Super Soldier Character Idea

Someone asked about super soldier characters on Bluesky, and I got to thinking. For every guy in the field, there's a bunch of guys providing support so that guy in the field can fight. So while *Erskine is focusing creating super-fighty guy, someone else focuses on creating the super-supply clerk.

He's not any more useful in a fight than your average Joe. He can, however, funnel supplies to where they will be needed, when they are needed.

I think this may be Radar O'Reilly's origin story.

(And yes, the LSH would turn him down)
