10-1 LEADERSHIP DUTIES
A commander’s duty is to issue orders to his troops and fulfil his
designated mission. Commanders earn trust from their troops
through solid leadership and maintaining a strong, stable
division. Through this, they can increase their VT ability and
skills.
10-2 NECESSARY QUALITIES FOR A
COMMANDER
A commander has the responsibility to carry out his mission and
is responsible for his troops. A commander must have a good
knowledge of his troops, equipment, tactics, and strategy while
also being a top-notch VT pilot. However, the most important
responsibility of a commander is to earn his troops’ trust, provide
them with a role model, and proceed forward though his mission.
He must work to break though tough situations. In battle he must
maintain a strong will and sharp judgment. He must be quick and
decisive. If the commander hesitates in battle then his troops
become scared and lose their confidence. Because of this he must
carefully analyse the mission he has been assigned and be able to
plan independently.
10-3 ORDERS DURING BATTLE
The platoon commander must make each and every troop
understand his duty, his job and the rules of engagement. He
must command his troops so that they will be at their best. On
this basis he can issue simple orders. making battle strategies
simpler to carry out. The platoon commander must communicate
his orders via the preset communication button 4 or 5, as per
regulations. Doing this makes communications run more
smoothly. There are 4 different orders that can be preset. Based
on the battle plan, the platoon commander must choose 2 of
these orders.
These are the 4 key orders (from which the platoon commander
must choose 2):
1. Separate and Disengage
This is an order to separate from the fight. In the instance
that one of the platoon’s VTs is damaged, the platoon must
try to disengage as quickly as possible. The platoon leader
has a responsibility to carry out his order while protecting
his men. So he must do whatever possible to keep his men
alive.
2. Backup
The platoon troop must use his VT to back up another troop,
in instances such as while co-operating with other forces,
when contact with the enemy has been made, etc. This is to
increase the attack power of the platoon to its fullest. The
platoon commander thoroughly knows the rules and
regulations and has used them in practice and command. He
must raise the level of training for his troops as well.
3. Attack
This is an order to attack the main objective. The platoon
commander issues this order based on the circumstances.
The most important characteristic here is to be a role model
for the troops, but achieving the objective is the main goal
of the whole platoon. In instances where there are multiple
targets, issuing this command will make accomplishing the
mission easier.
4. Disperse
Whenever you sense the enemy coming you can issue an
order to have your troops disperse. This order can be
extremely helpful whenever the topography of the
battlefield makes it a necessity or when you have to search
large areas.
