IDW continuity[]

Duke was a member of a unit stationed in the Middle East. On a routine patrol, his unit was ambushed. Despite the loss of 70% of their vehicles and several men, he was able to bring the fight back to their attackers, an action that brought him to the attention of Hawk, who recruited him to the Joe Team. [1]

On one of his earliest assignments for the Joe Team, Duke was on a mix of a training evolution and an actual mission. Despite some vague references as to what was the actual mission, Scarlettand he, with the help of a civilian, figured they were to rescue Snake Eyes from Chimera.[2] Informed by shared intel from the FBI, they determined Chimera aimed to topple—with the assistance of "home-grown anti-government groups, anarchists, tax-resistors, [and] survivalists"—the United States with an assault on two fronts.[3] They tracked him to an abandoned base in the Nevada desert. Despite the odds stacked against his team, he leads them to overcome Chimera’s men.[4][5][6]
