ARTICLE 1, ATTENDANCE
It is an expectation that OR's, especially those in the 'upper end', give up approximately 1 hour of time each week - as a minimum. However, some services and regiments may require you to attend events more often. Senior-ranking OR's should endeavor to give up more time during their week in order to assist operations.
Officers are expected to give up slightly more time during their week in order to assist in operations. CO's should give about two hours per week, with SCO's putting in more effort.
ARTICLE 2, RULES OF ENGAGEMENT
On request, each soldier must justify each shot fired. Punishments prevail if shots that were fired cannot be justified.
The following criteria must be taken into account:
I) What 'side' does the suspected assailant appear to be on? Are they on a raider team?
