In the early 2000s, the Club made the Steel Brigade an international security and peacekeeping force for their Convention set. This idea stuck with me and over the years, I've added a few Steel Brigade customs to my ranks.

I started from this idea: ''The Steel Brigade is a paramilitary team that follows GI Joe into SWARM infested areas. The Steel Brigade is responsible for mopping up SWARM stragglers, securing and holding areas, law enforcement, crowd control and insuring relief efforts for the affected populations.'' I then set about creating team members that fit those roles.

If Peacemaker is the dove, Buffer Zone is the hawk. He was the second member and the commander of the team. I tried to create a look that stayed true to the spirit of the original Steel Brigade figure. I gave him the traditional colors, kneepads, the bandolier and an SBD helmet. Of the five members of the team, I tried to make Buffer Zone the most realistic military. He has the least amount of blue, wears the heavy field jacket and has the most ''grounded'' accessories.
