| * **Be clear and specific** – When giving tasks you need to clear and specific. If you do not specify who is doing the task it might not be completed, or everyone might decide they are doing it. This runs into the potential danger that everyone is fixated on the task but you had intended for only one person to do it. So if you want an individual to do something reference them by name. Think before you speak to ensure brevity. Putting all this in practice we get the following examples. A bad order would be: “Guys joey just died, he had that useful AT4, I want someone to go and grab his AT4.”. This is longer that it needs to be, contains unnecessary information and is not specific. The better way to do this would be to say “Sam, get the AT4 from Joey’s corpse”. | * **Be clear and specific** – When giving tasks you need to clear and specific.

| + | Manging your fireteam well requires understanding the composition of your fireteam and some basic tactical knowledge. If you haven’t already read it you should fully understand everything in the **[[basic-infantry-skills|basic infantry skills]]** page before you continue. **You should always be assigning arcs of fire to your fireteam and a suitable formation where applicable**. Remember formations aren’t to look pretty but are used to get the best out of any potential situation. | ||
| + | Your automatic rifleman (AR) will have the most amount of firepower and you should do your best to assign him to the arc that be the most useful to your fireteam. This will most likely be the arc with the highest concentration of enemies or the most vulnerable flank. | ||
| + | The rifleman ani-tank (RAT) will typically have a single shot AT launcher. You should be cautious with its employment. If it is known the enemy will have a lot of enemy armour you should save this until it is needed against armour. If the enemy in a mission is solely infantry without armour you may wish to use this as an explosive weapon against buildings and infantry. | ||
