When arriving at the starting base, any marine
|
||
|
|
may choose to enter the command console, and plug
|
||
|
|
into the network. The Frontiersmen adhere to the
|
||
|
|
<i>Hirshelm Doctrine of Tactical Flexibility</i>,
|
||
|
|
which advocates that while a command structure
|
||
|
|
is necessary off the battlefield (to avoid the
|
||
|
|
endless debates of boardrooms and parliaments),
|
||
|
|
it is better for squads to evolve a hierarchy
|
||
|
|
organically – favoring those best suited
|
||
|
|
or prepared for each situation over pre-selected
|
||
|
|
officers. It is specially designed to allow rapid
|
||
|
|
training and deployment of troops – the standard
|
||
|
|
is 100 hours simulator training, and 100 hours
|
||
|
|
classroom time before being promoted to the field.
|
||
|
|
This also allows impromptu squads of all sizes
|
||
|
|
to form and head into combat with little preparation,
|
||
|
|
while decreasing the severity of losing an officer.
|
||
|
|
With the Frontiersmen, mobility and flexibility
|
||
|
|
is the order of the day.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>What this means is that, usually, the individual
|
||
|
|
with the best odds of leading the team to victory
|
||
|
|
in each situation will take control. To quote
|
||
|
|
Sergeant Haverhill, principle instructor at TSA
|
||
|
|
Headquarters, "A Frontiersman must not surrender
|
||
|
|
to ego, greed, or power-lust. Remember who the
|
||
|
|
bad guys are. The reason the TSA has been kickin'
|
||
|
|
ass for the last decade, is we don't having pissing
|
||
|
|
contests when lives are at stake. We get the job
|
||
|
|
done, with <i>extreme</i> effectiveness. <i>Then</i>
|
||
|
|
we kick back and brag." </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>If no one steps forward to fill the command role,
|
||
|
|
someone will usually volunteer for the sake of
|
||
|
|
the group. Those with the desire to learn <a href="front_commandstrats.html">command
|
||
|
|
tactics</a> can only do so much in training –
|
||
|
|
sooner or later they will have to just jump in
|
||
|
|
and begin gaining experience. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>What this also means is that you don't <i>have</i>
|
||
|
|
to listen to your commander. But the numbers from
|
||
|
|
the field tell the story: your odds of survival
|
||
|
|
on your own are minimal-to-none, and a team that
|
||
|
|
isn't working closely with a commander is, in
|
||
|
|
every recorded instance, doomed.</p>
