Ghosts of battle will be trying our best to keep it simple (KISS) in all aspect of operation, with the exception of the difficulty level of the operations. The operations will be against skilled AI, often peer level AI.

We are also not trying to pretend to be any particular type of real world unit, how we approached a mission will be based on attendance and the skill set of those in attendance. 

Example:

Say we only have 8 in attendance for an op, how we approach the mission with be what someone call a SOF style (two teams of 4) , where if the attendance is around 24 it might be more of a infantry platoon method (two squads each with two team leaders). 

This is very simple, we get in other server, get kit'ed, brief and step off all in 15 mins of the start time. If your late your late, and when there is time will will get to you but thoses who were on time come first.

Lets be honest who else is tired of showing up for a 2 hour op, that's only about an hour cause the first thirty to forty-five minutes was spent dicking off, wasting everyone's time, YEAH WE DON'T DO THAT 

• Leaders (LT and up)  show up thirty minutes early (good leaders will have a METTC-A ready before op)

• At :01 after start your a minute late (have your kit done before OP, or take what we give you)

• :05 after sections are balanced, and every one should be seated for the briefing

• :06 briefing (should only last about 5 minutes we are doing an ARMA op not invading a country that just discovered oil, well ok maybe we are)

• :15 we step off,  

A big keep is simple here, we've seen allot of units fail just do there being to much extra work to be done, THIS IS A GAME not a 2nd or 3rd job. There will be no S shops or sections.

What we do instead of S shops:

S1, personnel,  Managed in the custom mod, and in Discord 

S2, for intelligence and security, The mission/OP maker will be responsible the complete package will done before we ever start the OP.

S3, for operations, See S2, 

S4, for logistics, buy your own beer

S5, for plans, Its cute you think there is a plan. 

S6, for signals, Use discord.

S7, for military education and training, Going to be honest I love training and the role of trainer, but folks don't listen,  (Depth Breath), but really hard to cram 16 or so weeks of basic and Infantry school in to an hour, this may make folks feel high speed but its a waist of time.

but.. but.. 

look the best thing you can do is play with your section, playing is the best training there is. 

S8, for finance and contracts. The Bills are Paid, servers are owned, and paid for, everything is paid for so no funding drives.

S9, for Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC) or civil affairs. LOL, wait some units have this

Are suckers folks we entrust to help move things along here, SGT's and higher.

Our ranks are based on what ARMA provides,

Simply twelve person squad is lead by a Capitan. (why cause ArmA gives only 3 enlisted ranks)

• The breakdown of roles  will be per OP, decided in the great length of time between the OP start and Briefing 

• Assignments  will be provided for Corporal and above, everyone else remember how dodge ball teams got picked gym in school.

1. Security

2. Always moving, [getting pend down in a fight will get you killed against our AI, (evil laugh) trust us.]

3. Fast paced 

4. To be honest this is a work in progress.

Again we don't really do that , well expect sort of well,,,

We have no Basic, you can learn as we go OJT

But ( here are the butts)

• If you want to learn a skill, Medic, EOD, JFIRES, then ask and a SGT(or above) and they will take some time to help you learn

• Once a SGT(or above) has vouched for you, the skill will be granted in game.

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. 

2. Bring all of your friends who have guns. 

3. Bring their friends who have guns.

4. If you can, make friends with those on the crew served weapons. 

   1. • • • • Bring them as well. 

            • Borrow money from them, it gives them an added incentive to protect you.

5. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

6. Only hits count. Close doesn’t count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

7. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.

8. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

9. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

10. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating 

    1. • • • (calling for arty or air support), 

           • reloading, 

           • or running.

11. Accuracy is relative: 

    1. • • • most combat shooting is more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun.

12. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.”

13. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, 

    1. • • • but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

14. In combat, there are no rules, The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

15. Have a plan.

    1. • Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.

       • Have a back-up, back-up plan in case 

16. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The only visible target should be in your gun sights.

17. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect your flank.

18. Don’t drop your guard.

19. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

22. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
