Another big difference is the inclusion of a UAV platoon to the MI Detachment and a Special Operations Advanced Skills Company per Group Support Battalion. (see pic) Last edited by Tyroc; 09-03-2015 at 10:29 AM.. |

Nice, I also heard they had proposed increasing the ranks of the SFODA soldiers up to E-8, but that doesn't appear to have changed.

So what's the difference between a Group Support Battalion and a Battalion Support Company and a Group Support Company? It seems like Wikipedia has been updating their page but the Support part isn't the sexy stuff so it's overlooked I bet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specia...ed_States_Army) I tend to have to overlook some of these support group personnel but many Joes fit right in with key positions in the Group Support battalion:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specia...ed_States_Army) I tend to have to overlook some of these support group personnel but many Joes fit right in with key positions in the Group Support battalion: The Group Support Battalion contains the Sustainment & Distribution Company, Maintenance Company, MI Company, Signals Detachment and the new Specialized Skills Company (like a Training Company but I've heard rumors that they've been deployed like a mini elite within an elite). The GSB also has administrative control and supervision over the Forward Support Companies (one per Battalion). The FSC's provide organic support to the Operational Detachment Charlies. Elements of which can be detached and sent to provide support to the ODB's. The personnel in the Support Companies are mostly non-SF but there are certain billets (mostly Officer and NCO) which are SF specific. Some of the NCO billets include a few SF Communicators in the Base Support Section of the Signals Detachment and some SF Medics in the Medical Detachment. The expansion of the SF GSC into a GSB is because of the overall expansion of the SF role since 9/11 and the lessons learned in having conventional support units trying to accommodate SOF specific equipment. maintenance and general needs. There is talk under the SF future directions of splitting the MI, Signals and Special Skills into a Special Troops Battalion of its own but that would mean raising a battalion HQ and Headquarters Company to oversee and administer it.

There you go Tyroc. So much to read now! I figure Delta would have a similar setup.

Great information Tyroc! We may never know how Delta is structured but I will use the ODB info for my Joe Squadrons. Thanks!

I dont know about secrets, but inconsistencies
2 are Felix P. Stratton, E-5 from Spencer, West Virginia SN: 933-41-5632 1 is Felix P. Stratton, E-5 from Taos, New Mexico. and Richard S. Cecil, E-9 from Richmond, Virginia. SN: 010-5639-JE09 Bench Press is Craig S. McConnel, E-5. SN: 959-13-CM53 Same as Rock N Roll V1 and V9 are E-5 from Malibu. SN: RA98-9091-452 But RNR v2 is now an E-6, SN: 989-1314-MC53 V3, is a E-9 V5 and V6 is an E-7 V7 and V10 Has the same SN as the BP version, but is back to an E-6 |

Yeah I tend to go with the highest rank they received. I treat Bench Press as a new character but he is obviously meant to be Rock'n'Roll. Not sure why they didn't call him so. My Rock'n'Roll is an E-8. I just don't like him as a Sgt. Major.
I treat Mercer as two different characters. Im partial to my Virginia boy, so he is an E-9. My verse he was an undercover Delta Force operator who actually got Mercer out of Cobra Island (may or may not be related). In the end there was some confusion about him as no one trusted him. But it turned out Sgt Major Cecil was always one of the good guys and was Hawk's Recce Sgt when they were in Delta together. Gen James Longstreet Flagg 3rd is another one. How is he the 3rd when his supposed father is Lawrence J Flagg? For me they are cousins really.
