Would Rampart work better as part of a SWCC team or VBSS?

Zulu, thanks again for the info. You're right about the Ensigns to an extent but I've read from some sites that they do receive small "command" responsibilities from time to time. I may be wrong about that though.
What I'd really like to know though is the breakdown of a dang MSOT. I understand (if correctly) that it's supposed to be a fluid unit but I'd still like to see a rough outline of a typical MSOT in terms of ranks, skill sets and individual responsibilities. What say you? He could be both. SWCCs can perform VBSS duties, but VBSS missions are performed by regular sailors as an additional duty. Spike TV had a show call something like Navy Pirate Hunter. It followed a new trained VBSS team on their first float.

Combining the crew of a SWCC craft with the VBSS team would cut down on personal.
The SEaLs are seperate with the SWCCs and VBSSs providing support and extraction for the SEaLs well also performing typical VBSS functions.

Yeah, I can't speak to the Coast Guard directly, but it was the same in the Army. The enlisted guys didn't like the young LT's because they didn't know anything... but how else is an officer supposed to learn? Every soldier makes mistakes when he's new - officers are no exception. And it's hard to know which officers are going to turn out well. Sometimes Academy grads turn out to be bad; sometimes OCS grads turn out to be awesome.

Do you have the large team, so that you can display all the specialties together? Just wondering why you have separate VBSS and UDT personnel, when SEALs are trained to do both. Just wondering.

Specific mission uses. My UDTs wouldn't go on land, they're the divers.

I use my Marines and SEALs for VBSS and GOPLAT missions and pretty all maritime missions.

Maybe the confusion comes from the title "Doctor". Link was a civilian veterinarian, then joined the Navy and became a SEAL, then left the Navy and went to Med School. Maybe at some point, he is given a commission based on his college education, but the filecard says Petty Officer-3, which means he is one of the lowest-ranking Naval Joes. |
