Nrom Normandy Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 NCOs, make sure you are aware of three key threads in regards to what you're doing on base every day:/>http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/7132-responsibilities-of-the-oic-and-sog/Trevor wrote this great article about how to be an OIC and SoG while on Titan. If you have not read through this already, consider this an order to do so. This contains a great deal of information regarding daily procedures and what's expected of you when you take these positions. Get into the habit of taking OIC when you can, making sure it is properly passed off, and assigning an SoG to help ease tension and concentrate on specific matters./>http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/10327-ordo-policy-tiers-of-authority-enforcement-and-chain-of-command-17nov10/It is important that you understand what the tiers of authority are, what enforcement is and your involvement in it, and what the chain of command is. In particular, I want to note the role of the NCO as being a limited jurisdiction police/security forces. Depending on where you sit in the chain of command, you do have some disciplinary power in regard to personnel directly under your command. When you see violations of handbook procedures and protocol, it is your OBLIGATION to report these violations. When they are seen and not reported and dealt with, resentment builds. Resentment leads to discouraged soldiers who end up looking somewhere else for their entertainment. If you wish for people to be held accountable for failing to abide by our policies and procedures, read through this policy and understand that it is your responsibility to report it so that they will be./>http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/11435-universal-responsibility/This had to be brought up specifically by the Imperator because the above two threads were never read, forgotten, or ignored. Let this be an official call out to all of you NCOs. Rank is not something you are given simply because you've been here a long time. You have obligations and duties to perform daily, which includes making sure everyone around you is doing what they're supposed to. If they aren't, know that even if they outrank you it should be discussed either privately, or if you're uncomfortable doing so, through your chain of command.In addition to the above, I wish to point everyone to updated policies regarding Astra:/>http://forums.ordoimperialis.com/index.php?/topic/11437-ordo-policy-division-astra-20feb11/In addition to officer authorization permitted for New Jessie with vehicles, there has been some clarification regarding Rules of Engagement abroad and at home. I am also noting that while the OIC is in charge of Titan's defense, when hostiles take to the air all Astra are obligated to head up until the threat is grounded and at that point they will maintain a +1 advantage in numbers at that point. From that point the OIC may deliver orders in regards to specific munitions requested.I also wish to remind all NCOs of Astra's Anti-Armor purpose. While I understand that tanks don't get used that often, I wish to remind you that the Thanatos is more than able to assist in covering multiple portions of Titan from tanks and you can restrict their munitions from being used against any ground personnel. In addition to that, it may be advantageous to you to do so if the hostile force has any type of air assets since it would provoke them to launch into the air and relieve you of more than one attacker when they do.
