Wreckage perfected his craft at the Army Jungle Warfare Training Center, where he served as a member of the OpFor (Opposing Forces) cadre. It was his job to play the enemy in training exercises, and he took his job very seriously indeed. His favorite trick was to sneak up behind a trainee and write "bang, you're dead," on the back of his helmet without his knowing Wreckage was there. Once, he booby-trapped a drink cooler with a live skunk and left it in the path of a thirsty trainee patrol. His methods may have been irregular, but they worked; his victims never forget the lessons he taught them. Any demolitions specialist can set a charge and blow something up, but Wreckage is also an expert in defusing and disarming demolitions. This is quite an asset in hostile territory where one is apt to find all sorts of dangerous stuff just lying around waiting to be stepped on or activated by a trip wire. He is even better at spotting these troublesome devices and avoiding them entirely, which is why the other members of Tiger Force are always glad to have Wreckage along on any mission.
Wreckage was considered for assignment to Tiger Force in 1988 under the codename Sabertooth. Most likely due to Wreckage's unavailability at the time, he was instead later enlisted with G.I. Joe and Tiger Force in 2003.
