Yeah I tend to disregard wiki 95% of the time too. The 5% is when I know the information is absolutely correct. Like the name spellings. Lol.
Ok, it's late, I can't sleep, and i've got nothing to do. Why not? i'll try to explain these to the best of my ability. Feel free to correct me if im wrong on some, alot of these were hard to find.
Albert Wesker (A) and Enrico Marini (B) -Mission Leaders: Uh, these two just sit on their ass and tell everyone else what to do. Lol, nah they guide the group and all that decide what actions are gonna be taken and stuff like that.
Christopher Redfield (A)Kenneth Sullivan (B) -Pointman: Chris and Ken are assigned to a position that's a distance ahead of the patrol where they serve as lookouts. It seems to be a hazardous role.
Barry Burton (A) Richard Aiken (B) -Back up men: These two take the place of a team mate who is unavailable. So if Chris or somebody else gets f**ked up in a middle of a mission or calls in sick, ect, expect Barry or Richard to take their place.
Joseph Frost (A) Forest Speyer (B) -Omni Man and Vehicle Specialist: Hmmmmm, according to a few definitions I found omni is part a word that mean "all" sooooo, im guessing that they might have done a little bit of everything if needed. For example, let's say one of the STARS members were assigned to tending to weapons that day. Joseph or Forest could help out I guess. And it would sorta explain why Joseph was the camera man. Sorry, with such an unfamiliar word, it's the best conclusion I could come to on that one.
Vehicle specialist: Ummmm, im guessing that they're just the experts on the vehicles???
Jill Valentine (A) Brad Vickers (A) Edward Dewey (B) Rebecca Chambers (B) -Rear Security: Ok...from what I read I think this is how it goes...These guys are a formation that actually stay a distance from the rest and their main concern are the supplies and...stuff. That sounds kinda right. Brad and Edward were both left with all the weapons the in helicopters. EDIT: My bad, I think that was Kevin not Edward. I suppose they are to tend to what ever is needed just incase extra weapons are needed, Brad giving Chris/Jill the rocket laucher is a good example.
Brad Vickers (A) Kevin Dooley (B) -Pilots: These two are the team Chefs. They cook meals for the team daily and occasionally fry donuts for their fellow team mates...Hopefully we all know what pilot really means.
Seperate jobs
Christopher Redfield (A) -Marksman: Basically if you phuck with this guy he'll bust a cap in your ass, for he is highly skilled at shooting at marks and targets. (Not from what I've seen >_> I mean, how many times did he shoot at Excella in that one cut-scene? How close what she? If you ask me all of them could use some shooting lessons.) BTW I think Forest Might have been a Markman as well.
Barry Burton (A) -Weapons Specialist: An expert in the weapons department. (That's all i could come up with.)
Jill Valentine (A) -B&A Specialist: Im so sorry, i've looked everywhere and found absolutely NOTHING whatsoever on what a B&A Specialist is.
Brad Vickers (A) -Computer Specialist: This pretty much defines itself. It's the one man geek squad, Brad is a computer expert. He takes care of the computers and all that. I think Brad also works on communications as seen in RE1
Kenneth Sullivan (B) -Field Scout: He is the one that is dispatched from the rest of the team to gather information. Hmmmm, not that muct different from his pointman job.
Richard Aiken (B) -Communications: From what I read, Richard is responsible for sending and recieving messages, orders, ya know valuble information. If something goes down (I dunno a bank robbery) and he's contacted on that device you see in the STARS room with all the gadgets it's his responsiblilty to get that infomation to his captain Enrico and the others if needed.
Rebbeca Chambers (B) -Medic: She puts band aids on you.
