They're cool looking, so I want the Resolute Trooper to get some kind of special significance, just not sure what yet.

As for Resolute, for me, G.I. Joe is firmly set in the 80s so the Resolute figures (I already grabbed CC and the Cobra Troopers) kind of represent what Joe and Cobra would look like maybe 10 years after the heyday of ARAH. The Resolute trooper is just a more modern version of the standard Blueshirt. He's a great figure by the way. |

I'm assuming we'll get some officers too. If not I may use them as officers. The IG set from the Movie seems to have an officer.

He showed up in one issue. One of the Trucial Abysmia issues (where everyone was dying).
The Joes chased him thru the streets. He was kind of a nutcase. G.I. Joe Comic Book Archive |

I imagine the named Cobras to be so of the worlds best in their respective specialities. Someone like Firefly is a great example, he may be the best saboteur in the entire world. The Joe's are picking the best members of the US armed forces so that limits the talent pool a bit, of course they have the funding for training. I think Cobra recruits from anywhere and they work hard at recruiting ex-military, especially ex-special forces.
In my Joe-verse Cobra's special forces are some of the best trained and experienced soldiers in the world, here's my logic. Cobra recruits ex-special forces from all over the world this gives them a very diversified set of skills. They also recruit freedom fighters with years of experience in guerrilla warfare. These guerrilla fighters have fought, to a stalemate, the US and Russian forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Chechnya. I think this would make the Cobra special forces as good as or better than most in the world. I could see them lacking two things that the US has, first is the world wide intelligence network (although Cobra's isn't bad either). Second is the capability to move units and their gear around the world as fast as the US. Cobra can move small numbers of troops (platoon size)quickly but they can't move a special forces task force very fast like the US can. This is less important for Cobra because they generally don't need to react to developing situations (they are usually behind the crisis the US needs to rapidly respond to). My brother and I are working on making a custom figure(s) that is sort of a Cobra Green Beret. We haven't come up with a name for the unit yet but it's their job to train, and sometimes fight with, freedom fighters and terrorist around the world. Cobra's goal is to have as much worldwide instability as possible these guys are their means to help accomplish this. While the US trains the Green Berets to be able to work with and gain the trust of the different cultures from around the world it isn't easy and not always successful. Cobra's Green Berets on the other hand may be of the ethnicity, religion or culture and speak the same language(s) because they are from the same area (sometimes they may have family ties). This gives them a huge advantage over the US Green Berets. As embodied by SkullBuster: YOJOE.COM | Filecard Gallery - Skull Buster |

They would make a good urban trooper. But isn't that what the Alley Viper is supposed to be?

I would suggest Naval Forces but I use the DTC soldiers for that since they seem to be wearing bodysuits. |

Speaking of Muskrat, and alot of Joes, does anyone know where the JWTC is? I'm haven't found much. It seems like it's been closed for over a decade. Is there a new one? There seems to be one for the Marines in Okinawa is that the same one? Wasn't there one in Panama?

You know, mentioning that, look at uniform colors. Back in the 80s it was all greens, jungle camo. Nowadays it's usually all browns, desert camo. It's been along time since I've seen any kind of green camo on active duty soldiers.
