Preparing and Resupplying the Dropships

Medical Assistance in the FOB
If you are tired of printing ammunitions you can give medical support in the FOB. You can do it by getting a defibrillator and a M276 pattern lifesaver bag and look around the FOB for any injured marines, Just make sure you get back to the dropship in time!
Note: You may not leave the FOB nor are you a combat role, While at the FOB you should only use your personal firearm for self defense and if the situation escalates you should go back to the dropship.'
Maintaining Order in the Dropship
Another job of yours is making sure the order is kept inside the dropship, Watch out for any marines harming the dropship or other marines and treat them appropriately, Note your rank is SSGT. and so you outrank all squad roles except the Squad Leader.
