##General Practices

• Prioritize survival when possible, don't use equipment that makes you a more attractive target (AR, AT)
• Know your leaders' and subordinates' jobs so you can lead them well or take over if needed.
• Be clear and concise, brief but comprehensive.
• Decide quickly and act, small delays can make a situation worse, don't lose initiative. However,
• Exercise tactical patience. If necessary, let the situation develop before scrapping and changing everything.
• Task by name. Do not say things like: "someone needs to scout that", "Two people to go get AT"
• Do not micromanage, let leaders lead and stay flexible.
• Take initiative. Make decisions yourself when necessary, stay in alignment with commander's intent.

Ultimately responsible for overall mission success and fun-maximizing. ##Platoon Sergeant. Second-in-command of the platoon and advisor to the commander.

Platoon Sergeant is often attached to important elements or specialized teams to guide them directly per the commander's intent. This role is currently retired due to low player count.
