Recruit Handbook

The 47th Draken Company is an Arma 3 Clone Wars Starsim unit built around teamwork, communication, and organized combined-arms operations.

• New members are expected to learn, work with their assigned element, and help maintain a respectful unit environment.

Recruitment begins through the unit Discord and continues through intake and initial training.

A Clone Recruit is a trainee learning the unit's standards before becoming a full Clone Trooper.

• Recruits report through their assigned instructor or element leadership.
• Recruits should ask questions whenever a procedure or order is unclear.
• Restricted specialist positions require the proper qualification or instructor supervision.
• Completion of BCT, acceptable conduct, and demonstrated teamwork are required for advancement.

BCT establishes the common skills every member needs before joining normal operations.

• Unit structure and chain of command.
• Movement, formations, spacing, and security.
• Weapon safety and marksmanship.
• Radio procedures and callsigns.
• Self-aid, buddy-aid, and calling for a medic.
• Rules of engagement and positive identification.
• Urban movement and entry procedures.
• A final practical evaluation of the recruit's basic skills.

Recruits may state where they want to serve. Final placement depends on openings, qualifications, performance, and unit needs.

An MOS adds a specialized battlefield responsibility after the required training is completed.

• Medic - battlefield treatment and casualty stabilization.
• RTO / JTAC - long-range radio operation and air-ground coordination.
• Mortar Crew - coordinated indirect-fire support.
• Holding an MOS qualification does not automatically guarantee a billet.

Real life comes first, but communication allows squads and instructors to plan around absences.

• Attend the operations and training events you sign up for.
• Notify leadership when plans change.
• Use the unit LOA process for an extended absence.
• Repeated inactivity without communication may affect assignment or membership status.

All recruits are expected to protect the unit's respectful and mission-focused environment.

• Treat members, guests, and attached units with respect.
• Follow lawful leadership orders and ask for clarification when needed.
• Do not team-kill, grief, harass, sabotage, or exploit the server.
• Keep operational communications professional and mission relevant.
• Never misuse Zeus, staff, instructor, or administrative permissions.
• Follow the current Standard Operating Procedures.

Arrive ready so the mission does not have to wait for preventable technical or equipment problems.

• Update and load the current modpack.
• Verify TeamSpeak, radio plugins, microphone, and keybinds.
• Use the uniform and loadout assigned to your billet.
• Check weapons, ammunition, medical supplies, radio, and specialist equipment.
• Join early enough to resolve problems and attend the full mission briefing.

Clear communications keep every element coordinated during training and combat.

• Use Discord for announcements, tickets, schedules, and unit administration.
• Use TeamSpeak and assigned radio channels during operations.
• Listen before transmitting and use the correct callsign.
• Keep radio traffic short and relevant while tactical or command nets are active.
• Read back information that affects movement, fires, aviation, or emergencies.

Rank represents progression and responsibility; a billet is the job a member is assigned to perform.

• Time in Grade is the minimum time served at a rank.
• Time in Billet is the minimum time served in a position.
• Some promotions also require operation counts or a leadership review board.
• A temporary assignment or qualification does not guarantee permanent rank or billet placement.

Specialist qualifications show that a member can perform a task safely and consistently with the current modpack.

• Training announcements and available courses are posted through unit channels.
• Instructors control the training lane and evaluate practical performance.
• Specialist equipment may only be used within qualification and command authorization.
• Retraining may be required after major mod changes, long inactivity, or repeated performance problems.
