Start with who you want to coordinate and at what level. Weapon fantasy comes later; responsibility determines the useful route now.

RESPONSIBILITY / LEDGER

Choose by scope, not weapon fantasy

The official game material confirms these unit families and the chain of command. It does not yet give this guide a stable total role count.

Leadership is a separate commitment

Commander works at team level; Squad Leader connects team intent to a unit. Official launch information makes both tutorials mandatory before role selection. The two compact briefs below merge the verified responsibility boundaries into this page instead of publishing thin standalone guides.

COMMAND / CHECKLIST

What is confirmed before tactics

  1. 01Before selection

    Complete the required Commander tutorial. It covers the role's key mechanics and responsibilities.

  2. 02At team level

    Understand where Commander sits: above unit leaders in the published chain of command.

  3. 03During coordination

    Keep the team-level objective legible to unit leaders. Exact ability values and opening orders are deliberately not asserted here.

FIELD LOOP / REPEAT

Receive → translate → move → report

This loop explains responsibility, not exact controls, spawn placement or equipment.

  1. 01Receive

    Take the team-level objective from Commander.

  2. 02Translate

    Turn that intent into one clear unit action.

  3. 03Move

    Keep the unit coordinated under pressure.

  4. 04Report

    Return the useful result or blocker up the chain.

Editorial callout examples
“Unit, hold this objective while I confirm the next move.”
“Commander, unit is in position; awaiting the next priority.”
Examples written for this guide. They are not official voice-channel rules or quoted in-game lines.

Verified unit families, not invented loadouts

Official game material names infantry, recon, armour, mortar and helicopter units. This hub does not convert those families into exact equipment tables or universal tactics without stronger evidence.
