Why was the JOE team formed? What was the event or series of events that led to the creation of the JOE team?

Both. Even though the gensis for the formation in the Sunbow continuity is explained in the monologue to the theme song.

The ARAH comics from the 1980/90s revealed Kennedy created the Joes in 1963 as a "group of knights to defend the new Camelot". Presumably, there was some kind of super-secret Joe team around from then until 1982 when the comic began. But given that in the Origin of Snake Eyes story Scarlett was putting the likes of Steeler, Breaker and Snake Eyes through a hand-to-hand refresher course when she first met Snakes, the unit may have been disbanded and then reinstated or something.

The team was reactivated in the early 80's, which is when Hawk was tabbed to be the new head honcho and put together his team (basically the story of "GI Joe: Declassified").

I would just read the history of Delta Force and call it a day. In issue one the say G.I Joe is a code name for Delta. The mission where snake eyes is disfigured was not subtle in following the delta plan to rescue the hostages.

Yup. I'd add that Joe (Colton) himself said something along the lines of "I was an adventurer for awhile". So I like to think that sometime in the 70's, the team was deactivated or put on hiatus and Joe did his thing with "the Adventure Team". You could even say that, during this time, Joe and his team built the super-secret stuff below what became the Pit III in Utah.
