Greenshirts - Support, maintenance and cannon fodder.
The Steel Corps - Light air support. The Steel Corps fight Trubble Bubbles and C.L.A.W.S. and they provide support to Sky Hawk's Vipers - For right now in my JOEverse they're the equivalent to the Rangers. This may change. Crimson Army Builders - With the exception of the SieGies any Crimson army builders are Serpentor's personal troops and they're under his command. Naturally their the best troops in COBRA Command and getting this assignment is the highest of honors. Being that they're the COBRA emperor's personal troops higher ranking officers in COBRA regular forces don't issue orders to troops in the Crimson Brigade and officers don't ask for assistance from the Crimson Brigade unless the situation is dire. Asking for help from emperor's personal troops can result in the officer asking for to (at a minimum) losing rank and his command or at worst death. The Emperor feels as if his officers should have enough skill of tactics and strategy not to get themselves in that end up being f.u.b.a.r.

Greenshirts are Fobbits (Non-Combat Support Personnel) - Communications, Medical, R&D Personnel
Steel Corps fills roles that see Combat. They can be apart of a Tank or Helicopter Crew or be on one of my 16-Man Teams Vipers - I'm still trying to figure out. Anything Crimson I use as members of the Crimson Strike Team. |

Green Shirts, Cobra Soldiers, and Cobra Officers are mostly canon fodder the expendable ones. Officers do command the soldiers on the field.
Steel Corps elite GI Joe covert soldiers often act as ghosts. Vipers act largely as elite saboteurs for COBRA. Crimson Guardsmen the honor guards of COBRA and the security for the Cobra Commander. |

There were never any nameless Greenshirts in my head-canon as a kid. I know they randomly popped up in the cartoon and probably the comics but for me, GI Joe was very small, and they only had one vehicle of each. One Skystriker, one Armadillo, one WHALE, etc.
Cobra outnumbered them about 10 to 1, allowing the Joes to mow down the faceless hordes like it was The Alamo. |

My answer's gonna be a little different since my joeverse exists mostly for RPG and tactical gaming), but most of the troops listed above exist at one of 5 levels. As characters level up they get skills and specialties and might be promoted into new classes.
My levels are as follows 0 = civilian (no combat training) 1 = "green" shirts (aka bronze corps) / cobra troopers 2 = "gray" shirts (aka iron corps) / vipers 3 = "blue" shirts (aka steel corps) / crimson guards 4 = named "hero" characters

Steel Corps is the name of the unit in-universe, while G.I. Joe is the brandname in our world. The individual figures of Duke, Roadblock, etc., are them in their "casual" looks when on-base. They started-off with the Greeshirt look when on missions, then upgraded to the Steel Corps one.
Cobra Troopers and Vipers are one and the same. The '82 designs were replaced by the '86 ones. The Crimson Guard are CC's personal security. |

I forgot to add the Action Solider and Recon Diver. The Action Solide is regular Army combat personnel while Recon Diver is DEVGRU.

Welp lord knows Ive written enough with this.So here we go:
GI Joe : Fobbits - Tech guys, Comm guys, Meds...basic people to keep the base running The Green Shirts- They are the soldiers on various bases doing the security and protection of locations and equipment The Steele Brigade- These off-base combat units normally support official Delta combatants. Ex( Send Dialtone, Mainframe, and HI-Tech to take out a satellite dish and add 5 Steel Brigade with them.) DELTA (Code named Joes) with their specialties, designated to certain missions depending on the needed skill set.
