casper imaging

@Dalmatian AutoCasperNBI can be used to create a Restorable DMG that could be restored to a USB stick.

This will take an OS.dmg created via Composer, Casper Admin or AutoDMG & creates a DMG that meets some of the needs of Casper Imaging.

Basically, the OS needs to boot into the root user.. & CasperImaging needs the JSS URL at in its preferences.

Yep, that's certainly one good way to skin this cat. In short, you need an OS installed on the USB drive, and Casper Imaging on there somewhere you're A-OK. Using something like AutoCasperNBI, which is intended to make easy convenience NBIs, can also be used for this purpose. I hadn't really thought of it until @bentoms mentioned it but that does seem like a neat and quick way to produce ever newer bootable USB stick. It keeps you prepped for NetBoot deployment or other HDD/SSD based imaging.
