==Introduction to S5==
|-
'''''1-1: Welcome to S5 Public Relations'''''<br>
| style="text-align:right;"|'''Article Number:'''
Joining S5 puts you on the frontline of the 7th Cavalry. Everyday we work with outside units to help make our content the best it can be for our members, and to improve the Cav’s face to the outside world.
|7CAV-DR-005
 
|-
'''''1-2: Definition of the role'''''<br>
| style="text-align:right;"|'''Scope:'''
The job of a public relations officer is to represent the 7th Cav during talks with other clans. We expect you to visit these clans and embody our rules and regulations. While we do not demand you call other clan members by their ranks at first glance, we do ask that you pay them the respect that you would offer anyone else in the 7th Cavalry. Treat those how you would like to be treated. Speak clearly and honestly and you will always find success.
|S5 Department - Regulations and Procedures
 
|-
'''''1-3: Power in Numbers'''''<br>
| style="text-align:right;"|'''Version:'''
In S5, we have several members working together to achieve common goals. Do not think yourself better than someone else just because you have created more clan folders or coordinated more operations. If you see someone not getting it, ask them to come along with you to other clans. Take the initiative. For all you know that member may be confused by our admittedly steep learning curve of a Department.
|Version 3.0
 
Working with other department members also comes in handy when in meetings with other clans. You have a backup and a comrade with which you can work with. Not only that but the clan you are meeting with will think better of the Cav sending two of its Public Relations officers instead of one. Make them feel special and you will find them far more workable than normal.
 
==Procedures for contacting other groups==
'''''2-1: Out into the World'''''<br>
To begin the process of starting public relations with other clans, we firstly need to meet them. There are two ways the Cav makes contact with other groups. Firstly through actively seeking other clans that fit our play-style and secondly on our own forums where other clans might post seeking to start talks with our group. Either way, its important that you do get in touch with other groups. S5 PR is about being an active member of the Cavalry and not just responding to PMs.
 
'''''2-2: Creating the Folder'''''<br>
When contact with another group is made we need to begin the folder creation process. This is a relatively simple step-by-step form that you fill out for each group you make contact with.
    Clan Name:
    Clan Site:
    Clan Contact:
    Clan Game(s):
    Status:
    Teamspeak info:
    S5 Notes:
 
Above is the foundation for the folders we create. Its a relatively simple form, but it gives us all we need to complete our jobs as most of our work is based around talking with other people and through PMs, not necessarily paperwork.
 
If we take a more in-depth look into the Folder we can see several fields that might not immediately jump out as being obvious. Firstly, by Clan Games we mean only the games that that particular clan and the 7th Cavalry have in common. It is of no use to us if we note down that the Clan we are in talks with also happens to play Spongebob Squarepants the video game©®.
 
Next, we have the status. This is where we continually update the Clan and the Cav's actions together. It is usually obvious when contact with another clan has gone cold, but just to make it easy I have these guidelines.

|}


In reality, update the status as you see fit. But try to stay close to the guidelines.
'''''THIS DOCUMENT MAY NOT BE EDITED WITHOUT S5 APPROVAL.'''''
S5 Notes means your notes. These are the notes of the individual creating the folder, such as:
*Clan contacted via their TeamSpeak / our TeamSpeak
*Clan came to us
*We went to them
*Seemed on good terms
*Acted outside of our code of conduct
 
Basically, you are creating a picture of your initial impression of the group for any future Public relations officer to look at and see how the Cav came into contact with the group. Keep it short, simple and to the point.
 
'''''2-3: Meeting the Clan'''''<br>
Regardless of how you first came into contact with the group, you need to arrange an initial meeting to figure out when we could best run a game together, or whatever it is that you plan on doing. This first meeting is crucial to the future relations between the Cavalry and said group, so take notes and act the part.


You are asking for key things such as:
*Member count + active member count
*Game they wish to use (if needed)
*Server(s) to be used (covered later in 2.5)
*Mods and rules to be used (if needed)
*Our Missions? (if needed)
*Time, Day and Date


Again, these are just guidelines so feel free to add any other content you feel is vital for what you intend to run with the group, however try to keep it formal. The General staff does not want to see you asking the facebook information of their members etc.


'''''2-4: Updating the Folder'''''<br>
=Introduction to S5=
When updating the folder with any new information, simply reply to the topic of that folder with whatever content you are providing.
==Welcome to S5 Public Affairs==
Joining S5 Public Affairs places you on the frontline of the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment's interactions with the outside world. We work closely with external units to enhance our content for members and improve the Cavalry's image and outreach to other communities.


The only time you need to edit the original Folder post is if the Group has changed website, the contact has changed, or something along those lines.
===Definition of the Role===
As a public relations clerk in S5, your job is to represent the 7th Cavalry during interactions with other clans. You are expected to embody our rules and regulations while visiting these clans. While we do not require you to address other clan members by their ranks at first glance, we ask that you treat them with the same respect you would afford anyone within the 7th Cavalry. Clear, honest communication is key to success in this role.


'''''2-5: Organising the Event'''''<br>
===Power in Numbers===
''If the event is to be run on our servers, then read on. If not then continue to 2.6''
In S5, teamwork is crucial. If you notice a fellow S5 PR member struggling, offer assistance. Your initiative can help them navigate our department's learning curve. Working with other department members is also beneficial during meetings with external clans, as having backup strengthens our presence and improves our relations.


Now that we have a date, time and a place we can begin the phase of designing and organising the event. Firstly speak with whoever normally creates operations for the particular game area. They will know the best way forward with creating the actual Operation for our server. For example in BF4, the company staff of D/2-7 would be your best bet. But in ArmA3 it would be wise to go to the S3 NCOIC instead.
=Personnel Duties and Responsibilities=
Effective September23 per S5 1IC 1LT.Anderson.P and 2IC CPL.Whaley.H
==S5 - HQ - 1IC==
===Role of S5 1IC===
The 1IC of S5 is to execute the vision of the Regiment with respect to the upkeep and maintenance of personnel records within the 7th Cavalry Regiment.


Introduce them to the group you have made contact with and let them find the information they need if it is not already in the S5 notes or a subsequent status update. Once they have got that down, let them create the operation. Do not start involving yourself in the operation making process. They will know how best to handle that. Simply check in every now and then to make sure things are on track for the date you have set up. Let them post the Operation post as normal and let our members sign up, just like any ordinary operation.
===Responsibilities of S5 1IC===


'''''NOTE:'''''the operation will only be posted after approval of respective parties. See 2.6
*Respond to communications from the S5 department and external clans.
*Provide monthly reports for CSC meetings.
*Ensure all S5 members have the correct access to resources required for their duties.
*Monitor and respond to external communications via forums and Discord.
*Track department staffing and advise on necessary adjustments.
*Ensure the ASFM tracker is up to date.
*Counsel Staff Leads and AO Leads as needed to maintain adherence to regulations.
*Review and sentence disciplinary documentation where appropriate.


'''''2-6: Preparing the Stage'''''<br>
==S5 - HQ - 2IC==
During this time you must send a PM to:
===Role of S5 2IC===
*The Game leaders (OIC, XO, Sr NCO)
The S5 2IC supports the 1IC in executing duties related to personnel record upkeep and external relations, including maintaining MILPACs and other relevant data.
*S5 OIC
*S3 Personnel involved (if need be)


You will provide the basic information from the initial folder excluding the S5 notes. The Game leader and S5 OIC will give their approval or disapproval as need be.
===Responsibilities of S5 2IC===


Remember, any interaction with another group has to be within the Conduct of the 7th Cavalry. You are on show at all times when with other Clans and so are those with you during operations so make sure to prepare to enforce that when in operations with other groups.
* Oversee the department's health and morale.
*Attend at least one CSC meeting per quarter.
*Perform administrative duties as assigned by the 1IC.
*Ensure the ASFM tracker remains up to date.
*Counsel Staff Leads and AO Leads as needed to ensure compliance with regulations.


Make sure you or another S5 Public Relations Officer is going to be around for at least the start of the operation. You are there to guide the Operation party and the separate group to the start of the operation. e.g. pull down Clan A’s members down into the correct operation channel or move Cav members. They won’t have TS permissions to begin with. Moderate the channels and keep things rolling on. The Operation party will take care of the mission start up and briefing.
==S5 Department Leads==
===Role of the S5 Department Leads===
Department Leads manage specific projects within their department, ensuring the quality of work and counseling new members to maintain effective strength.


'''''2-7: Running the Mission'''''<br>
===Responsibilities of Department Leads===
Here is where your job as an S5 Public relations officer is relinquished. You can either enjoy the operation or leave. It is your choice.


After the operation is finished, go speak with the leader of the operation and the leader(s) of the attending clan(s). After taking note of the good/bad points, make an update to the folder explaining how the operation went. Remember, keep it simple.
*Respond to communications in the S5 Department Comms PM.
*Counsel S5 members as needed to ensure adherence to guidelines.
*Ensure all members of their AO have the correct access to resources.
*Review and finalize disciplinary documentation as needed.
*Provide monthly reports to the 2IC before the 1st of each month.
*Complete any additional tasks assigned by the 1IC or 2IC.


==FAQs==
==S5 Department Senior Clerks==
'''Does the clan I’m talking with get teamspeak permissions on our server?'''<br>
===Role of S5 Department Senior Clerk===
''No. Any permanent server work will be done by S5 OIC and sent upwards for approval. If you feel the need to ask if the clan can get permissions, the clan hasn’t been working with the Cav long enough.''
Senior Clerks support the execution of department duties and oversee the work of Clerks within their AO.


'''Should I put X in the status update?'''<br>
===Responsibilities of S5 Department Senior Clerk===
''Ask yourself this. “Would I need to know this to run the operation?” If the answer is no, then do not include it. At the end of the day our job is more to talk with other groups and not about writing tons of paperwork across the forum for us to pick up after you.''


'''I’m unsure of what to do here with this group. Who do I talk to?'''<br>
*Report issues to the assigned AO Lead.
''There are other S5 Public Relations officers. Talk with them to see what they think. There is a Public Relations Lead, try them. If all else fails there is an S5 Forum PM for you to write in.''
*Supervise product creation and train Clerks.
*Ensure all S5 Department Members are accounted for at all times.


'''The clan I’m working with doesn’t seem cooperative / are ‘not playing nice’.'''<br>
==S5 Department Clerks==
''As an S5 Public Relations Officer you are expected to know what does and does not fit within the Cavalry's Conduct. If you feel at any time that the group you are working with is not right for the Cavalry simply let them know in a polite and controlled manner and let the Public Relations Lead know. He will close the folder for you.''
===Role of S5 Department Clerk===
Clerks are responsible for creating products such as graphics, videos, and public relations content. They report to their assigned Senior Clerk and assist with various tasks.
