| G.I. JANE was a military operative whose cover was as a combat nurse. In missions around the globe, she provided her medical skills and scientific expertise in strategic defense technology. When G.I. JOE formed his covert team, he recruited her as a scientific specialist while maintaining her official cover as a nurse. She eventually "left" the military to get a Ph.D. in physics; while she no longer appeared in the active roster, she had, in fact, moved to deep cover operations. When G.I. JOE "retired" from the team and became head of secret military defense installation, he brought G.I. JANE onto the team as the lead scientist. Through her work in high-energy particle physics, she was instrumental in the development of a rapid-pulse electron beam to be used for global defense initiatives.
"It takes all kinds of soldiers to fight COBRA. I battle them by developing scientific technology. Of course, when I'm up to my ears in COBRA thugs, just throw me an M16 and get out of my way."
