FM/BG-244.V1.06 - Learner Slots
A learner slot is a unique ORBAT slot for legacy combat areas which allows an individual who has not yet been able to gain any combat experience in a combat area to do so. It allows individuals to get their first step on the ladder allowing them to access the up-tiering systems for a combat area. It does this by only allowing someone who has practice experience but no combat in experience in a specific combat area to slot without needing the usual Tier requirement.
Key points:
- One Learner slot is permitted per 20 slots on the ORBAT
- Learner slots can only be applied to Tier I roles
- Only someone who is Tier-0 in the area, can use the Learner Slot
- The Field Leader may choose to change any of the Tier I slots to a Learner slot at their discretion.
- To use 'L' Plate slots, you cannot have had Reprimands in the last 7 days, or any active PCFs in this Combat Area.
- If the learner slot is not claimed 24 hours after the release of an ORBAT, it will automatically become a normal slot
How to assign a Learner Slot:
- From the ORBAT editor, roles eligible for conversion will be shown with a blue cap icon.
- Should the slot not be claimed, the Field Leader can return here to convert the slot back to a regular slot.
Locating Learner Slots on ORBATs:
- Learner slots are easy to find on open ORBATs, denoted by their blue cap and blue deploy buttons.
- Once the slot has been claimed it is again denoted with it's blue cap.
