32nd Reaper Division
7/27/2015
4th edition
Enlisted
Enlisted members are ranked from L1, R1, to L2, R2. As an enlisted member, you have
no special privileges or powers in your status alone. You would need to gain a leadership
position or Battalion spot in order to gain any sort of powers. Or rank up into the
NonCom ranks or above.
Non-Commissioned Officer
NCOs are members ranked from L2, R3 to L3, R5. As an NCO, you are the auxiliary
support for the leadership structure. You are the middle-man between officially
designated leadership position holders, and the Enlisted membership. Your powers
include being able to take over as Fire Team Leader during the absence of a higher
ranking member. But perhaps most importantly, you will receive basic leadership training
and you will be among the first to be chosen for leadership roles when they become
available. If and when you become an official section leader, and/or a Commission
Officer, you will receive additional leadership training on different topics. The NonCom
status is one below the Commissioned Officer status as well.
Commissioned Officer
COs are members ranked from L4, R1 to L5, R4 AND/OR Company Commanders and
the Specialty Battalion Commander. As a CO, you have command, demotion, and
promotion powers over ALL NCOs and Enlisted. This means that if you are an NCO
leadership position like a Squad Leader, but you have a CO rank like L4, R1, then you
have command, demotion, and promotion powers over all NCOs below your rank in
addition to your Squad. A perfect example of this is AZ-REDBEAR since he is actually
my Co-Clan Leader, and is therefore higher than a CO, but hes also a Squad Leader. But
because he holds an L5, R5 rank he has command privileges over everyone.
Commissioned Officers are charged with the responsibility of giving assistance and
direction to the NCOs below them, and serving as support and guidance to any leadership
position that may need their assistance. More information can be found below in the
Section Leader articles.
Reaper Veteran
Reaper Veteran ranks are L5, R2, to L5, R4. They do not differ in regards to powers from
COs. However they have the different status title and therefore, the notoriety that goes
along with it.
These sitreps are very important for Commissioned Officers (COs) and Section Leaders
and it allows them to make more informed decisions regarding objectives and resources that need
to be relocated in order to help certain sections.
5. Does (member) show interest or initiative in learning about this ?/10 section or the clan in
general?
6. Does (member) show interest in leading others? ?/10
7. How well does (member) interact with other Reapers? ?/10
8. How is the quality of (member's) leadership(if SLs), or communication(if members)? ?/10
9. How good is (member's) knowledge of his section/position?
10. Has (member) shown improvement in his negative areas since last EPR? ?/10
Each member or section leader has the opportunity to earn 100 points total. Think of this
like a real life test in school. A's and B's get promotions. C's and D's stay at same rank. And F's
get demotions.
Here are the point equivalents:
80-100 points = promotion.
60-79 = no change.
0-59 = demotion.
I understand that this might be slightly confusing to some people. Have NO hesitation to contact
me with any questions you might have. I want this done right.
Primary Positions
Position: Squad Sub Leader. (Non-Commissioned Officer)
Responsibilities: You now hold the lowest leadership position in the entire Division. Your
job is to assist your Squad's Leader in running the Squad. This could include sending messages
to Squad members, helping to run practices and more. You're essentially the First Mate on a ship.
Therefor your responsibilities will vary depending on what your SL needs from you. This
position does NOT require EPRs to be done.
Powers/Limits: Your powers include just about anything the Squad Leader grants you.
For example, if he makes a mini ranking system within his Squad, he can grant you
promotion/demotion rights over the Squad's members. However you and your powers are limited
to your Squad only. He does not have power outside of his Squad and neither do you.
sure your Squad is as "healthy" as possible. You want a Squad with 6-12 active members at all
times. Your responsibilities will be to take part in the leadership thread discussions on Facebook,
as well as to submit "Sitreps" or Situation Reports on the health of your Squad, every Saturday. If
you are low on members, you are responsible for either Recruiting new members for the clan that
can then be placed into your Squad after they pass probation, or you can request the Recruiting
Battalion to recruit for you by going through the current Battalion Leader. This position is also
expected to conduct EPRs (info at top of document) on the 1st day of every month.
Powers/Limits: You have almost total control over your Squad. You can give your Squad
a name and motto, you can set practice and training times, you can challenge other Squads to
scrimmage yours. You can even recruit for your Squad as mentioned above. You can also assign
a Squad Sub-Leader to help you run your Squad. However your control is limited to your Squad
alone. If you wish to transfer a member from your Squad into another, you must first get
clearance from me and the other Squad Leader. If you wish to have another Squad's member, you
must go through the same process. You can create a ranking system within your Squad and
promote and demote your members as you see fit. But all of your actions must agree with
established, higher clan rules and regulations.
Powers/Limits: You can now promote or demote anyone in your Company. AND as a
Commissioned Officer, you can demote or promote anyone below your rank as well. You can
also request a particular member in your Company to be assigned as your Lieutenant to help you
run the Company. However you must run all promotions/demotions by me and you only have
power over your Company.
Other Positions
Position: Specialty Battalion Commander. (Commissioned Officer)
Responsibilities: You are in charge of all 5 of the Specialty Battalions. Your job is one of
the biggest, and most valuable positions in the Reaper Division. There is only one SBC in the
clan, and they are in charge of the mechanics that run the Reaper Division machine. You are
in charge of assigning Battalion Leaders, 1 for each Specialty Battalion. Youre in charge of
protecting the overall health and efficiency of all of the Battalions and their leaders. The SBC
will issue objectives to the BLs of each Battalion, you will also take relevant information
produced from the Battalions to other leaders who need the information as well. For example, if
the Recruiting Battalion processes a recruit into a full Reaper, you then take that Reapers name
and give it to the Company Commander that will be receiving that new member. This way, the
CC can place that recruit into one of his Squads. In summary, the Specialty Battalion
Commander ensures that the Battalions are healthy and efficient, and that the flow of information
around sections of the Division remains open and fast. 99% of this job takes place on Facebook.
SBCs who do a good job can expect to receive numerous promotions, fairly rapidly compared to
general-population Reapers. They are also generally very well known among the Reaper
population. This position is also expected to conduct EPRs (info at top of document) on the 1st
day of every month.
Powers/Limits: You may assign individual Battalion Leaders to run each Battalion. You
can autonomously issue objectives to each Battalion. You can issue demotions and promotions,
and the details therein. Additionally, as a Commissioned Officer, you can demote and promote
anyone below your level. You can decide how many objectives Battalion members need to
complete in order to receive a promotion. Your powers are fairly extensive, but are limited to the
5 Specialty Battalions and NCOs below your rank. That being said, the Battalions are a very
pivotal and large part of the 32nd Reaper Division clan.
Responsibilities: You are not located within the chain of command listed above. As the
Battalion Leader you are in charge of one of the Specialty Battalions, which are not located in
any Squads or Companies. They are groups of members tasked with specific jobs related to each
Battalion, and you are in charge of issuing those tasks or objectives. You are sort of like a Squad
Leader leading his Squad members. You are the Battalion Leader leading one of the 5 Battalions.
You will receive objectives from the Specialty Battalion Commander, and you will be in charge
of making sure those objectives get completed. You need to make sure your Battalions have
about 4-8 members in each and that each Battalion is active. This position is also expected to
conduct EPRs (info at top of document) on the 1st day of every month.
Powers/Limits: Your powers depend on what your Specialty Battalion Commander
allows you to have. Your task is to keep your individual Battalion healthy, strong, and active. So
whatever you need to do in order to make that happen is within your grasp.
wars, and if you believe it to be necessary, you may request a member to be demoted by
submitting a complaint to me. Because of your position, the request will likely be put through.
Sections
Battalion: Recruiting.
Responsibilities: Your job as a Recruiter is a very important one. There's also quite a lot
to your job. If you're looking to be an integral cog in the Division's work machine, this is
definitely one of them. I'll break down the order of operations on your main task, recruiting.
1. You are to scout randoms for talent.
2. Upon seeing a potential recruit, you should message them with some information regarding
the clan to see if they are interested in joining. (If potential turns out negative, consider directing
them to our brother clan The Reapers Army)
10
3. Once interest is established, you begin preliminary screening. You ask the basic questions:
Age, Timezone, Mic, Amount Played per week, then do a stats check. If they answer positively
and their stats look close to, or above our minimums, direct them toward our website.
4. Explain to them that they must register at our website and read our Rules and Reqs page,
specifically about Recruit Requirements and objectives. Once done, confirm that they have
registered.
5. After registration, direct them to our Facebook group page and have them join and introduce
themselves as a new Recruit along with his exact PSN name.
6. Make sure he understands when his two weeks begin and what to do during them. You are to
then help them pass their two weeks while testing them with additional objectives given at your
discretion. The main objectives to worry about are listed on the website. Your side objectives or
challenges are merely a means to gather more information about what type of player they are.
7. Once he finishes his two week mark, report this to your Battalion Leader and me. Include all
your opinions on the recruit and any additional info on if he should pass or not, and what level
you believe he deserves if he passes.
You are much like a real military recruiter and a teacher wrapped into one. You are an ally to the
Recruits, and therefore should teach them as much as you can in order to ensure the best new
members for the Division possible. You should also do this because if you consistently bring in
bad recruits, bad things may happen for you. You will receive the same thing that you bring in
basically. It's in your best interest to bring in the best recruits possible and to help them pass
probation.
Powers/Limits: You may pass judgement on potential Recruits. If you deem them suitable
Recruits, send them to our website to register. However, keep in mind that you are only our first
line of filtering. Our 2 week probation is the main filter. So even if you are not sure, trust the
probation to weed out the bad ones.
Positions: There are only two main positions here. "Recruiter" and "Battalion Leader".
There is 1 Battalion Leader per Battalion, so 6 total. And they all report into the Specialty
Battalion Commander, who is the head of all of them.
Battalion: Police.
Responsibilities: You have some autonomy here. You are largely free, and even expected
to work alone and constantly in this Battalion. Your standing task is to make sure rules are being
followed. What that means can vary widely. For example if you catch a fellow Reaper glitching,
talking shit to another member, or breaking other rules, it's your job to report them. If you are in
a message box that is going off topic, it is your job to keep it on topic by reminding the
occupants. If a member has been officially AWOL (2 weeks with zero activity on Facebook and
PSN) then you should begin tracking him down by messaging him and asking where he is. You
should also ask around and see if any other members have seen him. If he does not reply and you
11
don't find any info from other members 48 hours after sending him that message, report all your
findings to your Battalion Leader and me. You can also work as Moderators on the website as
well as other higher positions in our other group pages. Lastly, you will also interview recruits
during their probation about their experience thus-far, whether they have heard from their
assigned Recruiter or not, and if they have any questions at that time.
You will also be given specific tasks from time to time from your Battalion Leader or me.
Powers/Limits: You will have more weight in terms of suggesting demotions than
standard members. You also have the official power and duty to keep others in check. It's your
primary job to ensure that all Reapers are maintaining our Reaper name and the respect that goes
with it. This is especially important with interacting with outside gamers.
Positions: Same as the Recruiters, there are only two. "Officer" and "Battalion Leader".
Battalion: Training.
Responsibilities: Your jobs mainly include helping run training sessions or to run a
session alone or with a fellow trainer. Your job is also to be highly knowledgeable on our ingame tactics and communications. Because of this, Trainers are typically more experienced
members that have been around for a while. This means that recruiting for this Battalion will be
more difficult than the others. The Field Bible is your friend. Between training sessions you are
encouraged to help create new tactics and entries for the Field Bible. You're equal parts Trainer
and "Tester of new ideas". Feel free to pitch new formations and tactics for us to try in game.
Powers/Limits: Trainers/Instructors have demotion abilities within their hosting session,
and can demote attending members whom they deem to be disrespectful, disruptive, etc.
Positions: There are actually 4 current positions in this Battalion, and it may be more
accurate to call them sections or levels. For example Level 1 Trainers take the easiest sessions.
The RvR scrims, fun game nights like Gun Game matches, etc. Level 2 Trainers take Basic
Reaper Training sessions and train new recruits and members. Level 3 Trainers train more
experienced members on our more advanced tactics and communication. Buddy Team training,
stuff like that. And the 4th position is the Battalion Leader.
Battalion: Media.
Responsibilities: Much like the Police, you are fairly autonomous. Your job is constantly
happening. Your task is to collect gaming news, articles, videos and more. Anything that can help
our members learn more about the games they may be interested in. Special attention should be
paid to games that we play often and information that can offer a tactical advantage to our clan
members within those games. Early information on things like new map packs for COD can
allow us to begin working on formations to use on those maps and so on. Your job is really rather
easy. When you find a link to a story or article, post it in the Media's Facebook message box and
12
to the Division's group page feed for everyone else to see. High ranking members of the Media
Bat will then take those links and post them on our Facebook fan page and Twitter.
Positions: The positions here aren't exactly official yet, and this Battalion is typically
small. But we have a guy who handles the Reaper's Facebook news page and others who handle
our social media accounts.
Update: 12/14/2015 4:47 PM.
The Media Battalion has received two further sub-sections.
The Public Relations Section, which is about 1-3 members in size, and is in charge of updating
our social media accounts. I.e. Facebook news feed, Instagram, Twitter, etc. PR guys will also be
in charge of interacting with anyone contacting us. Answering messages and tweets, and so on.
The Video Ops Section is about 1-5 members in size, and is in charge of creating, managing,
posting, and sharing the news regarding new YouTube videos and Twitch channel streams. There
will be a section manager for this section who is in charge of organizing streaming schedules for
Twitch, and organizing our Twitch channel contributors.
Battalion: Logistics.
Responsibilities: To challenge other clans to friendly scrimmages with us for practice.
Your number one priority is to remain respectable and nice. You are representing the rest of the
Division when reaching out to other clans and their leaders. Proper grammar and a friendly
demeanor are required. Your responsibilities are fairly similar to a Recruiter's but for clan
scrimmages. Here is your order of operations:
1. Find a player with a clan tag and message him asking if his clan would be interested in a
friendly scrim for practice. Preferably find his clan leader and speak with him directly.
2. Work out match details such as time, modes, number of players, maps, rules, etc.
3. Notify your Battalion Leader and me about your contact with this clan and continue to work
out a match that is as close to our preferred set up as possible.
4. I will give a go ahead or a no go on the match, you will then deliver the message.
That's the extent of your involvement. I will then assign an RSO Team to handle the clan scrim.
Powers/Limits: You are free to broker a deal with the other clan and ours for this
scrimmage. But you are to work to get the match as close to our preferred settings as possible. If
the other clan simply won't budge on this, you are free to terminate the deal yourself and work on
a new one.
Positions: This Battalion again only has two. "Member" and "Battalion Leader".
