'''Alpha Company''', 2nd Battalion is a Composite Combat Arms and Combat Support Company tasked with Infantry and Combat Engineer operations. It is administratively known as A/2-7. The Company has two Platoons.

=Mission=
At Alpha Company, our vision is to create and be a part of a thriving gaming community built on the foundation of camaraderie, leadership, and the shared passion of Hell Let Loose. We aspire to be a beacon of growth and retention, empowering our members to develop their skills and emerge as exemplary leaders developing skills in both virtual and real-life environments. Central to our vision is the cultivation of effective communication, leadership principles and fun. By honing these essential skills, our members can excel not only within our mil-sim gaming context but also in their personal and professional lives. Beyond being just a gaming community, Alpha Company strives to create a brotherhood that extends far beyond the virtual battlefield. We are committed to fostering strong bonds among our members, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and where nobody is left behind. The cornerstones of Alpha Company's success are engagement and quality section practices. We maintain an active and dynamic community, where every is respected, every member's voice is heard, and their contributions are acknowledged and rewarded. Through collaboration and cooperation, we continuously improve the gaming experience for our members. Lastly, high attendance and active participation are crucial for building a strong and dedicated community. Alpha Company values commitment and recognizes the importance of every member's presence in shaping our collective success.

=Role=
Alpha Company is tasked to provide a composite, combined arms force to the 2nd Battalion. The Company operates in the Hell Let Loose area of responsibility. The Company combines several disparate specialties to create a Company-Team in operations that is capable of providing effective self-supported direct fire and direct fire support, as well as conducting mobility and counter-mobility tasks. Because of the company's area of responsibility, it primarily trains to fight against a near peer adversary in a conventional conflict.

*Respond to Helpdesk tickets. (Given access upon taking NCOIC S1 Uniforms Staff Lead position.)
*Perform the duties of the AO Lead if necessary.

=Gimp=
Gimp is a free photo editing and manipulation software. This is critical to creating and modifying a uniform.
==Startup==
Open the .XCF file of the uniform you want to update. In default configuration, GIMP should look like this. The following is an example of the S1 Uniform Template used for all new recruits.
[[File:S1Uniforms1.png|border|600px]]

On the left you will see the Toolbox panel and on the right the Layers panel. If you do not see these panels, navigate via:
Windows - Toolbox or
Windows - Dockable Dialogues - Layers.

There are three tools you will commonly use. These are the Move, Zoom and Text tools.

===The MOVE Tool===
The Move tool [IMG] (or press M) can be used in two ways. The options are 'Pick a layer or guide' and 'Move the active layer'.

'Move the active layer' is the default option. In order to move an object, you must first select the layer, or parent folder, press 'M' and then click within the object boundary box to drag the layer to a new position. Using this method on a layer group (i.e. a group containing multiple layers within it) the all those layers will move together.

This method MUST be used when moving Medal or Ribbon groups to ensure all attachments are moved with them.

'Pick a layer or guide' may be used to move objects which have no children (e.g. CIB badges or Aviator badges, etc.). This method can be faster since the user need only click on the object and then drag it to a new position. However, this method must NOT be used with medals or ribbons.

===The ZOOM Tool===
The Zoom tool [IMG] (or press Z) is straightforward. Press Z, then left-click your mouse (LMOUSE) and drag out an area of interest. To adjust zoom, click LMOUSE or left CTRL (LCTRL) to adjust the zoom in or out.

===The TEXT Tool===
The Text tool [IMG] (or press T) will only be used to create the trooper's surname on the uniform nameplate.

===The LAYERS Dialogue Box===
The layers box contains all elements in the uniform - ribbons, medals, ranks, badges, etc. They are all organized in folders. The majority of folders will contain subordinate folders and layers.

In order to get one of the objects (or group of objects) from the layers panel to appear on the uniform, click the box to the far left of the layer. An eye should appear where you clicked and that image should now be in the uniform. Hiding an object works the same way.

[[File:S1Uniforms2.png|border|318px]]

All of the above groups expand to reveal sub-groups or layers. Next to every folder is a small “+” icon on the left side. If you click it, the folder will open, showing its contents. Some folders have subfolders for further organization. To collapse a folder, there will be a “-“ icon in the same spot the “+” once was.

The following example shows the construct of part of the CHEST RIGHT SIDE layer.

[[File:S1Uniforms3.png|border|400px]]

===The Nameplate===
The nameplate comes in two length, Standard and Long. Only if the name is too long to be fully visible on the long nameplate, the size can be altered at your discretion.

[[File:S1Uniforms4.png|border|400px]]
Everyone's name plate should use the same font and font size:
Font: Arial Narrow Condensed Bold
Size: 18

If, even using the elongated nameplate, the trooper's name will not fit, then it is at the discretion of the clerk to reduce the point size of the font until the name fits.

The dimensions of the nameplates must not be altered.

==Medals and Ribbons==
Medals and Ribbons are awarded for a variety of different reasons (Promotions, Combat, Meritorious Service, Class Completions, etc.). There is a specific order that ribbons and medals must be in when being added to a troopers uniform. The correct order of Medals/Ribbons is as follows for most prestigious (top) to least prestigious (bottom). The following chart also shows the attachment(s) that should be used for each award.

[[File:S1Uniforms5.png|border|500px]]

Any cell highlighted in RED means that there is more information in the "Attachments" section below.
Each medal and ribbon that is awarded to a trooper must be placed on their uniform with respect to the list above.

===Ribbons===
Ribbons are placed on the Chest (right) of a troopers uniform. The most prestigious ribbon will always be at the top left, and the least prestigious will always be at the bottom right. This needs to be done while still keeping all the ribbons centered in line with the button on the right pocket of the uniform.

[[File:S1Uniforms6.png|border|400px]]

There must be a 1 pixel gap between ribbons on all four sides. This is easy to do if you use the Zoom tool and select an area around the ribbon stack.
The ribbon arrangement should remain as 3 columns until the trooper is awarded his/her 12th ribbon. At that time, the arrangement will change to 4 columns and it will no longer be centered in line with the pocket button. Instead, it will be aligned to the right. The 1st and 2nd rows will have 4 ribbons, 3rd, 4th, and 5th rows will contain 3 ribbons, the 6th and 7th rows will contain 2 ribbons, etc.

[[File:S1Uniforms7.png|border|400px]]

===Medals===
Similar to ribbons, medals are also placed in a specific order. Medals are placed on the pinboard at the bottom of the uniform, least prestigious on the left, most prestigious on the right. As a trooper gains more medals, they will eventually no longer be able to fit on the pinboard and the pattern will be continued on a second row above the first. Each medal on the second row will placed between the 2 medals underneath it.

[[File:ZJBSP2a.png|border|500px]]

When adding Medals to a uniform, make sure that the first row of medals at the bottom are lined up with the top of the pinboard. This maintains a cleaner look.

[[File:S1Uniforms8.png|border|400px]]

===Attachments===
Attachments for medals and ribbons are necessary when a trooper receives multiple of the same medal or ribbon. If you need to add an attachment or device to a medal, open the medal group and enable visibility on the relevant attachment. All medals only have attachments specific to them whether they be leaves, stars, knots, numerals or the valor device.

In the example shown below, a trooper has earned a third bronze knot to their GCM. Open the layer group, enable visibility on the 3rd knot and doable visibility on any other attachments.

[[File:S1Uniforms9.png|border|400px]]

====Leaves====
Leaves
Adding leaf clusters to ribbons and medals is simple and follows the same method as medals (see above). A trooper will receive 1 bronze leaf cluster for every duplicate ribbon/medal (if it uses leaf clusters) after the 1st. For example, the second MSM a trooper receives will warrant 1 bronze leaf, the 3rd award will warrant 2 bronze leaves, etc. A silver leaf is equivalent to 5 bronze leaves (6th award). A gold leaf is equivalent to 10 bronze or 2 silver leaves (11th award).

Some examples:

*1st Award = No Attachments
*2nd Award = 1 Bronze Leaf
*5th Award = 4 Bronze Leaves
*6th Award = 1 Silver Leaf
*7th Award = 1 Silver Leaf and 1 Bronze Leaf
*10th Award = 1 Silver Leaf and 4 Bronze Leaves
*11th Award = 1 Gold Leaf
The Basic Assault Course ribbon is awarded for the completion of the Basic Infantry Combat Training course for HLL and the Basic Assault Movement Course for Squad. If a trooper is earns the ribbon for both courses the ribbon a single leaf is attached to the ribbon.

====Stars====
The star attachments for ribbons and medals work exactly the same as leaf attachments. 1 Silver equals 5 Bronze. 1 Gold equals 2 Silver or 10 Bronze.

Exceptions to the above rule:

# The Cavalry Centurion and Server Upgrade medals. The Server Upgrade medal will receive a silver star attachment for a donation of $50 and a gold star attachment for a donation of $100. The Cavalry Centurion medal will receive one silver star attachment for every subsequent award.
# Donation & Recruitment ribbons. These ribbons use star devices and are awarded in the following order:

:::*1st Award - Ribbon - [Donation Ribbon or Recruitment Ribbon]
:::*2nd Award - 1 Bronze Star
:::*3rd Award - 2 Bronze Stars
:::*4th Award - 3 Bronze Stars
:::*5th Award - 4 Bronze Stars
:::*6th Award - 1 Silver Star
:::*10th Award - 2 Silver Stars
:::*15th Award - 3 Silver Stars
:::*20th Award - 4 Silver Stars
:::*25th Award - 1 Gold Star
:::*50th Award - 2 Gold Stars
:::*75th Award - 3 Gold Stars
:::*100th Award - 4 Gold Stars [Maximum award]

Any medal or ribbon that earns star attachments is capped at a gold star (the 11th award) with the exception of donation and recruitment ribbons as stated above. Once a gold star is earned, the trooper can't get any more on that medal or ribbon.

====Valor Device====

The valor device is only given for a couple of awards, most notably for the Army Commendation Medal/Ribbon, and the Bronze Star Medal/Ribbon.

Valor attachments aren't given out like leaves or stars. When a trooper receives an Army Commendation or a Bronze Star medal, they will sometimes include a "w/ Valor" along with them. This is added for events that occurred in combat. The valor attachment does not replace the leaves. A trooper can only receive 1 valor attachment per type of award.

If only one award has been made of a medal, the Valor device is centered on the ribbon. If the trooper has already won the award the Valor attachment is positioned to left side of the ribbon/medal and leaves are aligned to the right side of the medal/ribbon.

[[File:S1Uniforms10.png|border|272px]]

====Knots====
Knot attachments are only used for the Good Conduct and Stack-Up Donation medals.

Good Conduct Medal:

*1st GCM = No Attachment
*2nd GCM = 1st Bronze Knot
*3rd GCM = 2nd Bronze Knot
*4th GCM = 3rd Bronze Knot
*5th GCM = 1st Silver Knot
*6th GCM = 2nd Silver Knot
*7th GCM = 3rd Silver Knot
*8th GCM = 1st Gold Knot
*9th GCM = 2nd Gold Knot
*10th GCM = 3rd Gold Knot

Stack Up Medal:
The attachment is based on the amount of the donation.

*$25-$49 = No Attachment
*$50-$99 = 1 Bronze Knot
*$100-$199 = 1 Silver Knot
*$200+ = 1 Gold Knot

====Numerals====
These attachments are also only used for a few different awards. These include:

*The Army Air Medal
*The NCO Professional Development Ribbon
*Overseas (Arma) Service Ribbon
*ACV Service Ribbon
*Squad Service Ribbon
*WWII Service Ribbon

The Army Air Medal is very straight forward when it comes to attachments. 1st Award = No Attachment, 2nd Award = “1” Attachment, etc. The same rule applies for the 4 Service Ribbons.

The NCO Development Ribbon works differently. In order for a person to receive the NCO Ribbon, they must earn the rank of Sergeant. An attachment is then added for every NCO rank that trooper earns after Sergeant.

*Sergeant: NCO Ribbon with No Attachment
*Staff Sergeant: “1” Attachment
*Sergeant First Class: “2” Attachment
*Master Sergeant: “3” Attachment
*First Sergeant: “4” Attachment
*Sergeant Major: “5” Attachment
*Command Sergeant Major: “6” Attachment

Note: If a trooper is a Sergeant First Class and they get demoted to a Staff Sergeant, the attachment on their NCO Ribbon does not change. The attachment on their NCO Ribbon should always represent the highest rank they have held as and NCO.

==Cords and Branch Insignia==
Cords (fourragere) and Pins are placed on uniforms to distinguish the Primary Billet or MOS of a trooper (aviation, armor, infantry, engineer, medic, etc.).
In order to check a trooper's MOS check either their MILPAC or their assignment posting on the 7th Cav forums.

===Cords===
Cords are ONLY given to NCOs and Enlisted troopers. If a trooper is promoted to officer, the cord is taken away.
(With the exception of officers who have a role as Aide to Regimental Staff)

The most common types of cord given out are as follows...

*Infantry - Light Blue Cord (only issued to soldiers with an MOS of 11B (Infantryman) or 11C (indirect Fire Infantryman).
*Armor - Yellow Cord (B/2/C/2-7 section)
*Medic - Purple Cord (3/B/1-7 platoon only)
*Engineer - Red and White Cord (not used as of 2019)
*MP - Green and Yellow cord allocated to fully qualified MPs
*Artillery - Red cord (HLL section E/2/C/2-7 only)
*Aiguillettes - Yellow Cord (Only for Roles that are Aide to Regimental Staff)

A/1-7 company (Aviation) and 2/B/1-7 platoon (Cavalry Scouts - MOS 19D) are the only compositions who do not wear a cord.

===Branch Insignia===
Branch insignia (pins) are worn on the lapels and give a visual indication of the branch the soldier belongs too. Within our community, this is also an indication of that soldier's MOS.

There are 2 different sets of pins for use by Enlisted/NCOs and by officers.

The common NCO / Enlisted Trooper Pins are:

*Infantry
*Cavalry
*Armor
*Medical
*Aviation
*Artillery

Note: The Infantry Pin is the only pin that should be accompanied by the US Pin with the matching light blue disk around it.

There is a wider variety of Officer Pins because officers may hold more types of primary billets aside from the normal battalion combat roles. These other roles include departments such as S6 (IMO), SPD, Military Police, JAG, etc.

All officer primary billet pins are accompanied by the US Officer Pins on both sides of the collar.

===Service Stripes===

There are two types of service stripes that can go on the uniform. There is one type for enlisted troopers and NCOs and another for officers. Both types represent a year of active service. The easiest way to determine how many stripes a person should have is by looking at their Good Conduct Medals. For example, if they have 2 GCMs, they should also have 2 service stripes. Because both the service stripe and the GCM mean the same thing, make sure that every time a trooper is awarded a GCM, they are also getting a service stripe.

The Enlisted / NCO service stripes are located on the right sleeve of the uniform. There are a maximum of 10 stripes, all of which are on the uniform by default. Simply open the layer group and enable visibility on the additional stripe.

[[File:S1Uniforms11.png|border|400px]]

Officer stripes are located on the left sleeve. and work in exactly the same way as NCO stripes.

[[File:S1Uniforms12.png|border|400px]]

==Unit Citations==
Citations are awarded to groups of people rather than individuals. They work the same way as ribbons when being placed on the uniform. They are located just above the nameplate on a trooper's uniform. Most prestigious on the top left. Least prestigious on the bottom right. The citations in the GIMP layers are in the correct order (Most prestigious on top). Similar to ribbons, the citations must also be center in line with the pocket button.

[[File:S1Uniforms13.png|border|400px]]
There must always be a 1 pixel gap between all citations on all four sides.

Citations, and their associated attachments, are grouped as are ribbons and medals. If a citation is awarded for a second time, simply opens up the attachment group for the award and enable visibility on the second/third/fourth etc. awards.

[[File:S1Uniforms14.png|border|400px]]

==Infantryman Badges==
Infantry Badges are awarded for participation in official combat operations.

*The Expert Infantry Badge = Awarded for 1st operation
*The Combat Infantry Badge = Awarded for 5th operation
*The Combat Infantry Badge 2 = Awarded for 10th operation
*The Combat Infantry Badge 3 = Awarded for 15th operation
*The Combat Infantry Badge 4 = Awarded for 20th operation

These badges should be placed above the ribbons on the right side of the uniform. They should be centered along with the ribbons, however, if the right collar is blocking most of the badge, simply shift the badge slightly to the right so that the stars on the top of the badge are showing.

==Course Completion Badges==
There are a variety of different badges that can be given out to our members by completing courses and evaluations. They are as follows:

*Basic Jump Wings
*Senior Jump Wings
*Master Jump Wings
*Air Assault Badge
*Basic EOD Badge
*Senior EOD Badge
*Master EOD Badge
*Basic HALO Wings
*Master HALO Wings
*Flight Medic Badge
*Combat Medic Badge
*Expert Field Medic Badge
*Army Aviator Badge
*Senior Aviator Badge
*Master Aviator Badge
*Aircrew Badge
*Senior Aircrew Badge
*Master Aircrew Badge

Each uniforms is only allowed a maximum of 3 badges on the right pocket underneath the ribbons. Weapon Qualifications are replaced by badges in order to fit all 3 badges. The least prestigious qualifications are replaced first. Always keep the badges centered on the pocket. So, if there is only 1 item on the pocket, it should be aligned with the button on the right pocket. If there are 2 items on the pocket, they should be located on either side of the pocket button.

If a trooper receives more than 3 badges, the extras a placed on the pinboard on the left side by the Pinboard Weapon Qualifications. However, certain badges are allowed to be placed on the uniform between the ribbons and the EIB/CIBs. Those badges are as follows:

*All variants of the EOD Badge
*All variants of the Aviation Badge
*The Flight Medic Badge

===Jump Wings===
The Basic Jump Wings are awarded after a trooper completes the Basic Airborne Course. Once a trooper has earned his/her Basic Jump Wings, they are now eligible to receive Jump Star attachments on their wings. They are awarded up to 5 combat jumps that take place in operations, the 5th jump receiving a gold star. All the versions of the Jump Wings with different amounts of stars are already in the layers section in GIMP.

Once a trooper completes the Jump Master Course, their Basic Jump Wings are replaced by the Senior Jump Wings (whatever stars were on Basic Jump Wings are carried over).

A trooper is awarded their Master Jump Wings if he/she instructs the Jump Master Course (Again, any stars are transferred over).

===HALO Wings===
HALO Wings work in a similar way to the Jump Wings. The Basic HALO Wings are awarded for successful completion of the HALO course and the Master HALO Wings are awarded for instructing the course.

HALO Wings also receive jump stars the same way as Jump Wings (1 bronze star per jump, the 1 gold star for the 5th). Like Jump Wings, the Jump Stars get carried over with the upgrading of the badge. All the necessary images are in the layers section in GIMP.

===Medical Badges===
The Expert Field Medic Badge is awarded for successful completion of the Combat Medic Course. It is replaced by the Combat Medic Badge which is awarded for filling the role of a Medic in an operation (Awarded by the OIC of the operation).

===EOD Badges===
The Basic EOD Badge is awarded upon successful completion of the Basic EOD Course. It is replaced by the Senior EOD Badge which is awarded for successful completion of the Advanced EOD Course. The Master EOD Badge replaces both the Basic and Senior variants and is awarded for instructing the EOD Course.

===Aviation and Aircrew Badges===
The Army Aviation Badge is replaced by the Senior Aviator Badge which itself is replaced by the Master Aviator Badge. The Aircrew badges work the same way.

==Department Crests==
Crests and badges are given to troopers who are assigned to secondary billets outside their normal combat roles. Some examples of secondary billets are the S Shops, Military Police, RTC (Recruit Training Center), and the Recruiting Department.

Crests are placed on a trooper's uniform right above their unit citations and name plate on the left side of the uniform.

[[File:S1Uniforms15.png|border|400px]]

Only one departmental crest can be worn on the uniform at any one time. However, if a trooper has won the Armed Forces Service Medal for previous service to a department, then that departmental crest can be displayed on the pinboard.
The following crests are those currently authorised for use.

==Department Badges==
Badges are placed on the right side of a trooper's uniform.

The following badges are located on the lower portion of the right pocket..

*Recruiter (RRD) Badge
*General Staff Badge
*Drill Instructor (RTC) Badge
*MP Badge
*CID Badge
*Instructor Badge

The Instructor Badge has 3 versions. The Basic Instructor Badge is given to all instructors. The Senior and Master Instructor badges are statutory upon the instructor having taught 15 and 25 classes respectively.
Both the RRD and RTC badges have a Gold version which is given out to the heads / leads of the department and it replaces the basic badge.

===Retention of Departmental Crests===
Upon leaving their department, any trooper who has been awarded a Gold, Senior or Master Recruiter Badge, or a Senior or Master Instructor badge (hereinafter referred to as statutory badges), will be entitled to retain and display those badges of office on the right side of their uniform pin-board when they leave their department. This entitlement will be irrespective of any award of the Armed Forces Service Medal (AFSM).

Troopers who have been awarded a statutory badge, and remain active within that department, and additionally serve in a tertiary billet which entitles them to wear an additional badge of office, will be allowed to display their statutory badge on the right side of their pin-board. For example, if a trooper is a fully qualified MP and, in addition, has achieved a Gold Recruiter badge, then that trooper would be entitled to wear their MP badge on their left pocket and display their Gold Recruiter badge on the right side of their pin-board.

Those who have qualified to wear any of the standard badges of MP, Recruiter, or Basic Instructor will, upon leaving their respective departments, have their badges removed from their Uniform and will not be entitled to have those badges on their pin-board.

Those who have worked in a department and have been awarded the AFSM for services to that department, will be entitled to display the relevant departmental crest on the left side of their pin-board whether that be S1, S2, S3, S5, IMO, WAG, ROO/RRD/RTC, MP or JAG.

In the event there is not space on the right or left side to fit the specific above awards, then placement is at the best discretion of the Clerk and Uniforms Lead.

[[File:S1Uniforms16.png|border|400px]]

The following badges are located in the same place as the course completion badges:

*Pathfinder Badge
*Master Gunner Badge

[[File:S1Uniforms17.png|border|400px]]

==Tabs==
Tabs are worn on the right sleeve. These include the:

*Special Forces Tab (SF)
*Ranger Tab
*Sapper Tab
*Long Range Reconnaissance Patrollman Tab (LRRP)

The topmost tab must be worn parallel to the top of the Cavalry Division patch worn on the left sleeve.

[[File:WGm2rU4.png|border|500px]]
All Crests and Badges for a trooper's billets are not all necessarily permanent. If a trooper drops or is removed from a billet, they will have their crest or badge removed unless they have received an Armed Forces Service Medal for that department. If they were in the department long enough to receive an AFSM, the crest or badge is then moved to their pinboard.

If they have an AFSM for the department and they leave that department, the crests go to the left side of the pin-board, typically under the weapon qualifications.

==Weapon Qualifications==
Weapons qualification are located on both the pinboard and right pocket of the uniform. The qualifications on the pocket will eventually be replaced by Course Completion Badges: the higher qualifications being the last to be replaced. The qualifications on the chest should have a maximum of 3 attachments. Any additional weapon attachments should be left out from the uniform, but present on the pinboard.

There are 3 types of qualifications a trooper can get. Expert (highest), Sharpshooter, and Marksman. When being placed on both the pinboard and the right pocket, always place the highest qualifications on the left and the lowest on the right.

Only the two highest qualifications should be placed on the chest. For example, if a trooper scores Expert for Rifle, Sharpshooter on Grenade and Marksman on Pistol, then only the Expert and Sharpshooter qualifications appear on the chest while all three will appear on the pinboard.

There are a variety of different weapons that troopers can qualify with:

*Rifle
*Grenade
*Tank Weapons
*M203 Launcher
*Machine Gun
*Recoilless Rifle
*Pistol
*Aeroweapons
*Carbine
*Auto Rifle
*Hydra 70

These weapon attachments above are in order as they should appear on the uniform. For example, if a person has an expert qualification with both the rifle and the grenade, the rifle should always be on top.

[[File:S1Uniforms18.png|border|220px]]
Weapon Re-Qualifications
If a trooper re qualifies with a weapon and receives a different score, their uniform should always reflect the most recent qualification, for better or worse.

===Enlistment Process===
====Overview====
Your enlistment involves more than just submitting some information on a web form. Our top priority here is to have fun, but for us ''FUN'' means joining with others who have the self discipline to play as a team in a mil-sim unit. We ask you to gain a basic understanding of our rules and policies. We require our members to hold themselves to high standards of conduct and judgement. Potential recruits are evaluated to make sure we are admitting individuals who are mature enough to do so. For example, our S2 department conducts a gaming background check on each recruit.

'''The entire process''' takes a little bit of time to complete, and a bit of effort to coordinate. Please be patient during this process. We try to be quick, but sometimes it takes a few days rather than a few hours to complete these steps.

====Step 1: Website Registration and Enlistment====

# Create an account on [https://7cav.us/ 7cav.us]
# Ensure you have access to the email account used as a verification email will be sent to complete the registration
# Once registration is complete, login into the website and fill out an enlistment form at 7cav.us/enlist
# Having trouble finding your Steam ID? Try [https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/2816-BE67-5B69-0FEC Steam Support] or [https://steamid.io/ SteamID Finder]. Alternatively:
## Open up your Steam client and choose View, then click Settings
## Choose Interface and check the box that reads, "Display Steam URL address when available"
## Click OK
## Now click on your Steam Profile Name and select View Profile
## Your SteamID will be listed in the URL at the top left (it's the really long number at the end.)
# Once your enlistment is submitted, be sure to join our discord and select the channel roles relevant to you to get in on the fun! A detailed walkthrough can be found [https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Discord here]
# IMPORTANT: You do not need to wait for confirmation to get involved with the community. While you wait for the response from our processors, we highly encourage you to join your new peers in the public discord channels for gameplay, or even join events!
# Congrats you have officially begun the enlistment process! You will now enter processing

====Step 2: Processing====

# Within 48 hours of enlisting, you will generally be sent a forum private message or “PM” on the forums from a member of our processing team. You will be asked to affirm your desire to join the 7th Cavalry and the processor will assist with any name changes should they be needed.
# Remember to read your Welcome Letter PMs Bootcamp Package thoroughly. They contain important dates and details.
# During the entire enlistment process, we ask for your patience as our 100% volunteer team works to onboard you into the community as quickly as possible. However, please be patient, we ask to please allow at least 48 hours for our team to respond. This response time can at times be extended during high volume. We also encourage enlistees to reach out using the recruitment channel on our discord in the event they do not receive a response within 72 hours at any point in the process in order for our command team to ensure the process is moving along accordingly
# Often, processing happens as fast as you are able to respond to any inquiries so please check your forum pms regularly and respond quickly to facilitate the recruitment process. Remember you also get notified by email of all PMs on the forums as an additional tool for keeping track of PMs.
# Once your name and application is approved by our processors, our team will conduct a background check in order to protect our community from malicious intenders. Our team will look at gaming history using sites such as PBBans and SteamRep. We ask for your cooperation if in the rare case our team has any queries.
# Our team will then create your personalized military uniform and record along with assigning a drill instructor (DI) who will help you to integrate you into the community. This process may take up to 72 hours so please be patient and ensure you are responding to any forum pms during this time
# Once a DI is assigned to you, they will work with you to set-up a time for boot camp
# Since the 7th Cavalry is a global community, we utilize UTC as the standard time zone with which we schedule events and trainings: [https://www.utctime.net/utc-time-zone-converter Converter]

====Step 3: Bootcamp====

# Bootcamp will be conducted in the game and any required mods/DLC must be downloaded prior to the bootcamp. Walkthrough for each game are available via 7cav.us
# Boot Camp in the 7th Cavalry has a different purpose than in the real Army. Instead of a lot of yelling and running and push-ups, you can expect a healthy dose of explanation and instruction.
# You will qualify on multiple weapon ranges and be able to successfully demonstrate your command of the game controls by the end of this training.
# Once you graduate boot camp you will officially be a member of the 7th Cavalry and it will be time to select your squad/section

====Step 4: Choosing a Section====

# Upon boot camp graduation you will need to select a Squad/Section to participate in weekly practice. A wide range of times and days are available to choose from depending on the game you wish to join.
#* Examples of this for [https://7cav.us/threads/354/ ARMA3], [https://7cav.us/threads/416/ HLL], and [https://7cav.us/threads/15274/unread HLL-Console]
# If you are joining a game in the “starting” phase these requirements may be different, and details will be provided by the drill instructor on a case by case basis.
# You will be required to reply to a weekly roll call post on the forums and attend a weekly 1 hour practice with your squad.
# If you are unable to attend practice due to work, or other real life difficulties, make-up options or excused leave of absences are available upon request to your chain of command (CoC)

==After the Bootcamp==
===Chain of Command===
The structure of a Chain of Command is a cornerstone of military organization. As a means of effectively managing a large group, and still remaining aware and being accountable for individual needs, the chain of command structure has proven itself to be highly effective for centuries. The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment strives to reflect a realistic military unit as authentically as possible. This is part of what it means to be a military realism unit. We are also a large group. Managing large groups can be chaotic if you don't have a good system in place to delegate responsibilities. We adhere to the Chain of Command structure as our method of communicating and coordinating our members to work as one big effective team. You will soon find that the Chain of Command is present in all billets and positions within our clan. The chain of command includes both authority and responsibility. These flow up the chain as well as down the chain.

Those of you joining us with prior military experience may be familiar with Chain of Command systems which feature a roughly parallel Non-Commissioned Officer support channel. This is indeed the model used here, but for purposes of simplicity it may be easiest at first for new troopers to view the Chain of Command as a single structure which includes both Non-Commissioned Officers and Officers.

The Chain of Command, abbreviated as CoC, may seem daunting at first, especially for those of us without real-life military experience. Trust us when we say that after you have been here for a few months this will all make perfect sense and you will feel very comfortable with how it works. If you would like to learn more about it right now, you can read about the [[Rank Promotion and Reduction Guidelines|Command Structure]]. However, the most essential thing for you to learn as a new trooper is how to communicate with your immediate Chain of Command.

Think of the Chain of Command as a literal chain. If a chain is twisted into a knot, or if one of the links is broken, that entire chain becomes weak and ineffective. Every member of 7th Cavalry must follow their Chain of Command. This is explained in our [[Rules|Rules and Regulations]]. Don't skip the next link in the chain. Remember that everybody wants and deserves a fair chance to answer a question or resolve a problem. The next person in your Chain of Command has earned his or her billet, so make sure you respect that by not skipping them.

As a new trooper, many of your questions about the unit and about the game can be answered by fellow troopers. Of course, some advice is better than others. When it comes to direct orders, policy, or similar official-seeming information, you will always be correct if you are getting your answers through your chain of command. Your Fire Team Leader may be delegated certain responsibilities within your squad. Your Squad Leader has full authority and responsibility for all squad members. After exhausting every possible means to communicate and get an answer from your Fire Team Leader and Squad Leader, if you can not get your issue resolved the next person in you CoC is your Platoon Sergeant. You can escalate your issue to this level, but only if you have fully communicated the issue to your Squad Leader first. Still have questions? Ask your Squad Leader to discuss it with you in greater detail.

===Communication===
Familiarize yourself with the forums and the Private Message (PM) system. This is our primary method of communicating administrative information. It is how you will learn about upcoming operations, new departmental openings, available courses, changes to policies... and everything else which is essential to being part of the Cavalry and discharging your daily/weekly duties within the regiment. Remember that communication is your responsibility. If you have a question, ask it. If you have an issue in your section, PM or speak with your Section Leader, ASL or FTL. If it is an extremely pressing issue and no one in your immediate Chain of Command is present at the time, notify the next person in your Chain of Command. If there is an issue... speak up!
"Don't assume, always ask questions when in doubt."

==Forums Guide==
===How to locate your Section's forums===
The forum for the 7th Cavalry contains much information and could be overwhelming to take in when first confronted with it. Initially, the most important thing to learn is how to locate your Section's forums. This is key as it is required to post at least once on our forums per week in order to continue being a member. Once a week your Section Leader will create a new topic named ''roll call'' together with the contemporary dates. You, as a trooper, are required to reply to this topic. This is how you locate where your roll call is. In the following example we are imagining being a trooper of A/1/A/1-7.

* Click "Forums" at the top center of the page.
* Click your Platoon's forum.
* Click your Section's forum.
* You are now in your Section's forum. Here you can see all new posts and most importantly; the roll call for the week. A good tip is to click the "Follow this forum" (top right in the image below), you will then receive a notification whenever a new topic is created in this forum.

===How to use Private Messaging===
Click on the Inbox icon on the top of the website
To read your messages, click the message title.
To view all messages, click on "read more" at the bottom of the dropdown menu
To start a conversation, click "start a new conversation" from the dropdown menu.

===Use of the Personnel Action Form===
A Personnel Action Form (PAF) is an administrative document any member can fill in to request various actions such as Game Transfers, Leave of Absence (LOA), Extended Leave of Absence (ELOA), Department Applications, Drop on Request (DoR), and discharge. It is also used to get excused from various 7th Cavalry events. Available forms can be found [https://7cav.us/form/ here].

====PAF Guidelines for LOA====
Leave of Absence is the term used for an absence of less than 14 days. During a member's leave of absence they are excused of all 7th Cavalry activities taking place during the absence. Troopers in Training Unit must have their LOAs approved by TU/1-7 Company Staff and may not be approved if the reason is not sufficient to justify loss of training. If you need to be excused from responsibilities for a period of 14 days or less, you may request a Leave of Absence (LOA) through the PAF system. When submitting a PAF for an LOA, make sure to also notify your Section/Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, and Company XO via PM to ensure the PAF process is completed in a timely manner.

====PAF Guidelines for ELOA====
Extended Leave of Absence is the term used for an absence of more than 14 days. During a member's extended leave of absence they are excused from all 7th Cavalry activities taking place during the absence. In order to terminate an ELOA, a member ready to resume normal duties must fill in a separate PAF for "return to active duty". Only personnel whose rank is Private First Class (E-3) or higher are permitted to go on ELOA. If you need to be away longer than 14 days, you may request an Extended Leave of Absence (ELOA) for up to 45 days by submitting an ELOA request through the PAF system. When submitting a PAF for ELOA or return from ELOA, always be sure to notify your Section/Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Battalion SGM, Battalion XO, and Battalion CO in order to ensure the PAF process is completed in a timely manner.

====PAF Guidelines for Discharge====
If, for whatever reason, you want to discharge from the Regiment then the first step you should take is speak to someone. If you have an issue or concern, get with your Chain of Command and see if the problem can be resolved. Every single member of this unit is a valued member and your superiors will listen to you if you have a genuine worry. If the reason for discharge is not related to the unit and involves personal factors, then consider other options (such as LOA/ELOA) before filing discharge, as you may only discharge and re-enlist 3 times in total (with very, very rare exceptions).

When submitting a PAF for discharge, always be sure to notify your Section/Squad Leader, Platoon Sergeant, Battalion SGM, Battalion XO, and Battalion CO in order to ensure the PAF process is completed in a timely manner.

====PAF Guidelines for Department Applications====
When positions are available in departments, members of the Regiment who meet the department's minimum requirements can apply to join said department. Position openings are usually posted in [https://7cav.us/forums/15/ this forum] and may require additional actions such as the sending of PMs to appropriate personnel. An application for a department should only be made when the applicant is confident that they will be able to perform the required duties to the best of their ability.

====PAF Guidelines for Drop on Request====
If, for whatever reason, you need to leave a department that you are currently a part of (it must be a secondary billet) then you will need to file for a DoR. It is polite to inform your immediate superior within that department that you have submitted the PAF so that it can be completed in a timely manner.

====PAF Guidelines for Game Transfers====
If, for whatever reason, you want to change your assigned Area of Operations within the Regiment and switch to a combat billet in another game then you will need to file a PAF requesting transfer to that game. Transfers require the approval of your current combat billet's Chain of Command, so you will need to inform your immediate superior of your request either prior to filing the PAF (preferred) or at least at the time of filing the PAF.

==Identify Yourself==
Visual identification is something we largely take for granted, but in a virtual community this basic human ability requires careful attention and effort. We have a few ways to accomplish this. By using forum avatars, forum signatures, and MILPACS service jackets, it is possible to display of a member's rank, billet, awards, and qualifications. It helps to fill the void of intuitive recognition that would otherwise be present in face to face interactions. The 7th Cavalry S1 Department is in charge of our forum avatars, forum signatures & MILPACS. The S1 Department has 3 sub-departments: S1 Signature Shop, S1 Avatar Shop, and S1 MILPACS.

===Forum Avatars===
Forum avatars are the images displayed to the left of PMs and posts on the forums. They contain an OCP camouflage background, with the 7th Cavalry shield and the individual's rank insignia displayed within the shield. It is a requirement to use your 7th Cavalry avatar if you have one, you can find them [[Avatars | here]]. You can find more information and downloads in [https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Avatars this topic.]

===Linking your Avatar to your Forum Account===
All you have to do is visit [https://7cav.us/account/avatar] and upload your avatar.

Now you should have a luxurious avatar linked with your forum profile which will appear next to your posts in the forums & PMs! If for some reason you have encountered a problem, contact your Training Sergeant and seek further assistance.

===Updating your avatar===
If your avatar is not up-to-date then simply repeat the steps mentioned above

===Forum Signatures===
Forum signatures are the images displayed at the bottom of PMs and posts on the forums. They are completely optional to use, and can be an image or text. Signatures are a good way to express your personality, and to help others identify you visually. Anyone can create their own signature or request one from the S1 Signature Shop.

===Linking a Signature to your Forum Account===
You will first need to upload your .png file to a web host so that you can use the link in your signature. Once you have done that, simply click [https://7cav.us/account/signature this link] and in the large textbox, look for the picture / image icon. Click the icon and paste the image URL into the box that appears. Once that is done, click the "Save Changes" button to set your signature.

===Requesting Signatures from S5 Graphics===
If you wish to request a signature from the SS5 Graphics department, there are 2 ways in which you can do so:

* Make a regular request in the [https://7cav.us/threads/5358/ Graphics Request Forum]
* Make a private request via PM to an S5 Graphics artist

Both methods still require the requester to meet the minimum requirements as outlined

===MILPACS===
[[File:KrazeeUniform.jpg|300px]]

An individual's Military Personnel Accounting Activity/Military Personnel Accounting Center (MILPAC) contains their entire service information, complete with Time-In-Grade (TIG), Time-In-Service (TIS), awards, medals, commendations, negative actions, etc. MILPACS are created and maintained by the S1 MILPACS department.

====Service Information Updates====
Your service information on your MILPAC should be updated within 14 days of the official post for the change (such as promotion post) by a S1 MILPACS Clerk. If it is not up-to-date '''''after''''' 14 days, then you should raise a [https://7cav.us/tickets/categories/5/create support ticket].

====Uniform Updates====
Uniforms are updated less regularly than MILPACS or Avatars. They are updated by a small team of individuals who are responsible for uniforms throughout the whole Regiment. If a considerable amount of time has passed and your uniform is still missing something, then you should consider raising a [https://7cav.us/tickets/categories/5/create support ticket].

==Combat Operations and Exercises==
===Operations / Missions===
Combat operations are organized missions provided by the S3 Battle Staff Department on a regular basis that stack with other operations to form a Campaign. Operations usually involve the entire Battalion and last several hours. Operations take place in a formal, organized environment where all Companies work as a cognitive unit to accomplish the goals set forth prior to the mission's execution.

===Field Training Exercise===
A Field Training Exercise (FTX) describes a coordinated exercise conducted by military units for training purposes. In the 7th Cavalry, FTXs come in many shapes & forms. The most common types of FTXs are; those used in Training Unit training sessions at the end of each chapter to evaluate the trooper's understanding of the information covered, those used at platoon level to run an entire platoon through a single training exercise, and those used at company level to run an entire company through a single training exercise.

===Battalion FTX Policies===
Elsewhere in the Battalion, FTXs are conducted at platoon & company level through-out the year. FTXs take place once per month (rotating between platoon & company level FTXs) and will involve the completion of; an operation style mission, or training exercise. Through-out the year, companies will hold Joint FTXs (JFTXs) between 2 or more companies. JFTXs operate in the same way as regular FTXs, but with a larger allied force involved and more focus on improving the co-working efficiency of the 2 companies.

===Requirements to Attend Operations===

# You must have completed your weekly training or have been excused
# You must have signed in on roll-call
# You must not be AWOL or on LOA/ELOA and
# You must not have any active negative action penalties

There are no minimum rank requirements for operations

Official Operations are announced in [https://7cav.us/categories/328/ this forum.]

==More Helpful References for New Troopers==
===Section Abbreviation===
All sections in the 7th Cavalry are often referred to in their abbreviated form. Learn your section's abbreviation, as this will be most useful when conveying information. 

A section abbreviation often looks something like this:

'''"A/1/A/1-7"''' or '''"D/2/B/2-7"''' 

The abbreviations follow the following form: '''"Section Initial/Platoon Number/Company Initial/Battalion Number-Regiment Number"''' 

So the two examples spelled out would be:

Alpha Section/1st Platoon/Alpha Company/1st Battalion-7th Cavalry
and
Delta Section/2nd Platoon/Bravo Company/2nd Battalion-7th Cavalry

===24-Hour Clock System & Date SOP===
The 7th Cavalry utilizes the 24-Hour Zulu Time Zone Clock for communicating set times for official duties. This encompasses times for Section Practices, Operations, Schools, Meetings, etc. Please familiarize yourself with the system if you are unacquainted with it:

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/zulu 
Furthermore, members of the 7th Cavalry come from all over the world. There is a difference in how to write out dates depending on where you are from, in the Cavalry the following format is used:

DDMONYY e.g. 20AUG13 for 20 August 2013.

Please refrain from using DD/MON/YEAR or MON/DD/YEAR or YEAR/MON/DD as these formats most frequently differ from country to country.

===FAQ===
====Why haven't I been assigned to a Drill Instructor yet?====

* Recruit Training Command processes a lot of paperwork concerning new recruits in the 7th Cavalry. The best thing to do is to wait, it can take up to three days before you are assigned to a DI.

====When will my boot camp be scheduled?====

* Speak with your DI and (s)he will inform you when your boot camp will be scheduled.

====I just got assigned to a DI, I'm going to show up for the Bootcamp on DAY.====

* Slow down there. First step in the process is a Briefing. Policy states that we must do a briefing 1 day prior to the bootcamp you attend. Get with your DI to schedule a time for a briefing.

====How long until I get this rank/billet/position?====

* All ranks have minimum requirements that have to be fulfilled prior to being eligible for the rank. However, remember that eligibility does not imply a guarantee. If you want to know more about the requirements and the ranks in the Cavalry click here.

====What are the requirements for this specialty school?====

* All additional training schools within the Cavalry have different requirements and/or prerequisites that need to be fulfilled prior to attending them. If you want to read more follow this link.

====When do I get to fly stuff?====

* That depends on the Company in which you operate. For Arma, Alpha Company of 1st Battalion (A/1-7) is the aviation company. For DCS, Alpha Company of our Auxiliary Combat Detachment (A/ACD-7) is the aviation company. They both have several requirements and tests that need to be accomplished before receiving your Army Aviator Badge. Only personnel who hold this badge may fly or get priority to fly in 7th Cavalry official operations, trainings, practices, or other official events.

====Where can I find my Section Practice time?====

* Your Section Leader will always post the set time for the Section Practice in the week's roll call. In order to locate your section's roll call for the week, follow the guide above.

====When can I join a secondary department?====

* After you graduate RTC bootcamp, and become a member, there are many secondary or regimental support departments you can volunteer to join as a secondary billet. This means it would be a voluntary additional duty you would perform along with your primary billet (the line unit you joined) to help out the Regiment with other work. You can join a secondary or regimental support department after 30 days of time in service with the Cav.

||'''Infantry (11B)'''||The Infantry are experts in individual skill and teamwork coordination.

Through larger platoon actions, whether in defense or offense, the infantry squad utilizes all member classifications to overwhelm the enemy and seize the objective. Members of the Infantry are masters in land warfare, communication, and tactical movement.

In the Infantry, every member is a rifleman first and a specialist second. As a trooper, each rifleman will train extensively on marksmanship, control over their weapon systems, and team battle drills. Additionally, troopers train in coordination with other support elements to improve our combined arms operations.

===History===

=====Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)=====
One of the earliest game areas of operations (AO) in recorded history for B/2-7 history is COD 4, which served the company from as early as 2008 through August of 2014. The COD AO had numerous combat operations against enemy clans that resulted in 3 Presidential Unit Citations for the Regiment, at least 1 Meritorious Unit Citation, and 1 Army Superior Unit Citation. The AO hosted a variety of specializations and courses, including the legendary Sniper Course (SRT) and Ranger Selection. Several former members of B/2-7 Company Staff went on to serve the Regiment in higher leadership, including one of the four named GOA's, General of the Army (Retired) Scott Bahama who served as the Regimental Commander from February 10th, 2014 to April 15th, 2014.
 

=====Insurgency (2014)=====

=====Squad (2015) and Battalion Closure (2017)=====
To be added at a later date
 

=====Hell Let Loose (2019)=====
In the early fall of 2020, Hell Let Loose grew to 170+ troopers in the AO and thus opened its third company, the "Wolf Pack" of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion. Under [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/windeck-s.239/ Captain Sam Windeck] the company was organized with one platoon of Infantry, and one platoon of Airborne Infantry with a total of 60 troopers. The Company as a whole would rally to place 1st in the 2020 "2-7 Battalion Winter Classic" organized by the HLL RRD with two B/2-7 members placing in the Top 3 for their individual contributions, [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/410/ Specialist Clavin Mix] (1st) and [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/353/ Corporal George Heberlig] (3rd).

|-
||'''Infantry Officer (11A)'''||The infantry officer is responsible for leading Platoons within Bravo Company. Ensuring the readiness of troopers and crewmen. Troopers that serve as an infantry officer have priority for leadership positions in operations.
|-
||'''Infantry (11B)'''||The Infantry are experts in individual skill and teamwork coordination.

Through larger platoon actions, whether in defense or offense, the infantry squad utilizes all member classifications to overwhelm the enemy and seize the objective. Members of the Infantry are masters in land warfare, communication, and tactical movement.

In the Infantry, every member is a rifleman first and a specialist second. As a trooper, each rifleman will train extensively on marksmanship, control over their weapon systems, and team battle drills. Additionally, troopers train in coordination with other support elements to improve our combined arms operations.
|-
||'''Infantry (11B) - Airborne'''||Airborne is the tip of the spear, leading the battle in every way.

Airborne is deployed in small team actions, targeting vital enemy assets, and assaulting enemy objectives in support of larger infantry activities. Members of the airborne are infantry first and recon second, picking and choosing engagements that are in their favor, and relaying crucial information to other elements of the operation.

In the Airborne, troopers will cross-train in basic infantry skills and reconnaissance. Troopers may be required to fight in environments that provide no additional support elements behind enemy lines.

===History===

=====Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007)=====
One of the earliest game areas of operations (AO) in recorded history for B/2-7 history is COD 4, which served the company from as early as 2008 through August of 2014. The COD AO had numerous combat operations against enemy clans that resulted in 3 Presidential Unit Citations for the Regiment, at least 1 Meritorious Unit Citation, and 1 Army Superior Unit Citation. The AO hosted a variety of specializations and courses, including the legendary Sniper Course (SRT) and Ranger Selection. Several former members of B/2-7 Company Staff went on to serve the Regiment in higher leadership, including one of the four named GOA's, General of the Army (Retired) Scott Bahama who served as the Regimental Commander from February 10th, 2014 to April 15th, 2014.
 

=====Insurgency (2014)=====

=====Squad (2015) and Battalion Closure (2017)=====
To be added at a later date
 

=====Hell Let Loose (2019)=====
In the early fall of 2020, Hell Let Loose grew to 170+ troopers in the AO and thus opened its third company, the "Wolf Pack" of Bravo Company, 2nd Battalion. Under [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/windeck-s.239/ Captain Sam Windeck] the company was organized with one platoon of Infantry, and one platoon of Airborne Infantry with a total of 60 troopers. The Company as a whole would rally to place 1st in the 2020 "2-7 Battalion Winter Classic" organized by the HLL RRD with two B/2-7 members placing in the Top 3 for their individual contributions, [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/410/ Specialist Clavin Mix] (1st) and [https://7cav.us/rosters/profile/353/ Corporal George Heberlig] (3rd).
