    1.5 Duties of Individuals


    a. General - Every man of a fire team must know the duties of the other
    team members, and if needed fill in open positions.
    b. Rifleman - The rifleman is to execute the orders of the fireteam leader
    in movement and use of his weapon. The rifleman is also to act as a
    scout and report all enemy activity.
    c. Machine Gunner - The machine gunner is to provide a high volume of
    suppression fire at the team leader’s direction and provide cover for
    the fireteam to displace or maneuver against the enemy.
    d. Team Leader – The purpose of the team leader is to follow the Squad
    Leader’s orders to accomplish the specified objectives. The team
    leader is to command his fireteam instructing in methods of movement
    and fire to eliminate the enemy and accomplish the objective. In
    carrying out the orders of the squad leader, he takes a position to best
    observe and control the fire team. Normally, he is close enough to the
    machine gunner to exercise effective control of his fires.
    e. Squad Leader – The squad leader is in charge of guiding the squad to
    the objective and eliminating the enemy. For purposes of the game,
    the squad leader has almost identical duties as the fireteam leader
    aside from the COC.
    f. Sniper – The Sniper is probably the most valuable asset at a team
    leader’s disposal. The sniper is to provide accurate long range fire to
    cover the mother unit (team attached to) in their advance, retreat, and
    completion of the objective or if absolutely necessary emplaced to
    defend a key area or objective. The sniper receives orders from the
    team leader of the mother unit when coverage is needed. The sniper

    5
    takes charge of the sniper team in deployment and engagement
    strategies.
    g. Spotter – The purpose of the spotter is to escort the sniper, locate and
    announce target locations, provide sitreps to the sniper, and provide
    hide security. The spotter solely reports to the sniper and is never
    more than 10 feet from the sniper unless lack of concealment/cover is
    present. The success to a great sniper team and ultimately the squad,
    is the spotter.
