Rainbow 6 is fictional. Rainbow 6 is the callsign of the leader and main character of the story. The team's callsign is Rainbow because it drew operators from all sorts of countries. As far as the colors and squadron stuff goes, I wouldn't know about any of that. I wasn't a frogman.

Rainbow 6 is fictional yes, but it came from the old ST6 name. Clancy got all his names from all the groups, he made the team in the books a fictional team of a world spec ops team. But he put John Clark in charge as a nod to the og Rainbow. Its why they ST6 are also referred to as the "Colors"
