Privates are only permitted to take up Platoon, Squad Leader or Assistant Squad Leader roles when the accompanying position is filled by a Private First Class or higher. This rank is not responsible for much outside of playing the game and adhering to Black Watch International’s policies. Once a member has graduated from their Recruit phase, they will assume the rank of Private. While a Recruit, a member is limited to basic Squad level roles. Low attendance may result in an extension of the probationary period. All recruits are on a probationary period until they have been active for a period of at least 1 month and demonstrated that they have learned some basic skills. For example, if Squad Leader is filled by a Private, Assistant Squad Leader must be filled by a Private First Class.Īll members are required to have their ranks in both their TeamSpeak and in-game profile names, in the following format: Your Name Recruit

In order to ensure quality of leadership during operations, in each Platoon or Squad element one of the leader or assistant roles must be filled by a member ranked Private First Class or higher.

Black Watch International’s ranks mostly serve as a out-of-game management tool for the organization of the group and do not influence the chain of command during ops. For example, a Squad Leader has authority over a Fireteam Leader, regardless of their ranks.
