Yeah, I've heard of them. I thought someone on here had done something similar to that. It's a great idea, I've tossed it around some myself.

Damn, those sound like bad-asses. I don't think the Coast Guard gets it's due. There are some bad-asses there.
What other "close-to" spec ops are in the Guard? And why aren't they considered on the same level as the other units?

You know, a HITRON guy would make a good crewmember for the WHALE.
I have a bustom figure that will be perfect to use for a HITRON. Just need a name now..

For a codename the first thing that came to mind was Osprey, which are also called Seahawks. |

Seahawk works for a name.
Squall is my Navy chopper pilot.

I envision the JUMP packs as more of a defensive than offensive piece of equipment- Cobra (or Joe) would use them as an advantage in the event of an attack on their base (instant high ground)
Originally I was going to use the jetpacks that came with RoC Hawk on Delta 6 suits as an anti-BAT unit, but I've kinda lost interest in that. My Air Assault Glider team is made up of Barrel Roll, Cloud Burst, Skymate renamed Boomerang & Starduster renamed Barn Stormer. |

Even if jet packs and such aren't cost effective for insertion, they'd make a hell of an escape option once you've complete your objective and alerted the enemy to your presence.

The Coast Guard doesn't have any SOF units, although I think they do have units that can be described as, to use a USMC term, "special operations-capable." Their Maritime Security Response Teams are considered by some as perhaps the best VBSS units in the US, because VBSS is practically all they do and they continuously train in it (whereas Navy and USMC VBSS units are generally provisional/ad hoc organizations composed of personnel who have "full-time" jobs doing something else in the service). |

I think people only associate the Coast Guard with water rescues and border patrols and not everything else they do.
