I think that's a good way to use them. I suppose I just don't want to use two Combat Officers in a limited role. We're already short on Combat Officers.
Could you seem them leading their own special units? Possibly overseen by someone like General Rey - certainly with his "background" he should be able to keep up with the Super Troopers? If Lattimer and De Niro are both Super Troopers, and if we can see the term "Super Trooper" less as a name and more as a qualification, then Lattimer and De Niro will need individual Code Names like Rapid-Fire. What should they be called? |

So when the enemy is in a vulnerable position, who do you contract for the job? An STD. Super Trooper Detachment. They work undercover and in dark places. Once they make contact with the enemy, they are nearly impossible to get rid of.

That's a pretty great name for a Super Trooper Unit: A Shield Team.
What code names should be given to Lattimer and De Niro specifically? Lattimer: Eagle Claw DeNiro: Hunter (it's the name of an UK Action Force guy, and I thought of Robert De Niro's movie "The Deer Hunter") Just suggestions. I was also thinking about how to use ROC Hawk... He just doesn't look like Hawk to me, and ROC continuity is about an International Unit and not an American Unit... I was thinking of using him as "Trent" the leader of the UK Action Force. He was Hawk's counter part in London. What do y'all think?

I'm not using the STs in my unit, except for Rapid Fire and he's not necessarily "dumbed" down as some of the more "super" elements are removed.
But I suppose, yeah, having Rey be in charge of the unit would work. Have to get rid of the Super Trooper name (and I'd change the uniform as I can't stand it). Rapid Fire works, would need comparable codenames for the other 2 as well.

I'm using the RoC Hawk as Gen. Colton.

So for the Joe Team, "SHEILD" could be General Rey's own Special Ops Unit... three teams lead by Lattimer, De Niro, and Rapid-Fire - each Super Trooper leading a "Shield Team".
These Teams (or the individual "Super Troopers") could be used as Combat Fixer-Uppers, or for Special Fast Attack Operations behind enemy lines: A Quick Strike Force, so to speak. I envision something like this: Night Force has just conducted an operation well behind enemy lines and are extracting overland back to friendly lines - a 40 Klick trip. An armored column of the Crimson Guard has been alerted and is searching for them, and it's likely that NF will be found and overtaken by the CG's. A Shield Team gets inserted to cover their extraction and divert/counter attack against the CG Armor column.

Ok so maybe STD is not the ideal unit name. But I like the name S.H.I.E.L.D. It could stand for something like Strategic Helo-Infil/Exfil, LRS Detachment.

You know, this has been bugging me about that Super Trooper comic.
The whole training was with the 2 of them, except the opening scene. It almost came across as if they were training as a two-man unit. I mean, what is the point of the Skystriker exercise exept to work together? The train? Have to work together. So does the ST end up being an individual when the training shown was about working with a partner? Just makes no sense.

In the Action Force comic, there is only one Super Trooper grad. One dies in the final training mission.
