Unit Structure

A command unit oversees and manages a specific collection of related staff groups (J-Groups), enabling its function while upholding unit standards. Each command unit is commanded by an Officer who reports to the Commanding Officer.

• Central Command (CC): Sets the overall strategy and direction of the unit.
• Personnel Command (PC): Manages all personnel-related matters.
• Operations Command (OC): Oversees all operational aspects including missions, campaigns, loadouts, mods, and servers.

Each command unit is responsible for overseeing its respective J-Groups and ensuring the execution of tasks and strategic direction as set by Central Command.

A J-Group represents a specific and focused area of effort managed by an NCOIC with support from multiple NCO positions. J-Groups enable unit-wide contributors to support their efforts through approved and assigned activities - therefore, although they contain Staff positions - technically any member of the unit can join J-Groups as contributors.
