I guess Falcon's the only one that's right? Since you can wear the green beret outside of a SF unit? Is there a GI Joe flash?

After much thought, I've decided on how I'm gonna use the Flagg. In my 'verse, the Flagg will be more a call sign then an actual piece of Joe equipment.
I have a large Joe organization but the sheer size of an aircraft carrier makes it worse. Even trying to use it as a JHSV there's still a crew of 60 plus they don't just travel alone, they're usually escorted by other vessels. So my take is that Keel Haul is a 'Floating' (no pun intended) Flag Admiral who mostly coordinates Joe operations with the USN brass, making sure the Joes get Naval and Naval aviator support when needed and sometimes if a Carrier Group is close to a Cobra situation that requires Joe involvement (above and beyond NAVSPECWAR or JSOF involvement) then he and his small command and control team (maybe a group of 5 or 6, supported by a 4-5 man USMC personal security team) will set up ops onboard the carrier and via presidential directive basically assumes some control of the carrier group for the duration of the mission. So say the USS Kittyhawk is in and around the Horn of Africa and there's a skirmish happening between Cobra and the IG, Keel Haul flies in with his C&C crew and maybe one platoon of Joe Seals, he assumes some control of the carrier group, directing air strikes etc and for the duration of the mission the callsign of the Kitty Hawk becomes the USS Flagg to Joe Ops and US SOCCOM operational command. I don't know how plausible this scenario might be in the real world, but that's how I'm gonna use the Flagg. Trying to create 100-6000 Navy Joes to support the Flagg was becoming a nightmare...not to mention I'll never amass that many troop builders. |

That's pretty genuis Tyroc.
Right now I see the Flagg as a SUbmarine Aircraft Carrier, which also functions as a Amphibious Assault ship. But I don't know how tied to I am to that interpretation. But since Keel-Haul is so high ranking it makes for a good reason why. Same for most of the Joes. I see them as force Multipliers at times so they can sort of commandeer a platoon or Supply Company or Airfield or whatever they need. |

I don't have the Black Beret Dusty, but I have the other ones. I don't know if I'm using the 91 version, but Green Beret version is a Green Beret. Red Beret is a Combat Controller.

Does it have a crew of named Joes or just green shirts? |

Oh it would be almost entirely Green Shirts. I need to figure how many deptments on a Submarine and how many on a Amphibious Assault Carrier, and maybe two members for each. It would have to be mostly automated as well. But it would be huge, and would need a massive crew realistically, but this imaginary vehicle would somehow operate with a crew only a quarter of that size.
Still that's a lot more officers added to the team. But I like to imagine with this thing there would be no need for the PIT. |

Yup and not just the US Joes, in Sigma Six, Lt Stone was always portrayed in a red or scarlet beret which in the UK would make him an MP. If he was SAS it should have been beige, if he was a Marine Commando or Special Boat Squad it should've been Green (Dark blue if regular marine).
Considering he was supposed to have been a spy, like James Bond then a Royal Marine Commando would be appropriate |
