I like this idea. Don't forget Long Arm v2 for EOD, though maybe he should stick with SWAT/Urban Ops. Plus, I'm still trying to figure out how EOD guys are allocated in the army. In what platoons/companies/battalions are they organic and/or what way are they attached to other platoons/companies etc? Do they work alone? In pairs? Squads?
And don't forget Heavy Duty v2 can serve as a gunner or loader, and Thunderwing is also a tank commander. I also like to use Dusty as a tank crewmember since armor is most often and easily deployed in desert/arid regions. I'd say Airtight, Ozone, Clean-Sweep and Flash (since he's CBR qualified) should make up the CBRN team. |

What do you guys think of that Accerlator Suit Ripcord figure?
I like the figure ALOT. It looks like Wraith. How and are you going to integrate it into the Joeverse? It's not Ripcord, so would need a new name. Joe team made their own wraith-tech suits to combat Wraith? The Joes unit assigned to deal with the nano-enhanced Red Shadows (from DDP)?

As for snipers, I think Low-Light should have at least have a spotter, but even better would be a three-man sniper section much like infantry companies have.
Typical Sniper Team: Sniper (E5) with XM107 Observer/Sniper (E4) with M24 Security/Sniper (E3) with M203 So we could use Low-Light (or Side Track if you really want to use him for special night ops), Cross Hair, and Ambush. |

So Troynos, I feel like I'm missing out on much of the development of other Joe characters because I'm not familiar with many other comic series other than Marvel, Devil's Due Special Missions, GI Joe: Declassified, Reloaded and now IDW.
Is the regular Devil's Due series, Frontline, America's Elite, or Snake Eyes Declassified worth reading for more info about later characters? For instance, is Cross Hair depicted in any of these series? |

My idea of how the Mission Planning and Mission Control Room would work, and the roles of Col. Courage, Pysche-Out and Scoop.
There was a knock on the door. “Enter,” the man behind the desk said looking up. The outer wall of his office was all glass, looking out into the mission control room. He could see people moving all over the place, and various screens broadcasting data. The large status board in the middle of the room showed updates on all the various team members in the field. Opening the door, Psyche-Out walked into the office, holding a mission dossier. “Hawk’s got a new one for us,” he said walking over to the desk and taking a chair, handing Colonel Courage the dossier. Courage flipped it open and started scanning the sheets. “Cobra’s running around the mountains in Siberia huh,” he said looking up at Psyche-Out. “Hawk wants us to put a team down to stop or watch?” “Watch,” Pysche-Out answered, “At least for now.” “Who’s there for Snakes?” “Intel is spotty, not that many positive IDs, but Bludd has been seen there.” That got Courage’s attention. “Bludd?” “Yeah, that surprised me too. Bludd’s usually only in battle roles. This, “Pysche-Out started pointing at the dossier, “seems more like something that Firefly would be in on.” “What do you think?” “Well, Bludd’s out of his element. Or it could be in preparation for a major operation. They’ve used Bludd in that role before. Remember that mission in Wolfknuckland? Bludd went in ahead of the main force to look around.” “Oh yeah..” Courage said sadly. “That one..” “Right. We got caught unprepared with the wrong team in place.” “So, for this one, think one of the recon or ops team?” “Hawk just wants a look around right now, but if Bludd’s involved I’d like a team in place to put a dent in his movements if need be,” Psyche-Out said. “Right, and to hold him in place until the Assault Team can arrive, “ Courage said turning around in his chair and looking at the map behind him. “So, who do we have in the area?” Psyche-Out reached across Courage’s desk and hit the intercom button. “Scoop,” he said into the intercom. “Yes sir,” the reply came over the speakers. Glancing into the control room Psyche-Out could see Scoop making his way over to the status board. “Who do we have for Ops in the Siberia area?” “Give me a second,” the the voice trailed away. A minute later Scoop’s voice came back over the intercom. “Stalker’s team is en route to the Delta Base. They’re returning from the South China operation.” “That op just ended. The team will be tired,” Psyche-Out said. “Anyone else?” “Not in the immediate area,” Scoop said. “Beachhead’s team is on the Flagg, they could be at Delta in 20 hours.” “What do you think Psyche-Out,” Courage said turning back around. “Stalker’s got the more experience in that environment and Lightfoot was on that last op with them. Could come in handy if they have to blow stuff up.” “Right, but that op was pretty hairy,” Pysche-Out said tapping his chin. “Scoop,” Courage said. “Was anyone hurt on that op?” “Crosshair was wounded sir,” Scoop said. “Last update, 1 hour ago, when the Tomahawk picked them up. Let me see… Bullet thru the shoulder.” “Who’s in Delta that could take his place?” “Scarlett is in Delta. She just finished up an intel op in Cambodia.” “Okay, thank you Scoop,” Courage said keying off the intercom. “Scarlett has worked with Stalker’s group before and has sniper training. She could take Crosshair’s place.” “True, I just wish that the Flagg was closer. I’d like a chance to debrief Stalker’s group and let them get some rest before sending them out again.” “Don’t have much options,” Courage said keying the intercom on again. “Scoop, get ahold of Delta. Soon as that Tomahawk lands, get it refuled and rearmed and get Stalker’s group ready to go out again. Let them know that Lightfoot will be tagging along. Mission orders will be incoming to Delta Control.” “Right,” Scoop said “Coming Delta now.” “Okay,” Courage said keying the intercom off. “How do we want to play this one?”

Most of the Ivy League Schools don't have ROTC... Harvard students, for example, have to cross list their ROTC courses at MIT because Harvard doesn't have an ROTC program... neither does Dartmouth, so Claymore is probably an OCS grad. Obviously I'm biased; Duke's my alma mater, but I just think it's a bit odd that they do mention several of the Joes' alma maters by name, and they don't mention Flint's even though he's a Rhodes Scholar.
