G.I. Joe was originally a line of action figures & toys from the 1960s based more on the real-world version of the US military. It's as generic as it sounds, which is probably not why you're here. In the early 80s, the toy line rebranded to be based on a fictional elite team of specialists gathered from across the US military's different branches to battle the forces of COBRA, a terrorist organization/cult that sought world domination. They gained enough attention that they earned an official comics line from Marvel Comics, but the main reason it tends to be remembered is because of the batshit crazy 80s cartoon "G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero", which basically turned the premise more into a low-key science fiction setting.
Hasbro has revealed they are planning to release an official roleplaying game for the setting based on Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition.
