This page gives every member the basic standards used during official operations, training, qualifications, briefings, debriefings, and other unit-directed events. A lawful order, current operation briefing, or more specific training document takes priority when it directly applies.
01
Purpose and Authority
The SOP is the common baseline for unit conduct, training, communications, and operations.
Follow immediate lawful orders and the current operation briefing first.
Specialized training documents control technical subjects when they are more specific.
Mission leadership may adjust procedures for terrain, objectives, enemy action, or technical limits.
When guidance is unclear, ask the next appropriate leader instead of assuming.
02
Conduct and Chain of Command
Members must keep unit activities respectful, organized, and mission focused.
Treat members, guests, attached units, and prospective recruits with respect.
Follow lawful orders promptly and ask for clarification when needed.
Report through fireteam or squad leadership before escalating routine matters.
Keep disputes out of operational channels and never misuse staff, Zeus, instructor, or administrative access.
Team-killing, griefing, sabotage, exploit abuse, and intentional disruption are prohibited.
03
Assignments and Leadership
Personnel operate in the billet and element assigned for the event unless leadership reassigns them.
A billet gives authority only within that function.
Temporary leaders hold the authority needed for the task but remain responsible for their element.
Leaders maintain accountability, pass orders, report casualties and shortages, and coordinate specialists.
If orders conflict, follow the newer order from the higher operational authority and notify the affected leader.
04
Attendance Training and Qualifications
Members should be prepared, properly qualified, and ready before an event begins.
Use the attendance or LOA process for extended absences and give notice when plans change.
Arrive early enough to load the correct modset, equipment, and communications.
Restricted billets require the proper qualification or direct instructor supervision.
Instructors evaluate practical performance and may stop unsafe, disruptive, or invalid attempts.
Retraining may be required after major mod changes, long inactivity, or repeated performance problems.
05
Uniforms Equipment and Communications
Use the assigned loadout, callsign, and radio net for the billet and mission.
Check ammunition, medical supplies, radio, and specialist tools before step-off.
Do not add restricted or unnecessary equipment without leadership approval.
Listen before transmitting and keep radio traffic short and mission relevant.
Confirm information that affects movement, fires, aviation, or emergency action.
Keep command and support nets clear of unnecessary conversation.
06
Rules of Engagement and Movement
Positive identification, formation discipline, spacing, and mutual support apply at all times.
Know the current ROE and hold fire when the target or authority to engage is unclear.
Specialist fires, including mortar, aviation, AT/AA, and grenadier support, require the same PID standard as rifle fire.
Stay with the assigned element and maintain the directed formation, spacing, and sector.
Report contact, obstacles, casualties, and missing personnel without abandoning the formation.
Every member remains responsible for local security.
07
Urban Operations and Medical Care
Controlled entries and immediate casualty care protect the element during close combat.
Stack as directed, wait for the breach command, enter in order, clear the assigned sector, and avoid blocking the entry.
Report uncleared rooms, hazards, casualties, and route changes.
Use self-aid and buddy-aid, control severe bleeding, move casualties to cover when needed, and call for a medic early.
Pass treatment information during casualty handoff.
Advanced medical procedures follow the current 47th Medical Training Document.
08
Vehicles Aviation and Specialists
Ground assets, aircraft, and specialists remain coordinated with the supported maneuver element.
Use only authorized vehicles and confirm crew, passengers, route, and communications before movement.
Report vehicle damage, ammunition, fuel, mobility, mine, IED, or air-defense concerns that affect the mission.
Specialists remain under the tactical chain while leading technical decisions inside their qualification.
Specialist equipment may only be used within qualification and command authorization.
09
Briefings Reports and Records
Operations begin with a clear plan and end with enough documentation to understand what occurred.
Briefings cover the objective, end state, chain of command, assignments, ROE, radio plan, support assets, and relevant insertion, extraction, resupply, and medical details.
Leadership may conduct a debrief and request an After Action Report.
Keep AARs, disciplinary reports, qualifications, attendance, LOA, ORBAT, roster, and logistics records factual and accurate.
Separate observations from conclusions and protect sensitive personnel information.
10
Promotions Awards and Discipline
Advancement and recognition depend on unit needs, performance, qualifications, conduct, and eligibility.
A qualification or temporary assignment does not guarantee a billet, rank, or promotion.
Use published award standards and record recognition consistently.
Corrective action may include counseling, a written warning, retraining, probation, suspension, billet removal, demotion, or removal from the unit.
Formal incidents should be recorded through the Disciplinary Action Report process.
11
Server and Technical Standards
Members are responsible for maintaining the current server setup, modset, keybinds, radios, and mission framework.
Resolve known mod, keybind, loadout, or communication issues before operations when possible.
Report repeatable technical problems with enough information for staff to investigate.
Do not exploit mods, scripts, or server behavior for an unfair or disruptive advantage.
Current server behavior and updated training documents replace outdated technical assumptions.
12
Safety Compliance and Updates
Stop preventable failures early and remain familiar with the current written guidance.
Hold the action when continuing would clearly worsen a medical, explosive, aviation, communication, or friendly-fire problem.
Announce emergencies promptly and follow specialist or command direction.
Re-establish accountability before normal movement resumes after a major incident.
Command may revise this SOP as doctrine, leadership decisions, the modpack, or unit needs change.
Repeated or deliberate non-compliance may enter the formal corrective-action process.
