Default Re: [IW] ISWAT "NCIS" (or CSI-type) roles and characters....

For Charachterization, I love this link

Im not too familiar with infinite worlds, but What you'll need could largely be filled by the Archetypes laid out in ACTION 1.

I would suggest

Wire Rat/Hacker (digs in and pulls out data)
Faceman/Investigator (Talks to people and gets data)
Shooter (Or melee Heavy)/Demolitions (Kills people and blows stuff up)

For a 3 person group.

from there you could divide the duties or add

Wheelman/Medic
Assasin/Cleaner

Doing a direct mapping from the show is different as they often display whatever skills and knowledge the writers need for that episode.
