1. Chill out with Big Boss in Afghanistan.

2. Get so involved in Diamond Dogs business that Miller (and maybe Big Boss) has him doing their interrogations.

3. Rescue Big Boss on horseback like a prince.

Ocelot is reckless as shit (his idea of helping you back in 1964 was to constantly try to shoot you), but this seems awfully helpful for someone who ought to care that it would blow some serious cover. Ocelot might be the uneasy alliance between Cipher and Diamond Dogs: Both former members of FOX are threatened by XOF, so Zero sends Ocelot to help Big Boss take them out. By the end of it, Zero thinks they've reconciled and gives Big Boss control over FOXHOUND, while Big Boss continues to secretly work against Zero with the development of Outer Heaven (hence what EVA says in MGS4: That Zero felt "betrayed" by Big Boss when he learned of the Outer Heaven uprising). I think this is pretty much the way it will go. I think Ocelot will be the peace broker who will convince Big Boss to return to America and retake control of Foxhound under the US Government. Big Boss will do so but will continue to secretly build up Outer Heaven - recruiting soldiers and gathering resources etc. to one day stage an all out attack against the Patriots. The Patriots being all knowing will find out about his plan and initiate Operation Intrude N312/3 through their influence within the government by putting it around that Big Boss is a terrorist. As far as who joined Foxhound and when we know Ocelot joined after Big Boss's supposed death but I think Miller only joined after 1995 as Campbell's second in command. He seems to be a lot more angry at Cipher than Big Boss so perhaps the two of them fall out in TPP due to Big Boss's willingness to make a truce with them and they disband Diamond Dogs as a result. If you pay attention to the dialogue in MG2 it appears that Solid Snake has never met him prior to that so it fits.
