crews are 3 to 4 man, and that's also the same for a Mortar Crew; the shooter, the spotter and the loader.
Then there's the Flight Crew that's needed to get planes in the air. Mechanics and other maintenance personal.
DDP introduced the Greenshirts (who were based on the old background greenshirts in the cartoon) and IDW has a large support staff shown already.
Something like the Rolling Thunder would have at least a crew of 4, possibly 6. Thunderclap would be at least 6.
There's 200+ Named Joes (something like that). The problem ends up being in integrating the Named Joes and the Greenshirts.
So that's when Steeler becomes the Commander of the Joe's Tank Division, with Greenshirts manning the other Mobats. But then what about Heavy Metal? Is he the Commander of the Joe's Mauler Tank Division with Steeler being the MOBAT and being the overall Tank Division Commander (he's higher rank then Heavy Metal).
That's kind of the idea I go with, except this is where I came up with the two base idea. What does the Joe team need with two different style of tanks? One style of tank is for one location, the other is for the other location of Joe base.
The Joes, if they are a real Delta Force-type unit, wouldn't have an armor/artillery/air component at all. But since they do, the fun part is in figuring out how it all works.
