| How it Works and Why: (This is the part about the unfairness.) All the �Reserve Troop� ranks have been eliminated leaving only 8 ranks on each sub-team. However, the maximum of people is still 10 per sub-team. The big change that I made is that now, any Commander can put more than one person per rank in all the ranks except for the rank of �Commander�. In other words, in a filled (10 person team) there will be only one Commander per sub-team, but there could be 2 or 3 (please try to keep it at 3 people per rank maximum for the higher rankings, though) people with the rank of �Colonel�, and 0 people with Sergeant, Corporal, and Private. The purpose of the rankings is to add to the overall RPGing experience by keeping the RPG team as close to what a group or organization in real life would be like. Now with the modified system, every member of D-X has an equal chance of obtaining a high ranking based on work and participation in the RPG. This also takes some pressure off of the Commanders since they no longer need to choose between 2 team members who are equally qualified for the same rank. |

| Promotions & Demotions The promotion and demotion policy has not changed. Every Commander is in charge of promotions and demotions for their own team; it is up to them to set the guidelines. I will interfere with this only if a Commander has disappeared for over a couple of months without an e-mailed or posted explanation. (I know that it will never come to this since I know that all Commanders are responsible people.) |
| Order of Command for Combat Teams: Commander Colonel Major Captain Lieutenant Sergeant Corporal Private I restructured the rankings so that they resemble real army ranks. I decided to keep �Commander� as the rank of the team leader, even though it is a Navy rank. I also took out both of the �Reserve Troop� ranks. Note that these rankings only apply to the Alpha Team, Bravo Team, Echo Team, and Omega Team. |
| Order of Command For Operation Teams: (Covert Operations and Special Forces: ) Commander Captain Colonel Major Lieutenant Sergeant Corporal Private Since ops teams members are supposed to be from all branches of service, I threw some Navy ranks into the Army/Air Force rankings. The �Commander� and �Captain� ranks are both Navy but in reverse order (in the real US Navy, �Captain� is a higher rank than �Commander�) because I didn�t want any confusion concerning the leadership of the teams since there is a �Captain� rank in both the Army and Navy. In D-X, �Commander� is a higher rank than �Captain�. Both �Reserve Troop� ranks have also been taken out. |
| Demolitions Team: Commander Colonel Major Captain Lieutenant Sergeant Corporal Private Since Demolitions is mostly an Army function, I decided to keep the rankings the same as with the Combat Teams. The �Reserve Troop� rank is also gone. |
| Marines: Commander Captain Colonel Lieutenant Commander Major Lieutenant Ensign Sergeant Since this sub-team is based on the Navy SEALS, I combined Air Force and Navy rankings. This is a pretty accurate combination (except the �Commander� and �Captain� switch) of the ranks in both services. As with all the other sub-teams I took out both �Reserve Troop� ranks. |
