I like Quick Strike for one.
I just don't like the idea of a squad of "super" troopers. What's the point of the other Joes then? If these guys are so good, why not just replace all the Joes with 'em? That's why I like the idea of 1 man. Definately not someone that can take out a whole platoon by themselves. I don't even see 'em fighting on a battlefield by themselves. Remember the character Eric Bana played in Blackhawk Down? He's in the city by himself, scouting, and at the end he goes back into the city by himself to find the missing pilots (yeah, in reality the character was a bunch of Delta's meshed together but I'm talking about the movie character only). That's kind of what I envision the Super Troopers. Soldiers that can work within a unit, but are also very capable of being on their own. Snake-Eyes without the ninja. But unlike Snake-Eyes, these guys are "on the book" operations.

The SWAT team would then conduct operations against specific targets withing Steel Brigade's area of operation - SB sets up it's area of operation within a city, and then the SWAT Team can conduct operations within that city, but not under the command of SB - Delta doesn't take orders from the Rangers.
Yeah. I like that. So Cobra takes over a couple blocks of a city. SB are the guys that go door to door, building to building, alley to alley to take back the city. The SWAT unit are the guys that go into the Town Hall (Cobra's HQ) and take out the leadership and rescue the hostages. As for who would be in charge. Bulletproof is a good choice. Surefire?

How about other names... so we like "Quick-Strike" I'm just spit balling - "Switch-Blade", "Heat-Seeker", "Rocket", "Stealth", "Blitzkrieg", "Arrow-Head", "Bullet", "Automatic", "Swift shot (sounds British for De Niro)". Just some ideas.

"Sure Shot" is a good name. It's better than most of the crap I came up with ;)

I use Surefire as the guy in charge of the MPs/Base Security/CID unit, all that kind of thing.
His guys are the ones that secure the captured bases, maintain security at forward bases, maintain security at the main base, and perform CID as needed.

Yeah, I think Sure Fire or Bullet Proof make the most sense to be the CO of Steel Brigade... at least it makes sense to me. I guess which one just depends on how you have your Joeverse structured.
So what care we going to call the 2 Super Troopers? 1. Quick Strike 2. ??? What do y'all think? I was also thinking "Bolt Action" would be a cool name for some character.

Speaking of Code Names that have to do with Speed, does anyone know anything about the new figure/character "Speed Metal"... I was thinking he would actually make a pretty good update for Super Trooper Armor. Does any one have any info on this guy?

Another name I thought of was "Vulcan"... like the Gatling gun. It certainly puts out a lot of ammunition, and it's powerful.
