While hoping against hope that the POC Alley Viper was back in stock I noticed something. On the original filecards Beachhead was always simply listed as 'Ranger.' POC defines him as 'Urban Combat Specialist.' Check it out:
G.I. JOE BEACHHEAD Urban Combat Specialist - Product Detail They still state he's a former Army Ranger but with Urban Warfare as his primary function with the joe team. The POC Alley Vipers pick up on this and talk about battling one-on-one with Beachhead: G.I. JOE ALLEY-VIPER COBRA Urban Trooper - Product Detail This would seem to make POC Beachhead a joe version of the Alley Viper. I think thats a pretty cool take on great character to begin with. What about you? Last edited by Dod Ear; 06-19-2010 at 02:15 PM.. |

yeah...i'll subscribe to that when i was with battalion nearly all of our training was urban ops (UO or if you're old school like me it's MOUT)
"door kickers" its an affectionate term...while also being accurate |

Yea Rangers are getting a lot of extra Urban training now a days. Since outside of Afganistan most of the hot spots the US deals with have Urban encounters.

Urban = related to cities.
Urban warfare is used more then city warfare. I guess since city warfare sounds more like city verses city.

Didn't know, but that's a good idea...
I really like the Resolute Beachhead, and love the PoC one too. This means i can keep Reso BH as him, and use the PoC BH as some sort of Joe alley vipers... Beachead's roughnecks!

Marines too. The only training that really mattered to us was MOUT. "Kickin' doors, slappin' whores."
