This would fall in line with his Coast Guard service and the fact that he is under the Department of Homeland Security. |

Shark, Barracuda, Stakeout, Beaver, Surfer are all apart of Action Force from the UK.
Barracuda, Stakeout, & Beaver are from the SAS Force Shark & Surfer from the Q-Force I have the rest of Q-Force along with Topside as the named Joes operating the Sea Titan Submarine. At one point, this is where I also had Cutter. Its as follows: Commander: Leviathan Executive Officer: Periscope (concept Joe saw on Netflix show) Helm Officer: Dolphin Master-at-Arms / Communications: Topside Communications / Sonar: Phones |

Yeah I have all 8 of those AF guys mixed in my Maritime forces. Freebies
really. I still don't know what do with Leviathan. I had Cmdr Bond as a Character with my Airborne Team, but I think he overlaps too much with Bond. I think I like Leviathan more as the sort of Operations Commander. However Cmdr. Magnum is already filling that role. Maybe as Keel-Haul's XO or as a Ship Captain? Not sure. Then there is the Submarine/Aircraft Carrier concept that works in so many ways for JOE. SEAL/SBS Team: Lt. Torpedo (O-3) Lt. Dolphin (O-2) Wet-Down (CW-5) Talbot (WO-2) Deep-Six (E-8) Tracker (E-7) Mariner (E-7) Beaver (E-5) Night-Fox (E-5) Depth Charge (E-5) Shark (E-5) Harpoon (E-5) Barracuda (E-4) SWCC: Cutter (O-3) High-Tide (CW-4)(custom) Shipwreck (E-8) Phones (E-7) Triton (E-7) (Convention TF Stalker based on Brazilian Character) Marujo (E-6) Topside (E-6) Stake-Out (E-6) Hatches (E-5) Custom Rampart (E-4) Jaguar (E-4) (Felino just don't like the name) Scout (E-4) Surfer (E-4) as they are all established characters.

What kind of boats or insertion vehicles do you see being in this org? Would you give them the Warthog or maybe the APC? WHALE? Devilfish? MANTA?
What about kayaks? For some reason I thought that US SOF didn't use Kleppers, but then I saw this: Kayaks | Canoes | Special Operations Forces |

the Joe version of the Night Landing would be a good one for stealth missions.
the Piranha Attack Boat is also a decent one for less stealthy missions. |

I could see a couple Devilfish if needed as escorts, and just for fun as a serious amount of fire power in a small package. But Night Landings, and the Pirahna makes the best sense for insertion based on current inventory. Maybe the SHARK 9000 too.
Realistically it would be MK-V and RHIBs. Not sure why I never bought them when they were cheap and have been kicking myself ever since.

A little while back we were discussing marksmanship badges and the various "qualified expert" notations on some file cards. Discussion threads elsewhere have made me scratch my head on a few issues.
According to Wikipedia (it's on the internet so it must be correct!), there are badges not just for small arms, but also for tank gunnery, artillery and so on. Zap (M-72 (LAW Rocket); XM-71A (TOW Missile); XM-47 (Dragon Missile)), Cover Girl (LAW rocket, Dragon A/T Missile), Crank Case (TOW) and Bazooka (Dragon Anti-Tank Missile, Milan System, LAW rocket, Recoilless rifle, LAW System and all Warsaw Pact RPG systems) all are noted as being qualified experts on various anti-tank rockets and missiles. 1. Bazooka has Milan. It's a great missile, but not American. Where did he pick that up? Some of the more notable users at that time were the UK, France, and Germany. Does anyone think Bazooka might have done an exchange with any of those nations? 2. Cover Girl isn't actually qualified expert on the missiles fired by the Wolverine, which seems strange. 3. Similarly, none of the armor guys actually are qualified expert on tank weapons. You'd think that Steeler in particular would have scored that, given his work with experimental AFVs. 4. But here's an even stranger one: Cross Country is qualified expert Heavy Laser Cannon - but the HAVOC's blueprints don't list it as having laser cannons. Think he might be a laser guy who could work the HAL when not out driving around in the HAVOC? Anyone have any theories or imaginative ideas to explain any of these? |

Bazooka could've been stationed in (West) Germany and learned to use the MILAN there. I've seen pictures of US personnel using non US weapons whilst deployed together in Saudi in 1990 or Iraq in the 2000s and on exercises with UK personnel. In the latter instance, I follow the Parachute Regiment page on Facebook and they've posted photos of US and UK paratroops on exercises together and the UK soldiers using the M4 instead of the L85 and vice-versa.
