N/A - Metarushing (unfit for CO)

[FelixG]

Oh about bringing Alpha - that's just a lie. I wanted to brig TC's for literally Disrespect to CO(me) and Insubordination.

After reading the logs, I am going to turn this over to the council. As I feel that at the most ordering an elite squad of all SPECS and SMARTGUNNERS puts the other squads at a disadvantage.

You can do Echo Squad by picking robust marines and giving them HPRs, explosive equipment, etc...

But I think making all the SGs and Specs in one squad screws the other squads. However I don't want to make a major decision without council input.

Roger that.
But I'm still a bit confused by the nature of a report. TC who made this report got upset about not being able to be in the combat asap. Gave false info(about alpha arest). Yet somehow this report is about metarush.
From my perspective it does look like personal feelings were involved. Anyhow this is not really relevant as I don't have authority in that matter, it's just a side note.
Regarding other squads getting into disadvantage. As I recall they received orders to sit behind barricades (except charlie). But yes I can see how it puts them at disadvantage outside of the FOB.

Since I was around for that round and it was a total cluster@#&$ I might as well give my input/clarifications/dispute a couple of things.

[FelixG]

Right.
I gave order for Charlie to Push North from central ring to support Alpha after power was done and lock-down removed. I looked at the map and saw opportunity to support Alpha. At that time Charlie were at south-west part of central ring. And basically it was not push, you were supposed to flank enemy at chapel to safe at least some portion of Alpha. At that time Alpha was retreating.
Now Regarding Drop mess. Correct there was a mistake with drop. PO dropped early with tank just a tank for some reason, BUT it was clearly stated what squad should drop where via announcement system. I made Multiple announcement to clarify what's where.
I literally spammed "FOB AT LZ2" message via tablet too. No idea how that can be confusing.
Now regarding LZ2 is not fit for tank - somehow during other rounds people managed to remove literally if I'm not mistaken -3 window frames to get to research canteen, 2 window frames to get to reception, 2 walls to get to Chapel, 2 wall's to get into that checkpoint south of chapel. Yet tank decided to just redeploy on LZ1. Weird decision, because with lock-down still active it's just a waste of time.
I'm 100% sure that I did not ordered to arrest entire Alpha (frankly I don't remember ordering arrest of ANY ALPHA). I hope you understand that sometime's CO's use that Do X or face INSUB to make squads actually listen to you. Now I did order arrest of TC who is again Disrespected CO (me) and just Neglected simple order, because he wanted to shot xeno ASAP.

Ok so I've reviewed the logs, and spoke with CO council.

We've come to the agreement this was more of a SOP violation cause by taking squads specialists and SG people, you put those doing other duties at a disadvantage. However it was also agreed that an aCO could have done the same thing.

Do I think this was a metarush, from what everyone is saying it doesn't seem like you did not do a overt "hey guys go rush west part of station."

The only thing I see here thats wrong was a violation of SOP by causing a disadvantage to your men.

I'm gonna issue a "warning" here to you, but since I'm setting a precedent, I'm going to withhold a note. This is also for anyone reading this.

You can create Echo squad, but you can't add specialists/smartgunners, and you cannot especially make a entire squad of SG/Specs.
