Ranks and Positions

In order to keep the HF running in Stormtrooper-like efficiency, it is required that we have a chain of command which enables us to quickly communicate orders, requests, and problems. In general, ORDERS flow DOWN the chain of command, while REQUESTS AND QUESTIONS flow UP. It is important to note that Position, not rank dictates authority. While it is rare, a Squad Member who outranks his Squad Leader still has lower authority, commensurate to his lower responsibility and accountability.
