[REDACTED] Army and Black Ops: Protocols and Callsigns

#1
Callsigns
A call sign is a designation assigned in the field instead of calling someone by rank or name. An example would be A-1 which commonly refers to the Leader of the squad or unit that is Commanding the operation whatever it may be.

Call-signs are designated in rank order (in tor terms it would be the ops order/group order going down) with the highest rank being A-1. Normally there would be more than one squad or unit meaning callsigns could vary. An example would be a second squad’s leader would be referred to as B-1 and so forth. Due to limited numbers, currently in the Horuset Regiment only one Platoon will be used when the task force is deployed meaning 1st will be our platoon, A(Alpha) or B(Bravo) this depends on which squad will be deployed first and who has the priority.  An example of a squad's call-sign would be:
  •   Major Koren = A-1
  •   Captain Igneel = A-2
  •   Lieutenant McCarthy = A-3
  •   Sergeant Srano = A-4
  •   Private Quinton = A-5
Anyone who is assisting over comms would be referred to as Actual.

Call-signs are useful because it gives a simple way to allocate units over comms, it also makes comms check a lot easier due to a call-sign only must be reported in. It also allows the one in command to give simple orders to large amounts of troops without the conflict of two people having the same rank or even name, meaning a call-sign cannot cause confusion between orders because each person has a different one.

A call-sign is unique to each operation and can vary depending on the ranks present and who is leading the operation. With the sudden rise of the Black Ops unit they are allowed their own call signs/Code-names, this will usually come down to a singular word that refers to their personality or job. However this will not replace the traditional use of call signs when Black Ops individuals work with regular infantrymen.

Protocol
As most would already know, the Sith are the forefront of the Empire and are considered superior. All Imperials should refer to any Sith above the rank of Apprentice as my lord or their title and a formal salute should be issued. Apprentices may be considered almost equal in terms of rank but respect is still needed to be given and a salute is still compulsory, if you're given a task by a Sith you must check with your active CO to see if it gets in the way of any active task you've already been assigned to.

As for Acolytes, under Imperial law Imperials completely outrank any Acolyte, however, keep in mind that Acolytes may progress to Sith so be aware that if you are horrible to an Acolyte, there may be consequences further down the line.
 
How to address superiors
A superior officer is referred to as Sir or their rank and a salute is compulsory when orders are being given and when addressing a superior off the field. On the field when an operation is taking place a salute is not required and if you're in a hostile environment/War-zone under no circumstance are you to say your superiors rank, name or call them 'Sir'.

Superiors off-duty should still be referred to as 'Sir' or their rank but shouldn’t be saluted. Relationships should be more casual when off the field but that respect is still needed.

ID checks
ID checks normally happen on Dromund Kaas to check if any illegal or unchecked citizens are on the Imperial capital against Imperial law. Under Imperial Law ID checks are perfectly legal and nobody except Sith are above them. All citizens of the Empire, alien or human are accustomed to these checks, regardless of Imperial rank or civilian Status.

Rules of Engagement
Standard rules of engagement apply on Dromund Kaas, No Imperial personnel should fire any shots unless the lives of the unit are at risk and hostilities are shown or the unit if fired upon, for any other planet this rule should not be followed unless it's another planet under total imperial control. The rules of engagement for any operation except patrolling will be stated before the operation begins or during the drop to the landing Zone.

Ongoing Crisis
War in the Northern Territories


The Balance of Power in the Northern Territories!

"The Northern Territories shift under the weight of changing times. With the passage of the ICOT, internal strife amongst Imperial Forces in the North has lessened - though never abated. Although the momentum of the Republic has not yet been met entirely, fortification efforts and victorious naval campaigns have evened the footing at least slightly. Eyes align on systems such as Vykos, Nam'ta and Orsus to see how this proceeds.."



((OOC: The Balance of Power system has begun! Missions that relate to grand changes in the Northern Territories will have an impact on the balance of power shown above, with the end result being that the balance of power's state at the start of the next war arc will determine how strong the Republic will be in the area. The balance of power can be pushing in our favour with bigger scale events aimed at taking the Republic down or fortifying ourselves in the North. This can be achieved through Operations, Adventures and Guild Events. The blue represents the Republic, and the Empire is red! This is organised by the Guild Team, so please direct OOC questions to them.))
