For example, he did not know that a klick meant a kilometer. However his knowledge of the drug trade would sometimes come in handy. He would replace C.J. as the team's comic relief as well as electronics specialist. Other members Billy Gallo - Ricardo "Rico" Valesquez (former Navy SEAL; underwater infiltration, combat medic, signals) Rico Valesquez was a former Navy Corpsmen who joined the SEALs. Little is known about Petty Officer Valesquez, on account that he was not a regular member of the team. When Major Shepherd first recruited him, he was no longer in the Navy but was working as an EMT in Los Angeles, California. After he got a victim to the hospital, he was seen praying for her using a crucifix. This implies that he was probably a Roman Catholic. Valesquez was injured in their first mission as a team, when he was shot in the arm. He would attend rehab and would eventually get full use of his arm back. Rico would later be seen aiding Major Shepherd in his rehab after the Major was shot in both his legs. It is unclear as to whether or not Rico was doing full-time rehab or if he just came back to help Major Shepherd. Rico would make another appearance to aid the team when Katrina Herrera would kidnap Benny Ray's son. Brian Cousins - Lieutenant Gunter Hauer (former GSG 9; demolitions, electrical engineering.) Gunter Hauer was from Germany, other than C.J., he was the only member of the team who was not an American. During the first mission he was seen portraying a UN inspector in Iraq. However he died before the team left Iraq, Shepard the one who carried him "home"; as such very little about him was ever explained. Shepard had some of the payment go to Hauer and his family. Although Hauer is supposed to be German, the actor who played him, Brian Cousins, was in fact born in Portland, Maine.
