Extended profile
As a squad leader you are responsible for the members who are currently under your command. Additionally you are also responsible for the LZ you place for the pilots to drop you.
Propper communication is key. You will be communicating with high command, pilots and other squad leaders through the command channel, whilst directing your subordinates through the group channel. Try to keep your messages brief and clear, this will prove to encance both gameplay and immersion.
When you lose one of your members for whatever reason, only yourself as the squad leader will be able to get your members linked up with you. In the presence of a HQ you request a re-insertion on a marker that you deem is safe for the pilots to land. In the abscense of HQ you request the same to the pilots. If your members try and talk to high command themselves they will be ignored as there is a chain of command that needs to be respected.
It can prove handy to carry a laser designator accompanied with the necessary batteries to request support from the UAV operator whenever necessary. You also carry 2 blue smokes to request evacuation. None of your subordinates should have that type of smoke on their person. Pilots reserve the right to leave your squad behind if it seems members are either shooting at the chopper or throwing non-necessary smokes at the evacuation location.
