Section Opening & Closing Policy

The right to open or close sections remains with company staff. Platoon staff may request the opening or closing of a section through forum PM to company HQ. On a case by case basis the opening or closing of a section may be delegated to platoon staff.

The process to open or close a section is as following:

  • Platoon staff submits an opening / closing request for the respective section to company HQ.
  • Company gives the approval to initiate the process of opening or closing the requested section.
    • For standing up a new section there needs to be an SL selected, the SP time included in the initial submission to company HQ, and a minimum of 5 troopers need to transfer into the new section
    • For closing a section, all current troopers need to have found a fitting SP time for their schedule and will be transferred to their chosen section upon closing.

SL and ASL Appointment Policy

By default, the appointment of new Section Leader and Assistant Section Leaders is delegated to platoon leaders. Company staff reserves the right to deviate from this policy as Billet Selection authority as per SOP is the Company Commander. Company staff always reserves the right to review and veto.

Position openings for Assistant Section Leader shall be posted in the respective Position Opening area on the forums with at least 5 days application period. The opening needs to include at least the minimum requirement for applicants, the MOS and the contacts to address the letter of interest to.

If a Section Leader position becomes open and the respective section has a current serving Assistant Section Leader, platoon staff may offer the position of Section Leader to the currently serving ASL without an additional position opening.

The following application process shall be upheld for position openings:

  • Trooper submit their Letter of interest within the application period to the respective staff
  • Staff schedules interviews with every trooper who has submitted a letter of interest
  • After interviews are concluded, the appointing staff shall contact every applicant and inform them of their decision. Applicants who did not get picked for a position shall get informed before announcing a new section staff assignment.
  • Before posting the respective assignment, platoon staff has to send a forum PM to company staff informing them of all applicants and their choice who to appoint for the position. Only if 48 hours pass or company staff signs off on the appointment, platoon staff may post the assignment.

Roll Call Policy

In addition to Regimental SOP about the current weeks roll call, the roll call for the next, following Cav week needs to be posted No Later Than 24 hours within the end of the previous weeks Section Practice by the respective Section Leader or Assistant Section Leader.

i.e. Your SP is on Saturday as the first day of the new cav week. Then you have 24 hours after the end of your Section Practice to post your new roll call for the week starting the Saturday the week afterwards.
