New Units and Field Manual

<abbr title="Major General">MGN</abbr> Astin

I have begun the implementation of new units into the Hammer\\\'s Fist organization. You should now see the following units:

7th Sky Battalion
  - 66th DA (stands for Direct Action) Company
    - Aurek, Besh, and Cresh Platoons with 3 Squads each
  - 1st PsyOps (stands for Psychological Operations) Company
    - Aurek, Besh, and Cresh Platoons with 3 Squads each

The 66th DA Company will be designated with the platform of gaming. All members of this company will primarily be participating in FPS games such as SW: Battlefront II.

The 1st PsyOps Company will be designated with the platform of roleplaying. All members of this company will be primarily participating in runons, writing fiction, etc.

As of right now, all active members who have responded to my email are assigned to the new units. Those who have no yet responded are remaining in the old units until they either respond or declared AWOL. Once all members have been moved from the old units, they will be closed.

You should now see proper unit names and positions, thanks to LGN Zsinj. Squad Member is now Fire Team Member (\"Fire Team\" is shortened to \"Team\" in the actual unit and ID line, though it is still considered a \"Fire Team\"), Squad Leader is now Fire Team Leader, and Platoon Commander is now Detachment Leader. The Field Manual is now uploaded, and the link off from the main site here should direct you to the new manual. It is all completel except for the CSMA and Certification entries.

New Members of the General Staff

I would like to welcome and congrate two new members to the General Staff: MGN Keth D\'Jek to Commander of Operations and COL Rebelkiller to Commander of Training.

MGN Keth has a long background in the Hammer\'s Fist and I believe will be invaluable to getting some quality activities running. COL Rebelkiller brings considerable administration experience in the EH, including time spent as the head of a group academy. He is very eager to help out and I am sure will be a valuable asset to the Hammer\'s Fist.

Congratulations to both of you!

Rank Revisions

You may be asking yourself, what is with the asterisk in my rank?

The ranks have been changed a bit, as such the asterisk indicates you are currently assigned an obselete rank. If you are currently active duty, your rank will be converted soon. If you are not assigned to an active unit, your old rank will remain unless you return to duty, at which point your rank will be converted.

For more information regarding the new ranks, go here: http://eh.stryfe.net/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=1313

For information regarding fixing your rank if you feel you have been given an incorrect one, go here: http://eh.stryfe.net/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=1313

If you have any ideas or plans for the position, please go over that as well. Be professional, and only apply if you are serious about working hard towards the future of the Hammer\'s Fist.

\"Should have done this yesterday...

As of this moment the Guidance and Structure of the Hammer\'s Fist belongs to:

Prefect Astin who comes to us after doing a wonderful job on helping with the rebuild of the TC... he\'s all yours troopers

and

Vice Prefect Ric \"Blade\" Hunter... who you all really nominated for the job but he wanted to back up the big guy... be the Dick Cheney so to speak, the Dark Lord behind the throne :P

Both are very qualified and motivated and have great ideas for the future of the HF... Please give them you complete attention in the days to come as I\'m sure you may even hear from them before you read this.\"

 

Congratulations Astin and Ric

 

SOO Reassigned

Effective today, my primary responsibility will now be as Prefect of the Hammer\'s Fist. Due to the large amount of time and attention I will need to dedicate to this position, it would not be fair to also hold my position in the TC. As such, I will be moving to the Reserves in order to devote 100% of my time to my new position.

I wold like to thank everyone for doing such an incredible job throughout the TC\'s restructure, and I hope the success we have enjoyed the past couple months will continue and grow. Until he says otherwise, please send any inquiries that you would normally send to me to the TCCOM, AD Viper Pred, instead. Thank you all!

Directorate Worlds

Hello All,

It has been a while since I have made a post on the news page, but there is starting to be some more activity in the Directorate.

First off, I have some administration that needs to be taken care of.

  1. The Directorate is not closed, nor is it dead ... yet. High Admiral Rapier, is currently emailing all active members of the Directorate to find out how much interets there is in keeping this group alive.

  2. Looking at the roster you will notice that we have not appointed a Grand Moff, Any inquiries should be directed to the appropriate member of the Ministry Council. General Enquiries, should be adressed to Defast Insite (DGMF), Keth D'Jek (MoE) and Czulvang Lah (MoC) and High Admiral Rapier (JAG Officer). Contact details can be found on their profiles.

Now on to the more interesting things.

I think all the glory for this goes to Sir Crseep, Lieutenant Governor of Osiris, he is working on a project called Directorate worlds, an interactive activity to develop your planets. Further information can be found on the Directorate Forum. http://eh.stryfe.net/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=1275

In Service,
Lord Keth D'Jek, Minister for Education, Count of Curamelle
