If GI Joe were an actual unit in the US Military, which unit would they be considered:
A. A Platoon B. A Company C. A Division D. A Brigade Or E. A Legion Just a random Question that poped in my mind.

I would compare them to a Marine Expeditionary Unit since they cover all elements.

I always thought of G.I. Joe as similar to but slightly larger than Rainbow, the team in Tom Clancy's novel Rainbow Six. As described on Wikipedia, that "unit consists of a highly effective and cohesive pair of operational squads, supplemented by intelligence and technological experts from the SAS."

a joint "unit". Likely with squadrons, detachments and teams. With Hawk as the commanding general and a lack of other senior officers like O-6s, O-5s and O-4s to fill out the staff, we probably don't see everyone.

Given that they have armor assets and helicopters and Hawk is an O7, I'd say you could imagine them as a composite brigade. Normally helicopters would belong to an aviation brigade, but you could attach a helicopter battalion to the brigade. However, if you're going to include the USS Flagg, which would normally have escorts as part of its strike group, then realistically I'd say GI Joe is a corp size unit or even bigger.

I guess that'd depend on how many joes you have? I have a company of steel brigade delta figures by themselves if it's 100-200 soldiers. What about steel brigades? Are they in a different brigade delta? Alpha,beta,delta brigade? 3 brigades? Each having at least 1500 to be considered a brigade? Most character joes are Sgt. Or better it seems,lol they gotta have someone under their command? Right? I always thought gijoe was supposed to be the best of the seals,rangers..beat of the best type stuff. But if it's off numbers that varies depending on how many there are? Last edited by Contraband; 08-26-2014 at 11:17 PM.. |

Yeah I go Marine Expeditionary Unit as well.
Marine expeditionary unit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia About 2000 strong made up of several elements including Tanks, Harrier jets and helicopters based off a amphibious carrier. Within the unit there is what is considered the Maritime Special Purpose Force which is where you would put most of the named Joes. This force is even augmented by a SEAL team. Snipers. EOD team.
