Colonel Courage stands as a perfect example of a well disciplined soldier. Properly dressed, spit shined shoes and always on the salute. He expects his subordinates to be the same and just knows exactly how to push them. He's always seen shaping his unit with organizational skills that it makes him more of an administrator of an intelligence department that he it is difficult to picture him within the battlefield. Yet, once he is in the battlefield, he can use those same skills to direct the troops like a precise honed blade, utilizing the knowledge of the abilities of every man to complete any mission.

Trivia

• Colonel Courage was never released in the UK, due primarily to slow US sales.
• All though Colonel Courage never appeared in G.I. Joe media, a similar character called Colonel Sharp was created for the show. He was in command of the G.I. Joe team, giving orders to Duke, in season 1 of the Sunbow series. Sharp was cut for season 2, changing the chain of command to General Hawk, Duke, Flint and Beachhead
• Colonel Courage's given name, Cliff V. Mewett, is the same as Airwave's. No explanation has been given as to why the two have the same name nor why one is Caucasian from Louisville, Kentucky, and one is African-American from Boston.
