A question I have: How do you call in an orbital strike when it becomes available. I see the notices pop up, but there is no direction on how to launch. |

Found the below in the manual, which might help those who are squad leaders or care to be:

SQUAD MANAGEMENT
Once you are in the War Room you can access the squad management menu by pressing the START button or via the NeoCom under the Social tab and activate the CHAT option. From here, you can select available squads to join by highlighting the TEAM tab and then your character. Press the X button to bring up additional menu options such as joining another squad or to create a new squad.
Highlight the SQUAD tab to bring up additional menu options in order to manage your squad. From here, you can select a new squad leader, view additional info on a squad member, add other players to your contact list, or block another player.
Once you are in battle you can also activate the squad command menu if you are the squad leader. To access the squad command menu, press the R2 button to bring up the weapon switch window. Use the left analogue stick to select the squad menu icon to bring up the squad command menu. From the squad command menu you can give attack, defend, or rally orders to your squad by selecting the objective you wish to move your squad to. |

This means that they must know how to analyze the situation quickly and make decisions rapidly in light of the commander's intent. They must be prepared to take independent action if necessary. The art of making sound decisions quickly lies in the knowledge of tactics, the estimate process, and platoon and squad techniques and procedures. The skills required of infantry leaders include physical toughness, technical knowledge, mental agility, and a firm grasp of how to motivate soldiers to fight on in the face of adversity.
I would agree to the above, but first and foremost is the knowledge of what buttons to push and the communication of what squad you are in/who is the leader. Part of this could be accomplished in the initial spawn screen after you make your drop selection.
Edit: It would also be nice to spawn on your leader. Otherwise, you may find yourself dropping into the middle of a sh*t storm with no time to check your squad posting. |
