A United States Army Handguide

Chapter 1:

Introduction

You enter the training warehouse, you see that you have a Recruit or maybe multiple. You will need to first Gather them in a single Column Shoulder to shoulder pointing to you. Once the Recruits are in line and have full attention, you should follow these step:

Introduce yourself to them “Welcome Recruits to Training, i am (Rank)(Name)”, as an example “Welcome Recruits to Training, i am SGT. Papa Frankoo”.
After you’ve been given your Rank and Name, you must explain PTS (Permission to speak). If you don't know an easy way to do this, ask them to quiet down if there speak, and say

“PTS is active, whenever in a formal setting or an NCO or Co calls PTS you will not speak in voice chat without permission to do so. If you’d like permission type in General chat “PTS” and the NCO or CO will either Grant or Deny it”

*You will want to explain PTS, as soon as possible, if not you'll find the recruits will constantly talk over you, or each other.*

With their obedience, now you can begin with the Questions, so you can get an idea on where your recruits are, (OOC questions)

Are you recruits ready to join into the extensive Role Playing server and its community? (If anyone says no, Then don't train them because they have no intent to play)
Have you played on a Roleplay server before?
Have you played on a Military Rp Server before?
Do you have any questions before we start the training?

Chapter 2:

Chat Commands

During this Portion of the training, you will be teaching the recruits the uses of each chat function. Mostly the recruits will know them already because they’ve played Garry's mod before, but you must tell them that you need to teach them again, just to be sure they understand how to properly use them on this server.

/ooc - Inform the recruits that ooc stands for Out Of Character. This chat may only be used for Out of character messaging such as the news on the latest football game or how the weather is in real life. The only times the ooc will be use in a recreational use is when radioing is being done.
/looc - Inform them on what this stands for, Local Out of Character. Used in the Same way as ooc, but in a local state.
/pm - This stands for Private Message, This is used for Privately messaging someone. Example “/pm frankoo Hi, how are ya?”
/me - The me Chat command is very important in Military Rp because it allows us to do things that our characters are unable to. Of course there are many examples of that and it can be discussed for a while, but essentially what you need to tell them is this

“The /me is used for Roleplaying actions that your character ingame can't do such as Saluting, waving or any other action”

@ - This is use to contact an admin, of course tell them not to spam them with useless garbage.
(OPTIONAL) /w and /y - These both Amplify and quiet your General chat

Chapter 3:

Chapter 4:

Explanation of Role Play

This Chapter goes over the Role play that recruits should understand before entering into the community.

First you must go over the difference between War, Peace and Neutral.

War - During war the Base is on High alert. Enlisted Soldiers will be at posts, if you don't have a post find an NCO or MP to Post you
Neutral - During Neutral the Base is on Alert, you'll find there’ll be less attacks from Tali, but you will still be posted and stay there unless told otherwise.
Peace - During Peace, you will be enjoying the comfort of Passive Rp. During this time you should be training your Skills such as Stamina, Endurance, and your Weapon Proficiency. To raise your Stamina Run laps around the base. Endurance you will run and jump. To raise your proficiency of a weapon go to the Shooting Range, and with you silencer on fire at the targets.

2) Briefly talk about why we consider all of the Taliban until they are proven Taliban.

Here's an example of how you could do this:

“Out of character we all know who's taliban by just clicking tab, but in character you're completely oblivious. You know them as Civilian, you will call them civilians. The only time there Taliban is when they reveal that they are. Which we’ll go into more when i explain the ROE ”

Chapter 5:

ROE - Rules of Engagement

This is a collection of multiple ROE’s, into one compiled Segment.

The Self Defence Rule -

You may fire your weapon if you or your fellow soldiers are fired upon.

The Same Side Rule -

Never Shoot at another US Soldier

The Non-Aggression Rule -

When the F.O.B is not under immediate fire or threat, you weapon should be on safety.

The Precautions Rule -

When an armed Civilian is pointing their weapon at you or a fellow soldier, you must give them a chance to put their weapon away, failure to do so immediately results in their death.

The Murder Rule -

You are not to shoot an unarmed civilian. If there is a problem such as Minging the KOS line, you must first detain him. If you can not find an MP or someone else with handcuffs, you must give the civilian 10 seconds to stop what he/she was doing. If they Fail to do so after the 10 seconds, it will result in their death.

The Arrest Rule -

If an enemy has restraints inside the U.S. FOB without any sort of escort, you may tell them to stop, and if they do not comply, you may fire upon them.

The Spock Rule -

“The Needs of the Many Outweigh the Needs of the Few”.

If a civilian has an RPG, he is immediately marked as a Taliban and should be fired upon.

The Common Sense Rule -

If there is a civilian with his weapon on safety or otherwise not threatening US personnel, you may not fire at them until they are proven to be Taliban.

Chapter 6:

Ranks and Their Courtesies

You will need to Go over the Ranks and their given Courtesies, in this chapter all the ranks will be listed. There are a lot, so go over the names of the Enlisted, mention what you can do as a Specialist (Specialize in Pilot, Special Forces or Rangers etc.) Then the NCO ranks, and the beginning of the CO Ranks. With all these ranks in mind, remember to teach your recruits the proper Courtesies such as, Standing at attention and Saluting for a CO’s as well as calling them sir. Also mention that you do not Sir, or salute a NCO. You refer to a NCO by their rank.

Chapter 7:

Squad Formations

The squad formations, are formations you'll be making while in a event or an Op. Such as

Wedge:

Double Column:

[IMG] [IMG]

Square:

Chapter 8:

Advanced Faces

You'll need to teach the several different faces such as

Left Face - 90° left turn

Right Face - 90° right turn

About face - 180° turn from the right shoulder

Front Face - Look at the NCO or CO calling the command

Left Face, on the march - This is when you make a 90° left turn while on the march

Right Face, on the match - This is when you make a 90° right turn while on the march

About turn, on the march - Turning a single column around and continuing to march

Attention - When Attention is called, you will do /me Stands at attention

Chapter 9:

Base Tour

If you have the time to walk around the base with the recruits, then that's always the best but if you don't just take a few step outside the training warehouse. Point out the important buildings and explain what they're meant for. Such as

The Towers (Posts)- Mention this is where a lot of your time will be spent, inside the tower, not leaving it, and not standing outside on the stairs.

Formations Warehouse- Tell your recruits that the Formations can be called at anytime during RP, and if it is you will see im chat FORMATIONS, by either a admin, NCO or CO. When it is called go to the warehouse, and with your pistol on safety, make a double column line towards the stage.

Shoot Range- You level you proficiency up in the shooting range, with you weapon on safety, Shoot at the targets. As previously discussed.

Front Gate- This is a personal gate/Vehicle gate

Second Gate- This is a vehicle gate,usually requiring less defense because of its fenced gate

Vehicle Garage- The bases vehicles are stored here, unless you have permission from a NCO or C, you are not allowed in here

Medic Bay- This is where you can go to receive some extra health.

Chapter 10:

Weapons Training

Primary Weapons Training

Start by getting them to pull out the M1911, Teach them that the pistol can have a silencer by press C and then 1 to equipping it.
Teach them that pressing E+R at the same time will allow them to safety their weapon. With their pistols on safety, remind them that when in formations this is how you should look. With your pistol on safety.
Now get them to pull out there M4A1. Teach them the benefits of the different attachments and that their suppressor should almost alway be on.

C79- Great for long range, and you're most likely to use it in a post

CompM9 + Ecotech- These are best for close range, both equal in efficiency.

Finally tell them again, there gun should be on safety for the majority of the time, and only ready to fire in immediate danger or very suspicious activity.

Bring them through the breaching houses to simulate a real life scenario.
