Guys, we're starting to veer into political territory, and that's neither the purpose of this thread nor allowed on the forum. (See forum rules, here). I'd hate to see the thread get closed, so think twice before posting.

Back on topic.
So who's on the Joe SWAT Team? Shockwave Wide Scope Bullhorn Who else?

Lowlight would work with them, maybe not always, but he'd help.

They could be organized like the Navy's shipboard VBSS (Visit, Board, Search & Seizure) teams. AFAIK, almost any sailor cleared for combat duty can join those units, provided they make it through the training pipeline. So you can conceivably have an odd combination of ratings (the Navy equivalent of the Army's military occupational specialties) making up a ship's VBSS unit. Like say a culinary specialist serving as the VBSS team leader, and a storekeeper and a postal clerk acting as the team's "sweeps" and a dental technician and a journalist serving as utility/security men. On an unrelated note, I agree with Loose Cannon. The Joes need some more full-time Intelligence branch operatives. Off the top of my head, the only ones I can think of are Scarlett, Lady Jaye, and Jinx (and what's the deal with all the Intelligence ops personnel being female? What is this, Charlie's Angels?). I guess Chuckles sort of counts (maybe he can play the role of "Charlie"), even though he's CID and not MI. |

I can imagine Barbecue (with his firefighting entry skills) or Blowtorch (who I'm assuming is experienced in the use of tactical breaching and cutting torches) being the team's designated tactical breacher. Heck, Budo could probably be a CQB/entry team leader (I'm really just reaching for a plausible use for a "samurai warrior").

The Irish Army Ranger Wing is one of hte only worldwide Spec Ops that allows women to train with the men. That's why all the Joe females (with exception being Cover Girl, but DDP "fixed" her and made her intelligence) are intelligence operatives. It was the only way to get them the training they'd need to be part of the Joe team. Scarlett's Declassified actually had her as FBI with additional training.

There's alot of different versions of Ace. But do they look far enough apart to use as different characters?

Oh, I knew that. It's just that there are other special operations-capable organizations under USSOCOM that do allow females to join, and they're not all rooted in MI: Army Civil Affairs and PSYOP Command, the Army's 112th Signal Battalion & 528th Support Battalion, USN & USMC PSYOP, etc. |

The BeachHead looks like it would be a fairly simple custom. Resolute single Duke with a BeachHead head and some paint. Now I just need to find a single pack Resolute Duke.
