Skill Blocks and Tier Progression

---

The FM outlines our core skills, policies and guides to ensure every member stands ready for the mission ahead.

Skills required for Tier progression are linked to specific combat areas as outlined in the Force Manual. Each skill is assigned an entry Tier Level at which it first becomes applicable within a given combat area. As members ascend through the tiers, the proficiency required for these skills increases from their initial Tier of applicability. 

Importantly, a single skill may be relevant to several combat areas each with its own starting Tier Level. Consequently, the same skill could demand different proficiency levels at each tier, varying by the combat area in which it is applied.

• The maximum entry tier for a Skill Block is Tier V+

Where skills are required as part of the Tiering system the requirements are based on Skills which are assigned to the specific combat area within the Force Manual and crucially, from which Tier Level they apply from. The required proficiency level ascends for every subsequent tier from the level in which the skill is first required at.
