FPArma Platoon Structure
The FPArma Platoon is a new standardized composition whose primary purpose is to instill a permanent albeit flexible structure to our Sunday missions. It's been designed to provide utmost efficiency and coordination of movement, fire support, and enemy suppression and disposal in infantry warfare with the least required amount of troops, while also retaining a degree of flexibility and discretion which the Mission Maker can utilize to add his own particular spin on the template. It's highly recommended that, for that reason explicitly, people download and familiarize themselves with the new FP Template available on the GitHub. The template itself does not have to be used. It's only essential that Sunday missions adhere to the new Platoon structure as much as possible.
With the new roster implemented, a degree of minimal requirements is now needed for your new missions. This is done to enforce the new Platoon Structure as well as we can possibly do it.
The minimal requirements are as follows:
- At least two 8-man maximum Rifle Squads roughly adhering to the roster.
- A Single 8-man Weapons Squad.
- A Platoon team with a Leader, a Second-in-Command, and context-sensitive support troops.
- Everyone outfitted with a 343 PR Radio.
- Every Squad and Team Leader outfitted with at least a 148 UHF Radio, and Platoon and Wildcard Support using the 117 Backpack Radio for long distance special communication.
