We all probably have a Infantry Division, Armor Battalion, Air-Force and such to cater to player interest because let's be real, some players prefer and play only that one aspect in the game. But we run into problems of logistics like keeping your specialty squads up to strength because of player interest.
Sometimes your tankers want to run around as Infantry, sometimes Infantry wan't to fly a Liberator, fluctuating interests, IRL situations, attendance in general leaves one specialty squad under strength and it hurts the Outfit during a ops so here is my question: What does everyone out there do to adapt and keep the specialty squads up to strength beyond simply just zerging and asking players who have no interest, no practice, and no skill in serving in a Specialty Squad they have no love for? I.E. "Everyone redeploy to the Tower and pull Tanks" (Obviously a command issue but a good example I'm sure many peeps can agree with)
The Outfit I serve has answered this problem with a "Indoctrination Thursday" event where ops time for that night is spent training the Outfit as a whole in the doctrines of whatever specialty squad is highlighted that night. By doing this we keep everyone in the Outfit aware of the specialty squads and what each one does, kind of a open house recruitment for that specialty squad.
"Indoctrination Thursday" has worked pretty well in keeping our specialty squads up to strength but I wonder if we can do better so the TLDR is What does your outfit do to keep it's specialty squads up to strength?
