Maybe in the EU, but the ones in the movie didn't really do much.
In the cartoon it was a bit inconsistent, the CGs seemed to just be "elite mooks" the twins brought with them into Cobra. In the comic their purpose was a lot more clearly defined, and were far more dangerous as a whole.
Cobra rarely won a decisive military victory, it was their backroom dealings and covert shenanigans that
really
frustrated the Joes.

Never had them as a kid. : (
Again, I think they were more of an Honor guard, fanatically loyal to CC and surrounding him at all times to keep him safe from threats
within
Cobra as well as from outside. They might also accompany Cobra forces in small numbers, acting as CCs eyes and ears among the ranks, like a secret police.
