RECONDO has been flying prop-jets and helicopters since he was 17 years old. Naturally, when he enlisted in the Army, he immediately put in for helicopter training. Recondo served with the 7th Airmobile Assault Unit when it put down an uprising on a small Caribbean nation! His greatest achievement was when he launched a bold and highly successful counterattack against an entire enemy brigade! At the end of his tour, Recondo attended Flight School for advanced training and now leads the Tiger Force aerial reconnaissance unit!
"I sure thought we were history that day! The enemy was everywhere and we were running out of ammo - fast! Then, before anybody knew what was what, Recondo hopped into the Apache and took off to launch his own counterattack!
The man was crazy, but if it wasn't for his courage, I wouldn't be telling this story today!"

Hasbro didn't just repaint figures. Look how similar the original WIld Bill card art (below) is to this Recondo card (above).
Of the 10 Tiger Force Joes, 8 were pure repaints. Skystriker and Duke were a mix of a couple previous figures' parts.
Recondo is a repaint of the 1984 original.
