-To encourage cooperation, every squad is regulated by the number of weapons they are permitted to wield. It is to the EL's discretion to assign different weapons and kits to their squad members. Operatives need prior approval from their higher leader to change their kit.+To encourage cooperation, every squad is limited to the equipment they can wield. This is known as kit regulation. While you may customize your kit according to your billet, it is up to the EL to customize their element within the confines of the SOP. 
  
-^ Weapon ^ Maximum Amount Permitted ^ +Generally, the equipment available to a squad is defined by the host. The Platoon has to make due with the equipment made available. For example, G billets are available if they are created by the Host.

 ==== Billets ==== ==== Billets ====
 A billet represents a specific unit of the COC. This includes anyone from the R to the SL and to the Host. The roles available in the COC are decided by the roster posted by the Host. These rosters are FCFS and limited so the list of available billets can vary. Ultimately, the Host decides the available billets for their operation. After step-off, you are committed to the billet you volunteered. A billet represents a specific unit of the COC. This includes anyone from the R to the SL and to the Host.

- 
-There are two types of billets: generalist and specialist. Generalist billets make up the majority of a platoon and include Rifleman, Grenadier, Machine Gunner, and Anti-Vehicle Specialist. Generalists can switch their billet to other generalist billets under the discretion of the Host or EL. Specialist billets include Platoon Leader, Squad Leader, Radio Telephone Operator, Scout, Logistician, Medic, and Cavalry. Due to the high-skill required for their role, operatives volunteering for those specialist billets are not permitted to switch to other billets. You cannot volunteer as, say, a Medic billet then carry equipment permitted for a Grenadier. You would need to volunteer as a Grenadier (if it is available) or other generalist billet.

 +=== Squad Balance ===
 +Hosts and ELs are responsible for organizing a balanced squad. To balance a squad, make sure **there are no more than 2 of the same billets per infantry squad.** This balance does not apply to detachments. There may be any number of Riflemen in any squad.
 +
 +Every squad should have no more than 6 operatives including the leader. If there more than 6 operatives in a squad, the latest joining volunteers should be assigned to a smaller squad, attached to the platoon as a detachment, or asked to volunteer for a different billet.
 +
 +As with most policies in this SOH, there may be situations where squad balance is unfeasible. If you are unsure, ask your Host.

 ==== Types of Vehicles and How to Identify Them ==== ==== Types of Vehicles and How to Identify Them ====
 +Vehicle identification is useful for determining how to disable and/or destroy an enemy vehicle successfully. There are three levels to identifying a **military vehicle**. Those are as follows:
 +  * Class
 +  * Subclass
 +  * Specific model name
 +
 +For vehicles not related to military use, refer to them as their common names like:
 +  * Truck
 +  * Car
 +  * Bike
 +  * Etc.
 +
 +=== Light Vehicles ===
 +Light vehicles can be identified by spotting:
 +  * Wheels
 +  * Not armed with an autocannon or larger armament
 +  * Not an AFV
 +
 +Some subclasses of light vehicles include
 +  * Technicals: Civilian vehicles, often pickup trucks, adapted for military use
 +  * MRAP: Mine-resistant ambush-protected vehicles. Resistant to small arms fire and some explosives
 +  * Truck: military truck (such as logis)
 +
 +=== Armored Fighting Vehicles (AFV) ===
 +AFVs can be identified by spotting:
 +  * Wheels and/or tracks
 +  * Can be armed with nothing or up to a cannon
 +  * At least protected against small arms
 +
 +AFVs have several subclasses that make it easier to identify and thus fight them
 +  * Armored Personnel Carriers (APC) would be armed with up to a heavy machine gun
 +  * Infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) would be armed with up to an auto cannon and often times also ATGMs.
 +  * Assault guns are self-propelled anti-tank cannons.
 +  * ATGM carriers are self-propelled ATGM placements.
 +
 +Handheld anti-vehicle munitions and other vehicles in this class are likely to easily destroy all of these vehicles. 
 +
 +=== Tanks ===
 +Tanks are identifiable by the following. They are:
 +  * Tracked
 +  * Turreted
 +  * Capable of withstanding fire from small arms and autocannons
 +  * Having a large-calibre cannon intended for direct fire
 +
 +=== Identifying other types of potential targets ===
 +You may encounter other types of threats that would need to be identified.
 +== Anti-Air ==
 +Anti-air has two classes:
 +  * Anti-air artillery (AAA "Triple A")
 +  * Surface-to-air missiles (SAM)
 +
 +These can either be self-propelled or stationary and in the case of SAMs, they can even be carried by infantry.
 +
 +== Types of Helicopters ==
 +  * Utility Helicopter: armament intended for defending itself (ex. door gunner)
 +  * Attack Helicopter: armament intended for offensive use
 +
 +== Types of Planes ==
 +  * Cargo plane: Intended for transport of personnel or equipment
 +  * Attack plane: Low and slow-flying aircraft intended to attack ground targets
 +  * Fighter plane: High and fast-flying aircraft intended for fighting other aircraft

 ====== Logistics Skills ====== ====== Logistics Skills ======
 +As a Logistician/Engineer you will be responsible for following and knowing this Standard Operating
 +Procedure Manual (SOP Logistics main function is maintaining vehicles and equipment Engineers will
 +also have the responsibility of disarming and arming explosives and building barricades with given tools.)
 +===== Logi Policies =====
 +  * Refer to this document when you need clarification on how a tool or mechanic works or you can ask the Logistics Subject Matter Expert if you are still unsure.
 +  * Keep the Logistic/Repair Truck maintained and safe beyond any other vehicle unless you're in imminent danger and need to repair armored Vehicles.
 +  * Do not abuse your privileges with explosives by putting them on friendly Vehicles the only exception is right before the Operation is over if you detonate it before the classic "Mission Complete" screen is over there will be consequences.
 +  * Distribute ammunition when it is required by going to the Repair truck checking cargo and unloading ammo boxes.
 +  * While in convoys and the convoy stops for whatever reason Check the convoy for repairs and refueling if able. If you were not in combat then check for fuel.
 +
 +===== Equipment =====
 +Logisticians/Engineers will be given a large array of tools due to having many tasks and although it may
 +seem overwhelming at first, everything will be explained in this document.
 +  * Logistics Truck: In most cases, the logistics team will be given a logistics truck or a "Repair" truck. This truck will be able to refuel and repair vehicles and store equipment such as Wheels, AT Guns, and Ammo boxes ETC, it is your responsibility to maintain this vehicle above any other. if you're in imminent danger repair a BTR or Tank, ETC. The Logistics truck is your top priority to keep safe. In convoys the Logistics truck will usually be somewhere in the middle since the truck is a heavier vehicle it is recommended you keep a 3- 2 car distance away and keep your hands on the handbrake well figuratively. When the logistic truck is given in an operation several ammo boxes will be presented near it, it is your job to ensure the correct ammo is in each box. It is possible to "Rename" the boxes I highly suggest you do so before you move it into the cargo slot for organization purposes. for example, a box with mostly 5.56 ammo can be called Rifle Ammo Box while the MG ammo box can be called MG Ammo. You can be more specific if you wish. If there isn't a type of ammo inside one of the boxes go to the Host/Command and request another box. (the logistic truck has a ton of slots so don't worry about cargo space)
 +  * Repair Tooklit: To repair a vehicle you will need a toolkit in your backpack. When near the piece of equipment you wish to repair you will hold down the windows key and it will show options such as 'Engine',' Fuel Tank', and 'Hull' hover over this and release then you will start to repair. With the toolkit, it can only repair the yellow(50%). Around a repair truck you do the same action it will repair it fully. Full Repair is also an option with the fuel truck nearby although it takes time it will completely repair said Vehicle Hull, Engine, Wheels, and Fuel tank the only thing that the full repair does not do is refueling but the repair truck already has a refueling nozzle interaction.
 +  * Refueling a Vehicle: To refuel a vehicle you will have to go to the repair truck using your windows key it will show interaction then 'refuel' then 'take refuel nozzle' You will then click it on the Vehicle you wish to refuel. When done use your windows key to disconnect it then return it to the repair truck. The refuel nozzle does have a short hose to it and will stop at a certain distance so try to keep the said vehicle close.
 +  * Distribution: When the logistic truck is given in a mission several ammo boxes will be presented near it, it is your job to ensure the correct ammo is in each box. It is possible to "Rename" the boxes I highly suggest you do so before you move it into the cargo slot for organization purposes. for example, a box with mostly 5.56 ammo can be called Rifle Ammo Box while the MG ammo box can be called MG Ammo. You can be more specific if you wish. If there isn't a type of ammo inside one of the boxes go to the Host/Command and request another box.

 +===== Tools =====
 +  * Tooklit
 +  * Defusal Kit
 +  * Firing Device
 +  * Trapping Kit
 +  * Entrenching Tool
 +  * Wirecutter
 +  * Explosives
 +  * Fortify Tool
 +
 +===== Tool Descriptions =====
 +  * Toolkit- The Tool Kit is what causes you to gain all knowledge on repairing Vehicles with the windows key and near a Vehicle or Turret you will be able to maintain it to the yellow level. If you have a repair truck nearby you will be able to fully repair it.
 +  * Defusal- Kit Defusal kits well they defuse any explosives when near one you will be able to defuse that explosive with the windows key but don't get too close...
 +  * Firing Device/Detonator- a firing device is a trigger that allows you to detonate explosives from a distance, When you put your explosives down make sure to set them to your triggering device using the Windows key.
 +  * Trapkit-The trap kit detects explosives such as mines and IEDs at a close distance with a beeping noise the closer you are the faster it gets, it also can pinpoint them by pressing T on the explosives and a red triangle will go above the bomb showing you where it is.
 +  * Entrenching Tool- An Entrenching tool is a shovel that allows you to create dirt barriers with superhuman speed from gigantic barriers to those small enough for one MG the entrenching tool can be a lifesaver when there is no cover and a lot of dirt on the floor.
 +  * Wirecutter- a wirecutter cuts wires such as fences it is not required as said above but for those who don't have enhanced movement it can be useful in certain situations
 +  * Explosives- explosives are self-explanatory... Kaboom
 +  * Fortify Tools The Fortify tool is a tool that allows you to build barricades and watchtowers alike along with some heavy power such as AT guns and Mounted MG's the problem is it can take a long time to make.
