TRAF -terran republic air force [EU]

CapitanSteel · 2012-06-27, 09:26 AM

Hello new recruits,
I've had the idea to create an Outfit. If you like the sound of my Outfit and if I get enough people intrested then I will work to have it set up for the release of Planetside 2.

OVER VIEW:
The TRAF is primarily an Air Vehicle Outfit (no suprises there) we will specialise in the use of the Mosquito, Liberator and Galaxy to achive air dominance and ground support. As well as dedicated pilots and crew the Outfit will also have the AIR REGIMENT which will consist of a mix of all unit types to fulfill a wide range of situations. Training will be given for everyone new to the game as well as old veterans of the first Planetside to ensure everyone can carry out thier role not just for themselves but for the team, this will also give everyone a good oppertunity to get to work with their team mates before flying into the thick of battle.

After the first initial training program (to be worked out) a training day will be run once a month to work on new tactics and counter new enemy strategies.

As a member of the TRAF you will be required to put in about 2 hours during the week and 4 hours during weekends. Once a month we will also host a large scale weekend opperation. If you have a reason to miss a week day or weekend because of life (we all have one - some are better than others) then notify your CO -commanding officer before hand.

COMMAND STRUCTURE:
As the Outfit grows more sections will be added and people will have the chance of promotion either through long time in service or recomendation from your CO's for various reasons. (Its not official yet but I would like to reward people with something more earthly like a piece of art work I designed or maybe even custom medals or something, something you can hold which is real - let me know what you think of that idea.)

Group Captian - Leads the outfit, organises main mission objectives for the Outfit as a whole, manages the team and monthly training and opperations.

Wing Commaders - Have command of thier own wings which could be anything up to 20-30 people. Thier main job is to achieve the missions set out by the Captian using whatever they have at thier disposal. They also manage the men and women under thier command.

Squadron Leader - Squadrons are made up of 1 Galaxy, 2 Liberators and 5 Mosqitos including the Air Regiment soldiers who are part of the Galaxy. Other Squadrons will be made up of 5 or more Mosqitos or a large group of purely ground units.

Flight Lieutenant - Second in command to the Squad Leader, if the squad leader is out of action the Flight Lieutenant will ensure the group completes its misson. Also in charge of keeping a personal check on his/her squad during down time to ensure everyone is able to play at the same speed.

Pilot/Gunner - Mans the air craft and the gun turrets. Does NOT bail out without good cause. Follows orders issued by the Squadron Leader and Flight Lieutenant. (In the heat of battle you will rarely get direct orders from the Wing commander or Captian but if you do you follow them )

AIR REGIMENT COMMAND:
All ranks in the Regiment are below Flight Lieutenant, this means that officers who reach the top of ARC - air regiment command, have the chance to go up to Lieutenant/Flight Lieutenant - Squad Leader and so on.

Flight Lieutenant/Lieutenant - In charge of co-ordinating the ground forces of each Squad to achieve thier mission once on the ground. Answers to the Flight Lieutenant and Squad Leader. Organises training spicific for ground tactics

Flight Sergeant/Sergeant - In charge of 6-12 men (the capacity of 1-2 Galaxies not including gunners-i think). Manages team both in and out of battle.

Corporal - Second in command from the Sergeant.

Soldier/Medic - The medic is a special case as they have the freedom to hang back from the fighting and focus only on reviving if they choose. However if they hang back too far we might have a problem with that :P

RECRUITING:
If you would like to join please have a look at our Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/195669740559810/
And our post on Planetside 2 forum http://www.planetside2forum.com/thre...blic-air-force
If you are intrested in joining send me a message on my profile page saying what role you would like to fill and hopefully I can set up the official recruitment page and those who messaged me will get first priority.

Feel free to add me as a friend and/or leave any comments you have.

TERRAN REPUBLIC - We will win the day while the others Die trying

Well? How's it going? Got enough people?
Your outfit seems interesting. Maybe our outfits could make some sort of covenant, and work together in certain operations, since my outfit (Mordor Republic) lacks the air support.

I'm thinking of starting a shock trooper squad of 10-20 infantry and was curious when the game comes out if we could co-ordinate drops from your airships. Or if there was room for paratroopers/shock troopers within TRAF.

Our Outfit is small but growing by the day

Im glad you like the look of our little group.

Does your Outfit operate in the EU? If you do then I would be glad to discuss the idea of supporting each other in the field.

Also if you happen to have more recruits than you need I would be happy to take some off your hands if you could point them in my direction

I have finally updated the command structure for the TRAF which details every soldiers role and shows our different squads.

TRAF 'command structure'
TRAF 'Your Role' Documents

Even if you dont decide to join let me know what you think as all feed back is useful

Letten · 2012-07-04, 09:15 AM

It's facebook, I don't have facebook, I can't see.

CapitanSteel · 2012-07-04, 10:06 AM

I'm sorry but it's the easiest place for me to put the group together.

It's free and not too much trouble to make an account there, thats the only advice I can give

CapitanSteel · 2012-07-05, 06:59 AM
