I let em exist side by side with the Viper being slightly above in equipment and training. Cobra Trooper being the Army with Vipers being slightly heavier armed, better trained like the Marines.

I think Hasbro intended the Viper to be the replacement for the blu shirts, much like the Joe replacements.
I like to think of the blue shirts as standard infantry and the Vipers as a Ranger-type unit.

They way I think of it is like evolution of the force. Like with any other military force you have a starting point and go through changes. The blue shirts evolve into Vipers as the most basic trooper; then you have your more specialized personel, ie: Techno Vipers, Alley Vipers, etc.
Here's how you can kinda look at it: Blue Shirts - Basic Infantry Viper - Basic Infantry (Blue Shirt evolution into better equipped trooper) Eels/Techno Viper/Alley Viper/Crimson Guard/etc. - Specialty Vipers with more advanced training in specific fields I try not to read too much into File Cards(blasphemy, I know) the only real thing I take from the file cards are their specialties; ie: Viper - Basic Infantry Combat/Some Could be trained as Marines as well I suppose Alley Viper - Urban Combat Eels - Water Combat Para Viper - Airborne Insertion Combat Techno Viper - Intel/Communications/Cyber Terrorism But one of the cool things about the Joe Verse is that you can spin it any way you want.

are Vipers really part of Cobra, compared to regular Cobra troopers and others, contrary to popular belief, Ive never really seen too much action out of the Vipers
