Is the new edition of Wild Bill from the TRU exclusive Air Commanders officially listed as "Night Force"?

No he's not, but just looks like he'd fit in with the black/gray colors.

My "Ghost Squad" even has a custom Awe Striker that I found through this forum. It's pretty awesome and matches them very well. They would need something light and fast.
The only problem with my collection/organization is that it's TOO big. I can't play with it all at once - not even close. I wished we all lived closer, you guys could all come over and we could play and talk Joes. I bet we would have a ball. But i have no idea how much room we would need if we all brought all our Joes. We would probably need something akin to a warehouse.

I would send Tiger Force. It sounds like Jungle to me, and that's their AO.
However, if you're choosing any Joes, and 9-man team is a squad... 1. Claymore: Commander 2. Flint: X-O 3. Beach-Head: alpha fire team leader 4. Tunnel Rat 5. Repeater: Machine gunner 6. Stalker: Bravo team Leader 7. Torpedo 7. Roadblock: Machine Gunner 9. Low-Light: Squad Sniper (would work independently to cover them and take out assigned targets). Just my opinion. I can't pick just 9. But I can do three sets of Nine. Amphibious Insertion Team Lt Torpedo(CO) Wet Down(XO) Wet Suit Gung-Ho Leatherneck Hollow Point Shipwreck Tracker Recoil (They need a Radio) Airborne Assualt Falcon (CO) Flint(XO) Duke Drop Zone Free Fall RipCord Crazy Legs Sneak Peek Barrel Roll (Based on the File Cards he's a corporal) (In the comics he's Lt. if so too many officers here) Land/Jungle Claymore (CO) Tunnel-Rat Roadblock BeachHead Stalker Snake Eyes Dial-Tone (I always assumed he was a ranger because of the Beret and what looks like the 75th flash on it before they went tan) Repeater Recondo |

What no Marines? Still an Excellent team. Perhaps you may know this? What are the standard operating Squads for the different Special Operations Groups. For example Green Berets use a 8 man squad and SEALS use a 6 man Squad and Rangers use a 12 man squads. ( I made those all up, but i'm about to look into it more.)
Ok, so about the Special Operations unit sizes. SEALs - generally 6 man teams. Special Forces/Green Berets - 12 man "A-Team" that can split up down to as many as six 2-man teams. 75th Ranger Regiment uses standard Infantry size units. Force Recon uses, to the best of my knowledge, a similar set up as Army Special Forces. They're training is HQed at Camp Legeune, NC and they cross train a lot with SF down at Bragg. This has only started since Rumsfeld was the SecDef. A 9 man team... that would be an Infantry Squad, and Rangers would definitely operate in an element of that size.

To touch back on an earlier topic, I just wanted to ask how many of you guys use international figures/characters?
If so, how do you use them? For example, I'm trying to get Urzor. He's officially listed as a villain, but I will use him as a Machine Gunner for my regular Army Ranger detachment. I also have Tiger Force Outback and Tiger Force Tunnel Rat. What about y'all?

I don't own a single international figure.
I suck. edit: If I did, I'd probably use 'em as "extra" characters. In the case of Urzor, he'd be an additional machine gunner for my units.

Maybe once you figure out a good chain of command, then you can figure out which key characters you would like to get and start there. That's how I did it. And it just kept going from there.
