Agreed, Troy. Duke's a soldier, not a spook. Maybe Flint would join the CIA. I could also see SE, Scarlett, Lady Jaye, or Chuckles being part of the Agency during the downtime, but definitely not Duke.

Nice lists everyone.
I guess the Joes are by and large all bad asses but some are harder than others Of those mentioned, I'd also add the following based on the Action Force profiles; Spirit (my favorite Joe) ex Green Beret Hawk - ex Delta Hit 'n' Run - SAS Super Trooper Rapid Fire - Probably from the same program as Super Trooper Iceberg - a Ranger sent on exchanges with the Italian Mountain Troops and the Special Boat Service (SBS) I've read that many in the SBS used to feel that they're more elite than the SAS because they all started out as Royal Marines first. Honorable mentions to Footloose (SAS) and Airtight (GSG-9) both hard to reconcile their training with their US versions. |

Yeah, I've always had a tough time placing Ambush. I never liked that he was PFC. I was using him as a Forward Observer, but I like the idea of him being part of a sniper/spotter team.

I agree- the idea of him being a spotter to Cross Hair's sniper works quite nicely. My "Tiger Force" (jungle ops ODA) uses this team:

I remember awhile back, we were talking about how Rip Cord basically disappeared after the PIT II destruction in Fort Wadsworth. Well I found out in Issue 65, When the Tomahawk ferries Rip Cord to the PIT III in Utah. Lift-Ticket says take it easy. During the Cobra Island Civil War he's part of the Security Team. Then in Issue 80 he's part of the Tomahawk crew taking the Rolling Thunder to its mission. Before his figure was cancelled, Rip Cord was to be part of Tiger Force, and Special Missions issue 25 seems to confirm that idea. He's part of Tiger Force in the Tiger Sting with Duke.

An idea I've been toying with the past few days is of the GI Joe team as a platoon-sized, permanent SSE (Sensitive Site Exploitation) unit operating under the DIA. I've always wanted the Joes to have a mission that is distinct from that of the Tier 1 and Tier 2 units, and with the sort of threats and conflicts we have now, where accurate and timely information about enemy disposition, weapons, documents, criminal associations and networks, etc., is more important than ever, I think a small, independent, operationally agile, rapidly-deployable multi-spectrum intelligence exploitation unit with intrinsic self-defense capabilities is something that makes sense and is still "cool" in a military fiction context. Here's how I would organize the team in terms of billets (it's very loosely based on the ad hoc task organization of the 4th Infantry Division/Task Force Iron Horse's MET-D—Mobile Exploitation Team-Delta):
Geostrategic Intelligence Joint Operational Element (GIJOE) Control Team
Communications-Electronics (C-E) Support Team
HUMINT Exploitation Team (HET)
CRIMINT Support Team
EOD Team
High-Value Target (HVT) Tracker Team
Scout/Security Team One
Scout/Security Team Two
The concept is that they're sort of a modern version of the joint-service "intelligence commandos" used by the UK during WWII: elite soldiers, marines, and sailors whose primary task was to collect intelligence in the riskiest of conditions, but had the advanced tactical skills to fight their way out of a hairy situation if they had to (of course, at that point, the mission would obviously be a failure).

I like that set-up Zulu. And yeah, finding a reason for Joe to exist in a world that has Delta has always been an issue for me.
Same as finding a reason the Joes would have tanks, fighter jets.

After reading IDW's G.I. Joe ARAH #191, I'm adding Chuckles to the list of Top Ten Bad-Ass Joes.
