Sorry for the newbie question...

So I'm a BR7 and I've been playing for awhile now...but I still don't know how to form my own squad. Can anyone inform me of how to make squads and outfits? It'd be a big help. Thanks.

16. Squads & Outfits
16.1. Squads
� Squads in PlanetSide are groups of up to 10 players working as a unit toward a common goal such as capturing a facility, defending a facility, or perhaps just doing general harassment to the enemy. Some of the benefits of being in a Squad are that not only do you have more firepower on your side and better communication but most importantly you have teammates who are specialized in their abilities and are thus able to perform critical tasks far more efficiently than a jack-of-all-trades player would.
� Additionally when one member of a Squad earns experience, other members nearby also earn the same amount. Note that they don't split the experience earned, if nearby they each earn their own amount.
� Squads are formed by opening up the chat bar and hitting Enter (default) then typing, /invite NAME, then hitting Enter once again. This will send an invitation to the player to join your squad if they aren't part of one already.
� Another method of inviting people into your squad is by approaching and targeting the player and then hitting your Action Key (G by default). Then follow the on screen prompt to send an invitation to them .
� Players can accept an invitation to join a squad by using the mouse and clicking on the pop-up window or by typing /yes.

�
Note that when you join or create a squad, you will see the members of it listed at the top. This list will show you the number assigned to the Squad Member in addition to their Health. The numbers assigned to the squad members will also be the same numbers seen on your Proximity map and your map screen. These are extremely useful for finding out where members of your squad are.
16.2. Outfits
� An Outfit in PlanetSide is a collection of players that exists even after the players have logged out of the game. Forming an Outfit requires the formation of a 10-player Squad where each player does not already belong to an Outfit. The Squad Leader clicks on the Outfit Button and everyone else is then presented with a dialog box asking them if they want to join the Outfit. If they all say yes, then the Outfit is formed and the Squad Leader, who is now also the Outfit leader may choose an Outfit Logo that will now appear on the armor and vehicles of members in the Outfit.
� Joining an Outfit is advantageous because it will make finding and forming Squads easier and additionally add organization to multi-Squad strikes against facilities or even against entire continents!
Recap
� Squads are temporary groups of up to 10 players.
� /invite <Name> will invite that player into your Squad.
� Using the Action Key while looking at a player is another method to invite them into your Squad.
� You can accept or decline an invitation to join a squad by clicking on the pop-up window or by entering /yes or /no in your chat bar.
� Outfits are akin to Clans or Guilds, groups of players that persist outside of the game.
� An Outfit can be created by the Squad Leader when he has 10 players in his Squad.
� To begin the Outfit creation process, the Squad Leader hits the Outfit button.
