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.

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==
+
=Personnel Duties and Responsibilities=
===Out into the World===
+
Effective September23 per S5 1IC Fields.Q and 2IC Smithson.R
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.
+
==S5 - HQ - 1IC==
====Contacting Another Clan====
+
===Role of S5 1IC===
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.
+
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.
 
 
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.
 
 
 
===Creating the Folder===
 
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.
 
 
 
{|class=wikitable
 
|-
 
| class="primaryContent" | Last Activity
 
| class="primaryContent" | Status
 
| class="primaryContent" | Action
 
|-
 
| <2 weeks || ACTIVE || Carry on as normal
 
|-
 
| <1 month || INACTIVE || Re-affirm our rules/regulations
 
|-
 
| <2 month || COLD CONTACT || Re-introduce the Cavalry as a concept
 
|}
 
 
 
In reality, update the status as you see fit. But try to stay close to the guidelines.
 
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.
 
 
 
===Meeting the Clan===
 
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.
 
 
 
===Updating the Folder===
 
When updating the folder with any new information, simply reply to the topic of that folder with whatever content you are providing.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
===Organizing the Event===
 
 
 
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 2IC instead.
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
When organizing an event, S5 and S3 must work in conjunction to prepare, plan, and execute the mission. The following steps must be taken before organizing an event with another unit:
 
 
 
#The S5 and S3 lead AO Lead must agree on a mission they would like to run as a joint operation.
 
#An S5 and S3 staff member must agree to run the event
 
#The operation must be run internally at least once to ensure operation is squared away, this includes a rerun if any changes are made to the operation after testing.
 
#The S5 and S3 member then agree on a range of dates and times that they can run the event
 
#S5/S3 leads then approve these dates for an external event
 
#The proposal is then passed to the AO battalion for approval. Battalion staff may delegate this approval to S5/S3 leads at their discretion. Any events with monetary or requiring significant resources from the battalion or regiment must gain approval from both Battalion and Regimental Staff.
 
#S5 member then find another community and organizes the event details with that community
 
#S3 member organizes the event internally and runs the event
 
 
 
 
 
'''''NOTE:'''''the operation will only be posted after approval of respective parties.
 
 
 
===Preparing the Stage===
 
During this time you must send a PM to:
 
  
*The Game leaders (1IC, 2IC, Sr NCO)
+
===Responsibilities of S5 1IC===
*S5 1IC
 
*S3 Personnel involved (if need be)

Introduction to S5

Welcome to S5 Public Affairs

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.

Definition of the Role

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.

Power in Numbers

In S5, we have several members working together to achieve common goals. If you see a S5 PR member not understanding something or making errors, ask to assist them. Take the initiative to help. For all you know that member may be confused by our admittedly steep learning curve of a Department.

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.
