Sideshow gave the Sniper a Officer chevron on the helmet but still has the Trooper Cobra pins on the collar. So I don't think they even know. I don;t have his filecard handy, anyone else?

Crimson Guards aren't really an option right now.

I'm guessing it's somewhere in between. If it's like our military, he might be assigned to a team which means he'd take orders from the officer.

Why not?That's the one I'm looking most forward to.
Sideshow has not only confirmed they're in development but also hinted at a Fred unmasked extra head too. They're definitely coming.

True, but . . .
Would a COBRA Sniper be assigning orders to COBRA Troopers and COBRA Vipers (due to no COBRA Officer being available) or would the COBRA Sniper be the same rank & file as COBRA Troopers & COBRA Vipers . . . unless a COBRA Sniper OR Viper is designated as a squad leader because a COBRA Viper is > a COBRA Trooper.

Probably a mistaken order from his supplier, and Cobra received a number of helmets in black instead of blue. Cobra Commander refused to pay or send them back, and that's how the Snipers get outfitted.
Junior officers in training, maybe?
"Just as the venom of a cobra contains neurotoxins that are capable of killing a human with a single bite, Cobra Snipers are deadly with a single shot. One of the vilest individuals on earth, COBRA Commander rarely, if ever, negotiates his demands. Instead, he uses his elite unit of snipers to demonstrate the consequences of non-compliance. From concealed positions, COBRA Snipers take care of those unwilling to give in to COBRA Commander's demands or are simply in the way of a larger agenda. In addition to their extensive infantry training and natural born marksmanship capabilities, COBRA Snipers are specialists in camouflage, infiltration, observation and reconnaissance techniques. Employing these abilities, COBRA dispatches snipers across the globe to remind the nations of the world that their most important personnel are always within reach of COBRA's fangs. Time and time again, G.I. JOE has had to deal with COBRA Snipers on the battlefield. Above being an added annoyance and source of frustration, COBRA Snipers have hit their marks more times than the Joe's are willing to admit. While respected for their abilities, their cold-blooded selection of targets incenses many of the Joes and at the same time filling COBRA Commander's heart with delight. They have no remorse and the psychological training they received from COBRA has removed any trace of conscience that may have previously affected their loyalties. These individuals are simply an extension of the venom coursing in COBRA Commander's veins.......COBRA!"
Rational explanation.
Ummmmmmmmm...yes?

Me too, but SS hasn't given us any sneak peaks let alone a release date. Oh I'll get some Crimson Guards, but I'm looking to build up the display now, or when I get my Viper (s) in hand.

After being promised that my second Exclusive version order (the one that was cancelled) would be reinstated, it still has not happened. I called Sideshow again today and they told me they would get it done.

Sideshow told me they oversold the figure and that if I wanted my second one back, they would have to take it from someone who ordered two after me.
I gave them your name...you no longer have two ordered.

Then again, that is a mixture of ranks AND specialties/designators/NEC's/warfare areas (whatever your preference).
Any officer in a true military outranks the enlisted personnel. If, in the world of GI Joe, "Viper", "Sniper" and "Trooper" are considered ranks, you know who is above who. If not, it depends on the rank of the individuals within those specialties.
I never really thought about it that much, but GI Joe didn't seem to stress rank, just specialties or warfare areas.

More often than not, while interacting with the BN they're attached to, SpecOps often have their own orders. So they would be outside of the scope of a normal chain of command and don't need to follow the orders given by the company CO if it interferes with their objective.
