Beachhead has had 15 prior incarnations starting in 1986. His most iconic for me, however, is probably his POC version, bringing the ranger back into this century.
From the classic filecard:
File Name: Sneeden, Wayne, R.

Primary Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Specialty: Small Arms Armorer
Beach Head was a lane instructor at the Ranger School in Fort Benning and an Observer/Advisor at the Covert Ops School in Central America. He’s meticulous, patient, and strong-willed. He likes getting up at 0500 hours to take a ten-mile run and PT(Physical Training) session before breakfast. He enjoys squatting motionless beside a jungle trail for three days straight waiting to ambush bad guys that might never show up. What he hates is people who aren’t interested in doing their best. Qualified expert all NATO and Warsaw Pact small arms.
“Most folks will get mad on occasion or at least get irritable–not Beach Head. He thinks anger is a waste of time and energy. Rage clouds the vision and pollutes logic. Fury impairs judgement and makes you careless. The results of anger are totally unacceptable to Beach Head. He doesn’t get angry… he gets even.”
