Fullmetal Alchemist - The Military
The Hero	Roy Mustang
The Lancer	Lt. Riza Hawkeye (She's always by Mustang's side, serving as his sole confidante - she is also the highest ranked besides Mustang, and generally level-headed where the other guys are completely lost. She also keeps Mustang on track and serves as his bodyguard on occasion. Considering the implied relationship, she's almost a cross between being his Battle Butler and his Violently Protective Girlfriend.)
The Big Guy	Lt. Jean Havoc (It seems Breda would be, but Havoc is the most experienced (aside from Hawkeye and Mustang) in combat. Serves more in this capacity in the manga then the anime, in the anime he serves as more of the team butt monkey or even the Chick then anything else.)
The Smart Guy	Lt Heymans Breda, WO Vato Falman (He looks like the big guy, but truth is Breda is a tactical genius, though this is more an informed ability then anything else. He often does the espionage work for Mustang, including picking up Dr Marcoh, supervising illegal border crossings, and interrogating Maria Ross. Warrant Officer Falman might also count considering he has a photographic memory and a more 'Spock' like manner.)
Tagalong Kid	Master Sergeant Kain Fuery (He's the techie, almost useless at fighting, and has the lowest rank of all the assembled team. He'd be the smart guy, except Breda and Falman are much smarter then he is. Often gets in the way when fighting breaks out.)

The Hero	Satsuki Miyanoshita

The Big Guy and The Chick	Momoko Koigakubo (she's a sweet Ill Girl and a Damsel in Distress, but is also the tallest and oldest of the group and has channelized powerful spirits specifically, Satsuki's mother's ghost at least twice)
Tagalong Kid	Keiichirou Miyanoshita
The Mentor	Amanojyaku (also Team Pet) and Kayako
