North America will be the main base. Contain the main command center, the training center, the R&D, the labs, engineers, etc.. Steel Brigade will also be out of this base, for major urban conflicts.
Sierra Gordo will be the jungle base.
Trucial Abysmia will be a smaller (not completely independant) base in the desert.
Greenland will be a smaller (not completely independant) arctic base.
Asia will contain the last base.
I'm thinking each base has an infantry unit, a small armor unit and a small air unit.
My air units won't have any fighter jets, be ground support only. So no Skystrikers or Conquests.
The stealth will be out of the NA base. The rest of the air unit will be A-10s, Skyhawks and Skysweepers (the new RoC ones).
Where do you put the Asia base? I've struggled with this too. I put a base in Afghanistan. They are close to everything. I just feel like I need a Far East base as well. I don't see the Joes doing many operations in say Japan or China or Korea. But Southeast Asia from Burma to Australia poses a very Jungle type environment. So you may need two Jungle troops. One in the Amazon and one in South East Asia.
Now through Africa in the Mix and you need another.
Jungles seem like the perfect hideouts for terrorist Paramilitary types. And Cobra to operate in. I think I need to rethink mine.
What about the Flagg? Myself I think the Joes should have the Carrier but it has to be advanced. Obviously nuclear, with Troop landing ability. It would need to be smaller than traditional Carriers, therefore aircraft would need to be VTOL or STOL, so I pretend the Skystrikers, (Which are not to scale of a F-14) have a STOL ability. As far as support ships, I guess they would get maybe two destroyers, but Missle Cruisers would be better, and maybe two Submarines. All need to be Nuclear powered.
Couple of these babies too:

I know we all like the Joint Venture HSVs
Joint Venture (HSV-X1)
But the idea would be to keep the Joe navy to less than 2000 sailors.
Still the USS Flagg gets sunk no matter what. Maybe they just role with the Joint Venture ships and Harriers or Tiger Rats, or hopefully the F-35s appear soon to the Joes as they are what is realistically on the Horizon with VSTOL abilities.
It's not like the Joes need to pull off a massive invasion anywhere, although those were the most fun comics IMHO. Like the Cobra civil war and when they invaded Trucial Abysmia.
