Mission support operations have special terms that help in clarity and effective communication. Below are commonly used terms and their definitions:

  • IO (Intelligence Officer): The person responsible for overseeing the Mission Support Team (MST) during a mission. Normally, this is the Game Master or Mission Support Observer.
  • FL (Field Leader): The leader in charge of the overall deployment, managing player forces and coordinating with the MST for mission objectives.
  • SA (Server Administrator): Person responsible for server performance, troubleshooting, and guaranteeing smooth operation during deployments.
  • RP (Role-players or Role-play): People who increase immersion by role-playing characters, civilians, or other non-combatant roles within the mission environment.
  • RC (Remote Control): The practice of direct control over AI units, vehicles, and other elements in order to simulate realistic behaviour or to adjust mission dynamics.
  • MST (Mission Support Team): The general term for all members that take part in mission support, including Game Masters (GMs), Assistant Game Masters (AGMs), Mission Support Observers (MSO), role-players (RPs), and OPFOR role-players (OPFOR RP).
