General Orders Overview

The General Orders are a list of published directives, originated by the Regimental Commanding Officer, and binding upon all personnel of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, the purpose of which is to enforce a policy or procedure unique to his unit's situation which is not otherwise addressed in applicable service regulations, military law, or public law. A general order has the force of law; it is an offense punishable by court martial or lesser military court to disobey one. What makes it a general order (as opposed to a direct order), is that the actor is not explicitly named, nor precisely that (or whom) which is to be acted upon.

A general order of indefinite duration may be referred to as a standing order. Standing orders are necessarily general and vague since the exact circumstances for execution occur in the future under unknown conditions. For example, in most military agencies there is a standing order for enlisted men to salute officers. The officers are required by the same law to return the salute to the enlisted person; however, the name of each enlisted man is not explicitly named in the order, nor is the name of each officer, nor is the exact time which the salute should occur.

The following is a numbered list of all General Orders of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. These orders apply to all members of the regiment regardless of any rank or positions the member belongs to.

General Order One

Unethical Game Play (Cheating)

I will not engage in any form of cheating and will not tolerate those who do.

There will be absolutely no tolerance for hacking, glitching or exploiting of any kind. This includes running modifications to your client that are not approved by our S-4 Logistics staff section. Ex: Personal Arsenal

General Order Two

Official Game Servers

I will abide by all established in-game rules and regulations when on any official 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment server(s).

Official unit events, including trainings, qualifications, schools and operations take complete priority over unofficial side/unofficial events.

General Order Three

Uniform

I will wear my 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment clan tag provided by the ArmA III Units group and have my name correctly reflect unit rank abbreviations and name policy in all official settings provided by the unit. If I choose to wear unit tags in other game servers, TeamSpeaks or Discords I will follow all of those servers rules and code of conduct guidelines. I will abide by all uniform and equipment standard operating procedures in-game.

Example name: PV2 J. Woods

I will have all non-unit badges disabled on the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment TeamSpeak server.

General Order Four

Attendance

I will attend all required meetings, trainings, and any other scheduled official events or will inform, in advance, the appropriate person in my chain of command.

General Order Five

Administration

I will ensure that the regulations related to game servers, TeamSpeak and Discord are followed by all members and server guests, and will enforce them per the established administration guidelines (or will report the violator to the appropriate personnel in the event that action cannot be taken).

I will obtain a visual confirmation of a reported violation prior to taking action per the established administration guidelines (only exception is if verbally reported by a superior rank).

General Order Six

Discussion

I will refrain from engaging in public discussion or debate of political, religious or other similarly volatile subject matters in any 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment owned medium (game servers, forums, public TeamSpeak channels, Discord).

•    Private TeamSpeak channels are any channel with a named individual as the office owner.
•    Public TeamSpeak channels are all other channels not specified as an office.

Military Courtesy

I will observe military customs and courtesies during official settings.

General Order Eight

Multi-Clanning

I will not belong to another military simulation/realism unit on ArmA III while a member of the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment that breaks the policy found here.

General Order Nine

Chain of Command

I will utilize the correct chain of command for the appropriate ideas and complaints. If I have a complaint regarding the direct supervisor above me, only then will I go to the next level in the chain of command according to the policy here.

General Order Ten

Recording

I will not record (audio or video) any 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment owned medium (game servers, forums, public TeamSpeak channels, Discord) without first clearing it in writing with an Officer in a leadership billet. Recording/Streaming must be approved each instance, unless said person is a S-5 Civil Affairs Staff Section member and is acting within their role for media.

General Order Eleven

Parallel Infrastructure

I will not create parallel Discord, TeamSpeak or game servers to replace, or that exist separately from the official ones created and maintained by the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

Example: Separate Discords for squads are not authorized.
