Wow. This is cool. I definitely like.
And now I am having ideas about such a team operating out of Roswell using a highly retrofitted SR-71 airframe as transportation. (Think about it - they can be anywhere in the world for whatever reason within -hours- and arrive from a sub-orbital orbital drop. How cool is that?)
Team would consist of six members. Two CQC units, two heavy weapons units, an offensive ECM unit, and a stealth-sniper unit. Why the covert unit? Because it's handy as all hell to have someone watching everyone's backs, ever ready pop a depleted uranium APDSFS round into the head/cockpit of an offending Buma, Battle Mover, what have you...
The two heavies have definite emphasis on firepower - no need for subtelty here. Artillerary is shoulder-mounted partical beam cannons. Unweildly, perhaps. But as I said, there's no need for subtlety here - this dynamic duo is here to paste hard-to-kill targets.
CQC units, with all their vibroblade bayonettes and spurs, are like walking lawnmowers. Monomelecular wire, deployed from their fingertips, is another one of their weapons - a single string of atoms woven into a long molecular chain. Slices through just about anything like cheese.
The ECM unit will take his/her job to the utmost extreme. While the unit would have the capability to play bloody-hell with computer systems, it will also have the greatest amount of manuverability and a handy-dandy EMP generator (of course, this is a double-edged sword).
The sniper unit's ECM abilities are totally passive in nature. This suit-bearer's job is to stay the hell out of sight so he/she can be a Happy Camper(tm) and monitor and direct the rest of the Team - yeah, this'd be the command unit as well. It's main weapon: a huge shoulder-mounted railgun designed to fire the .22 DU-APFSDS rounds (small caliber, but you know how powerful it is) or the optional ceramic rounds (the discarding sabbot provides the necissary ferric alloy). In the unliekly event of being confronted in close quarters he/she is also equipped with an EMP generator.
All units also have a rather unique self-defense mechanism. In the event that they're overwhelmed they can deploy a very dangerous one-shot nano-weapon: a branchlike network of monomolecular thorns that can rip molecular bonds apart. As I said, it's a one-shot weapon and due to it's nature, it is inherently dangerous not only to anyone in the area, but the one who uses it as well. It is, indeed, a weapon of last resort.
