[Echo] Patrol/Raid Structure [Required for Patrol/Raid Participation]

G'day my good friends in ECHO Patrol.

I am aware that most of you have already undertook specific patrols and raids with a relatively high rate of success, so, for the few that haven't gotten to be apart of the fun, you have the green light after reading this thread.

How to Patrol/Raid

Patrolling and Raiding is a relatively simple concept, that consists of the following elements;

1.) Organization
2.) Maximum Area Coverage
3.) Alert System
4.) Fast Reaction Time
5.) Immediate Orders



1.) Organization

The organization of any patrol and raid is important, a patrol within ECHO is required to have two or more individuals, with one of the members of a minimum rank of Fire-Team Leader. A decent/recommended patrol consists of 5-6 people (A squad). When patrolling, it is wise for the lower ranks to spread out in an area while the higher ranks supervise from a rally point. A rally point is an area of which a raid can be accumulated, a patrol can fall back to, and/or lower ranks can report to higher ranks regarding findings. Raids should consist of at least 6 people, with a recommended 12 person-raid (but you are encouraged to have more participants). In raids, you are authorized to link with resources outside of ECHO Patrol (as you can with other patrol groups) to gain more personell for raids.

2.) Maximum Area Coverage

When patrolling it is essential to cover the most area as possible. You can do this by having small patrol-groups in separate rooms that are interconnected via teleports, in this situation it is wise to have at least 2 patrollers in each room, with the supervising ranks in the main room, or HUB so that the patrols can come back when necessary.

3.) Alert System

There is always a reason for patrols. Should any patrol member find something illegal/suspiciousworthy of investigation during a patrol, they are to contact their official supervisor (Squad Leader, etc...) and he/she will determine the course of action. It is EXTREMELY important to ensure that the supervisor is notified as soon as something interesting turns up, that way the patrol can take immediate action.

In ECHO, we have several tiers of alert/alert-readiness

Green - Within friendly territory, little/no reason to fear of any hostile activities.
Blue - Within unknown/unexplored territory, area secured, patrol/raid branching out.
Yellow - Within unknown/unexplored/neutral territory, area not-secured, patrol/raid organizing/branching out.
Red - Within hostile/unfriendly territory, area unsecured, hostile presence detected, patrol/raid organized and conducting operations.
Black - Within hostile territory, under attack, raid/patrol failure imminent, drastic action/retreat required.

Five alerts for five situations.

4.) Fast Reaction Time

In ECHO, time is of the essence.

We depend heavily upon the momentum granted by speed to inflict the maximum damage and the maximum area-exploration done as possible. When something turns up in a patrol, you are to immediately consult your supervisors for action. Because of the time-consumption of informing supervisors, below is a list of pre-typed commands for you to use when reporting or notifying ECHO personell.

5.) Immediate Orders

Lower to Higher Rank Commands:

<#> Hostile(s) Sighted at - Criminal/Hostile presence detected within a certain area, you use this to notify supervisors of an unfriendly presence within your patrol-area.

<#> Friendly Assets Inbound, ETA - Friendly/Allied forces are inbound to the patrol HUB, usually to assist in raids or patrolling larger areas. This command is used to notify any superiors.

Reinforcements Needed at due to - Self-Explanatory

Higher to Lower Rank Commands

Regroup! - Commands all local assets to converge on the supervisor's position, if patrol/raid assets are in different rooms than the supervisor, then the supervisor will order personell to notify them of the command.

Secure the Area - Commands all local assets to spread out across the room and to immediately notify supervisors of any unfriendly presence within the room.

Patrol! Branch Out! - Commands local assets to commence exploration (called after 'secure the area') Is used to command patrols to move off-room through teleports.

Patrol! Advance to (if off room, then )

Raid! Go to (and assault)

Raid! Cease Assault - Immediately halts the raid, but raiders do not regroup/fall back unless ordered to do so.

Patrol/Raid, Back to Base/ECHO HeadQuarters - Immediately commands all assets to return to either the EPF HQ or the ECHO HQ.

Regarding the ECHO HQ, the structure has been completed, you will be informed as to the location and operation of the HQ shortly.

THE TEST

To be 'approved' for raiding, you must reply to this post with the answers to the following questions, grammar, spelling count. If I see a copy+paste with no effort to change at least one letter, then you're definitely not approved. Once I will reply soonafter your test reply as to whether or not you were approved for raiding, once you are approved, go ahead and put together your patrols, good luck.

Test:

1.) What is your habbo username?
2.) What is your ECHO position?

3.) Name at least 3 of the 5 concepts regarding patrols/raids.
4.) What leads to a 'Blue' Alert?
5.) What does the command 'Regroup!' mean?
6.) What is the minimum number of patrollers for each room that does not have a supervisor in it?
7.) What does '<#> Hostile(s) Sighted at ' mean?

8.) In your own words, what does Echo Patrol mean to you?
