Promotions and Activity

Promotions are done every 2nd and 4th week of every month and generally depend on activity within the community, contributions to the community, and ability to learn and grow as a leader. Keep in mind that the "pyramid theory" is used for ranks in the community. This means there must always be more grunts than soldiers, soldiers than veterans, etc...

Recruit -> Grunt

Promotion from Recruit to Grunt is based on administrative decision. After attending sessions on a normal basis and showing up outside of sessions, Headquarters will promote you as soon as possible to Grunt status. Simply stay active, learn how to fireteam lead, and be a great fireteam member.

Have a firm understanding of how fireteam leading works
Understand the roles within a fireteam

Grunt -> Soldier

Promotion from Grunt to Soldier is done on request from the individual. Generally, a Grunt must at least meet these standards:

Have held the rank of Grunt for at least 1 month
Have been a member of Coalition for at least 3 months
Have a firm understanding of how squad leading works
Have a firm understanding of tactics used in session(s)
Demonstrated ability to produce content
Consistent community interaction outside of sessions

Grunts may request a promotion here when they feel they meet the criteria above.

Soldier -> NCO

Soldier promotions to NCO are done on an as-needed basis. Headquarters will personally contact any Soldier who they feel would be a good fit as a Company NCO.
