All members of the 1775th are assigned to a position in the squad. Each position is different and each position is equally important to the function and success of the squad. This section of the Leadership Guide will walk you through each position and a general description of the role of each position.

CO, XO, XXO and Officers
These positions are responsible for the day to day and the overall operation of the squad. These duties include taking OIC and leading the squad in game as well as several operational duties such as administration that needs to be accomplished in order for the squad to continue running. For every hour in game each position listed here spends another four or more hours out of game working on items for the squad and the members. These positions are full time positions.

Kompanie CO and XO
These positions each have three Zugs reporting to them. The focus of these positions is to assist and oversee the operation of those three Zugs. The Kompanies are assigned Zugs based on time zone. Alpha takes the majority of the US players and Bravo takes the majority of the Euro Players. The Kompanie Officers are responsible for all members in their Kompanie as well as the day to day operations of the Kompanie. The Kompanie Officers are also tasked with promoting Zug Leaders and helping the Zug Leaders complete their tasks.

Zug Leaders
The Zug Leaders are responsible for their entire Zug and all members that are assigned. Zugs leaders are to make sure that the Gruppe Leaders have everything that they need to accomplish their jobs and to support Gruppe Leaders in any way possible to ensure the proper operation of the Gruppe. Zug Leaders are responsible for the promotion and removal of Gruppe Leaders. Zug leaders report directly to their respective Kompanie Officers.

Gruppe Leaders
The Gruppe Leader is responsible for members that are assigned to them. The Gruppe Leader is to make sure that the roster is correct and the most updated information is supplied to the Zug Leader as far as troop maintenance. The Gruppe Leader is also responsible for helping all the troops assigned to them in any way possible. This would include: transferring members to a Gruppe that fits the member’s time zone better, training members and helping the members with any issue that may come up. The Gruppe Leader will also assist the Zug Leader in any way that is needed for the squad to continue to be a success.

All Leaders
Again all leaders should have the same basic abilities. You must be in the position to help the squad and it members in the first place. That is the number one rule for leadership in the 1775th. You must be able to take OIC at times when an OIC is needed. Taking the OIC position is nothing to be nervous about. All that is needed is someone who can read the map and direct the troops to a position where we are needed. Clear and continuous communication is required at all times from all leaders. The leaders will always be accountable for their troops and for the duties that they are expected to complete. The duties that are assigned are only to ensure that the members are provided with an organized group of players that can accomplish objectives and provide a place for the member to enjoy while they are online.
Leadership in the 1775th takes work, but for the people that are in it for the members it is truly rewarding. Before accepting a leadership position in this squad, please ask yourself if you are doing this for you or for the members. If you answer is not for the members and you are not willing to do anything in your grasp to help the players and the squad by providing them the best you can offer them, then please do not accept the leadership position. Remember the 1775th is about providing the best environment possible for the players. Players are always first.
