US Military Field Manual

This manual will serve as the guide to standard operating procedure of all US military forces. It will outline duties for everyone from generals down to individual soldiers. It will go in depth with specific tasks for positions, and will even give brief examples. Please read this manual fully, multiple times, and learn it by heart. This country’s success rests on everyone in the chain of command. A weak link and everyone fails at their mission!

Section 1
General information, structure, chain of command, and conduct standards.

Subsection A.
Code of Conduct

All US military enlisted and commissioned are expected to live up to the highest standards of personal accountability and presentability at all times. Military members do not only represent themselves, they also represent the United States as a country. As such all military members are expected to conduct themselves in a stately and honorable manner at all times when in view of the general public or when dealing with any type of foreign official, soldier, or citizen.

Subsection B.
Basic Military Structure

Military (NSC is CO)
|
Corps (General is CO)
|
Division (Colonel is CO)
|
Squad (Squad Leader is CO)

*Shown in descending order of size.
**CO. Stands for Commanding Officer.

Chain of Command

- General: In charge of everyone below him and is an advisor to the NSC. The general is in charge of watching over all the men in his Corps. This includes but is not limited to frequent contact with Colonels and squad leaders. The General is a check and balance to not only the NSC but also to the Colonels in his command. This position will require bi-weekly NSC meetings with the NSC Director and the generals of the other Corps in the US military.

- Colonel: In charge of everyone below him and is an advisor to his superior officer. (The General of the Corps) The Colonel is in charge of watching over the men under him. This includes but is not limited to frequent contact with Squad Leaders and random checks on individual soldiers in his command. The Colonel is a check and balance to not only the General but also to the squad leaders in his division. This position will require updating the division’s spreadsheet and dealing with questions and concerns of Squad Leaders and the General of said Corps. (78 men in his command. 6 squads of 12 soldiers)

- Squad Leader: In charge of his unit of soldiers. His direct superior officer will be the Colonel of the Division. This job will include but is not limited to building a relationship with his unit through frequent communication. The Squad Leader will field and handle questions or concerns from his unit and in the event said questions and comments need handling from a superior officer, the squad leader will then forward them up the chain of command to the colonel. (10 to 12 men in his command)

Subsection C.
Length of Service

Once enlisted in the US military, service length is unending. If a soldier or officer wishes to leave the military a written request of leave must be sent in duplicate to the NSC Director and to the General of the said soldiers Corps. (If a general wishes to leave he must notify only the NSC Director) Failure to request leave before moving to a foreign country, unless on official military or government business, or before going on extended leaves of absence, will be subject to a court martial hearing and subsequent black listing from the military.

Subsection D.
Payment and Funding of Troops


Pay will come four times per month. Distributions will be completed as per the below terms…

All funding will be donated through the SO “Quartermaster General of the US”. Said funds will be received into the Quartermaster General account by Saturday afternoon, and will be distributed from said account no latter than 11:59PM on Monday nights. Questions regarding late or missing pay should be made no earlier than 12:00PM on Tuesday afternoon.

Pay for military service will follow these rules…

Skill level 0-2.9 earns 10 USD per week
Skill level 3-4.99 earns 15 USD per week
Skill level 5 and above earns 20 USD per week.

In addition, rank will add to pay in the following ways…

Private: +1/ 1.5
Corporal: +2 / 3
Sergeant: +4 / 6
Lieutenant: +6 / 9
Captain: +10 / 15
Colonel: +14 / 21
General: +22 / 33
Field Marshal: +30 / 45

*The first number is peacetime. The second number is wartime.

Example 1. A soldier has a skill of 3.2 with a rank of Private. Their peacetime pay would be 16 USD per week. In wartime they would earn 16.5 USD per week

Example 2. A soldier has a skill of 6.42 and the rank of Captain. They would earn 30 USD per week in peacetime. In wartime they would earn 35 USD per week.

Subsection E.
Issuance of Orders and the MES System

The US military will use a Military Echo System or MES. This system will eliminate the low turnout to battle by ensuring the Colonel, General, and the NSC know exactly what the troop turnout will be for the battle. The system will work just like the chain of command except once the orders reach the individual soldiers, the orders will be echoed back up the chain to the NSC.
Once orders have been passed all the way down the chain of command, individual soldiers will then send an “order received” message back to the squad leader. The squad leader will then compile troop response from their unit and echo it to the Colonel of the division. The Colonel will then echo his division turn out to the General. The general will then echo total troop numbers from his division back to the NSC who will then decide if a reinforcement squad/division needs to be sent to a region.

Subsection F.
Foreign National Troops and Freelance Mercenary Work

No soldier shall be granted permission from the US Military for freelance mercenary work in any situation. This includes fighting for a foreign country for payment, or for free. The only fighting allowed by US Military law is that which is officially sanctioned by the US President and the US NSC Director.

The only exception to the above stated rule is when a Foreign National citizen is enlisted in the military and their home country is attacked in a war, which the United States is not involved in. Only in this situation is the foreign national citizen given a temporary leave of absence to defend their home country. Failure to notify their commanding officer before moving can and will result in court martial proceedings.

Subsection G.
Military Tribunal

A military tribunal will convene once per month. This tribunal will be made up of the NSC director, the Vice President of the US, and the general from each of the three branches of the US military. The president of the US, at his discretion, may also preside over the tribunal at which time the president’s vote counts as two, while the other tribunal members retain one vote each. The tribunal will handle matters of court martial and other military black list type offences.

Subsection H.
Dishonorable service and Court Martial.

Any soldier who refuses to fight, is insubordinate to a superior officer, does not follow official military orders, causes repeated problems with fellow soldiers, engages in conduct unbecoming a US military member, or goes AWOL while enlisted may be court martialed by a military tribunal. If a majority (3/5th in the case of a normal tribunal or 4/7th if a president presides over the hearing) vote is reached, the offending soldier will be court martialed and black listed by the US Military.
The NSC Director, any leading member of government, a Colonel or a squad leader with written proof, can bring up cases for court martial. An official who does not possess written proof (a chat log or screen shot) or a person who does not fit into the above categories may request a tribunal if more then 3 people witnessed the offence. In the case of witnesses, at least 3 of the witnesses must attend the tribunal to testify in person. Written testimony will only be accepted in cases of extreme hardship.
Black listed soldiers will be forbidden to have any type of official military service, will not receive any type of military or government pay, will be stripped of any and all military awards, and will be cut off from any type of military communication. The length of the ban is to never expire unless pardoned by a 2/3rd vote between the President, Vice President, and the NSC Director.
