COALITION uses a very basic, but purposeful ranking and grouping structure. Ranks determine veterancy within the community and section, but mean nothing else.

Rank Structure

Recruit

Private

Specialist

Corporal

Sergeant (Section Leader)

Staff Sergeant (Staff/Admin)

Rank Roles

Sergeants

Sergeants are group leaders. They either have the role of running a section both administratively and in-game during action or are a staff sergeant in charge of a staff shop.

Corporals

Corporals are trusted team members within a section and the right hand man of the section leader. They have mastered the art of ArmA and are continuously looked to by new joins for guidance and instruction.

Specialists

Specialists are all dedicated company members who have stood out as pillars of the community. Their contributions both in-game and out make them subject matter experts for everything they do within the community.

Privates

Privates are the newest company members. They have been in the group for at least 2 weeks, passed recruit phase, and have access to nearly everything the company offers. They have proven themselves competent in-game and showed the ability to participate in the community outside of ArmA.

Recruits

Due to the flaky nature of the ArmA community, all new-joins join the group at this rank. Every new join goes through a recruit period to ensure Coalition is a good fit for them and they are a good fit for Coalition. Recruits are scared, confused, and quiet creatures who you can normally find running into machine gun fire at the most inopportune times.

Group Structure

Coalition also uses a two-group system in order to keep the community organized. Each group serves a purpose both inside and out of the community.

Company

The company is the backbone of the community. All members of the company are considered full members of Coalition and are assigned to a Section/Squad to play with in-game. Company members range from anyone in the ranks of Privates to Sergeants.

Sections

As of 2024, the Company is divided into sections. These sections each have their own roles in-game per campaign as well as section leaders who administrate and lead all members of their section.

Headquarters

The brains of the community and ArmA sessions. Each headquarters member has a specific role they play in the administration and/or technical side of the group. All headquarters members are Staff Sergeants.

Staff Shops

Each headquarters member is directly in charge of a staff shop. Company members can apply to join a staff shop and help the s-shop leader run things.

S-1: Personnel - Shimavitz
- S-1's entire job is to manage personnel. Promotions, awards, section changes, etc...
S-2: Recruiting and Applications - Stalin
- S-2's job is to ensure new applicants get processed and assigned to appropriate sections
S-3: Operations and Gameplay - tanaKa
- S-3 ensures campaigns, operations, and mods are ran smoothly. S-3 also manages training and schedules.

In-Game

After reading all of the above, you may be interested how this is reflected in game, it's quite straight forward.

Campaigns:

During Campaigns, Platoon HQ consists of Staff Sergeants only due to them being in Headquarters in the discord. Sergeants, who lead their sections in the discord, are the leaders of the in-game squads named after their section, this helps everyone keep a sense of uniformity. Furthering the last point, Corporals take the place of Fireteam leaders and they manage the Privates and Recruits who are the rank and file soldiers.

-=== Recruits ===
+=== Company ===
-Simply put, the recruit group is the entry group into the community. Every recruit's job is to take part in the community, learn how to be proficient while in-game, and ultimately, play ArmA. Every recruit also undergoes a Peer-Review process by all major members of The Company. Recruits can be peer-reviewed out of the community due to lack of activity, inability to learn how to play ArmA proficiently, and not interacting with the community as a whole. Recruits are limited to AAR, RAT, Driver, and Ammo Bearer roles in order to learn how our structure and chain of command works. Recruits also do not have access to XMLs until becoming apart of the company.
