Logistics Specialist

Repair, Rearm, and Resupply (R3)

AKA, REEEE THREE, the Three REEEEEEEEE’s, and that thing Medics beg for.

Supply chains are critical in a war, and can be critical even in our operations. An Engineer with R3 tasking will likely need a toolkit and the relevant ACE vehicles to execute their tasks. R3 tasked Engineers may also be handling other aspects of ground logistics like moving heavy equipment around or handling group reinserts. R3 tasked Engineers are likely to interface with heavy equipment teams such as Armor and Artillery teams, and in special cases Air elements.

Fortifications

Pillow or otherwise.

An Engineer tasked with building Fortifications must be equipped with an Entrenching tool and a Fortify tool. The Engineer must understand where, when, and why the player force is embedding in a given location, and what assets will be embedded there, as well as gameplay and meta restrictions.

Curriculum

The following tasks or discussions will be performed by and with the Engineer trainee before the Certification Test as a way to familiarize the trainee with the concepts and equipment required to be an effective Engineer:

Certification Tests

The Certification Tests have been designed to test all aspects of an Engineer’s sub-certification to a degree relevant to most Operations the Engineer could be utilized in. The Instructor is not allowed to give advice during the tests, only raw information.
