That was me. If I recall, I almost steered the thread into an overly political discussion with my whole rant about how I think companies like General Dynamics are hijacking the United States government's defense policy and budget. Earned the thread a wag of the finger from a mod, if I'm not mistaken :P

I think a bunch of HMMWVs and some

Also, I've finalized the outline of organization for the Joe team. It took an obssesive fascination with the intricacies of unit structure, but I think I've managed to come up with a fairly plausible way for a small battalion-sized (~300 personnel) rapid deployment unit to be organized, while still incorporating disparate air and ground combat assets as well as staffing, administrative, and logistics personnel.
I've extended the roster to include all the Joes from 1982 to 1990, with the exception of Battleforce 2000, Sgt. Slaughter, Salvo (just because I don't like the character), The Fridge, and two of the three Renegades. As for the "unnamed" Joes on the roster, just think of them as disposable greenshirts, the guys who die every now and then on Joe missions.
To view the outline (it's in PDF format), click on the following link to download the document from sendspace (will open a new tab or window; the download link should appear on the bottom of the page):
Modern GI Joe team outline of organization
I've tried to lay out the organization as cleanly and clearly as I could, although the final version, of course, will have a bong-load of diagrams and articles to describe each element's and its component parts' functions and duties. Would love to hear your opinions.
