Code Name: Taipans
Specialty/Function: Cobra Commando
------------------------------------------
Taipans are the Special Forces for COBRA. They are selected from the best of the COBRA Snow Serpents. They must go through a rigorous selection process that includes day and night land navigation, long marches with 100+ lb packs. Those that survive the selection process go onto the Taipan qualification course where they learn close quarters combat, hand-to-hand combat and small unit tactics. Following the qualification course each Taipan is trained in one of four specialized areas: communications, demolitions, weapons, combat medicine or leadership.
------------------------------------------
Taipans are fast, highly venomous snakes and COBRA's version is no different. They are COBRA's equivalent to SEALs or Green Berets. Trained to operate in small units and to cause as much damage using surgical strikes; Taipans are COBRA Commander's choice for missions where failure is not an option. Fortunately for GI Joe there are very few Taipans due to the rigorous selection and training processes.

This custom is of a Taipan team-leader. As with special forces the world over, Taipans wear a beret to distinguish themselves from the rest of COBRA's minions.
