Yeah, but a full-time SWCC detachment, though? I don't know... if we're talking about patterning the GI Joe team after small direct action units like Delta or the SEAL teams or a reinforced Ranger company, from a logistical standpoint, it just seems a little inefficient maintaining a SWCC team and their equipment and vehicles (not just the boats, but the prime movers -- the trucks and trailers --- that carry them) when not all Joe missions would require "brown water" insertion. A complement of, say, 6 small combatant craft (enough to carry a platoon of direct action operators) would probably require a separate platoon of personnel for overland transport alone (since, unlike helicopters, the boats aren't capable of independent overland self-deployment).
I can see a SWCC team getting attached to the Joe team on occasion, but only as the mission calls for it. I think full-time membership slots would be better reserved for more essential personnel (especially if we're concerned about keeping personnel numbers to a reasonable maximum).
