So Forward Observers are to artillery what Combat Controllers are to air support?
So these guys wouldn't be part of the Recon/Covert Ops group. They'd be attached to the armor/cavarly units and deploy with them. In the field they'd then be attached to the Recon guys, to go in and scout out the locations and tag the targets. Kind of funny, Transformers got something right with the military. They had the Combat Controller attached to the Ranger squad.

I've recently been reading more about Forward Observers (FOs), also known as Fire Support Specialists, and I now have an all new respect for guys like Grunt and Crazylegs. A lot of people just see Grunt as a ground pounder but being that he's FO qualified, he's one of the toughest of the original 13. Just look at some stuff FOs must learn.
Just looked thru all his cards. Where's it list his FO qualifications?

Crazylegs is FO crosstrained. Grunt is an Artillery coordinator, as is Duke and Lightfoot. I don't think it's the same thing.

Yeah. Can still have him do that for select missions. But most of the time would be helicopter dropped or SEaL insertion thru the water.
So who would be part of a Joe Black Ops team? These are the guys that get the missions no one wants and no one wants to admit to. Snake-Eyes Flint Torpedo Low-Light Tunnel Rat Anyone else? |

So if you guys had to put together an amphibious/jungle assault team (inserted by WHALE), who would you include? The Jungle Warfare guys come to mind, but if you include Mutt, do you also include Junkyard? Would the dog be an assest or hindrance? Or would Mutt be better off with a patrol/security team? Should Big Brawler go in with team or should he stay with Special Forces? Who else?
A five-man roster might look like this: Squad Leader (MSG) - Big Brawler Team Leader (SSG) - Pathfinder Specialist - Recondo Specialist - Muskrat Specialist - Mutt & Junkyard |

Dart's filecard reads as a major bad-ass. Lots of top secret missions, couple presidential awards, almost mystical tracking skills, ranger.
Dart is better then Spirit. My only interaction with him was in the DDP series where he was kind of a wuss. That mission went bad and he had to go in for pysch work? That doesn't sound like the guy in the filecard.

So the Joe Black-Ops team, kind of like how Oliver describes his Ghost Squad. These are the guys that aren't afraid to get dirty.
Falcon - CO Flint - XO Snake-Eyes Torpedo Tunnel Rat Low-Light Mercer There are no rules of engagement for these guys. Complete denability.

So I just picked up the new Joe 5 pack. Ultimately I only wanted Flint with corrected Gloves and since I didn't have Lady Jaye It was worth it. Shipwreck looks better, but I think the movie Shipwreck will be my default when I get one. One thing I noticed is Flint is listed as WO-2 for once with this outfit. His highest rank is TIger Force as W-3. Also Shipwreck is given SCPO this go round which he hadn't been since V5

I don't like either Flint or Shipwreck out of the 5-pack, the faces just don't do it for me.
I grabbed Lady Jaye out of the DVD pack. I probably won't get this 5-pack since none of the figures are really anything I need/want. Is Shipwreck listed as a Sailor or did they make it SEaL?
