Sanctioned Operations

A sanctioned operation is any undertaking that is, explicitly approved, or inherently approved by the Sanguine Council of The Order of the BloodBrothers, or under the direct authority of Grand Marshal VoidLock GraveHeart.
For everything not covered by sanctioned operations, see Personal Engagement (below).
These rules of engagement for sanctioned operations are not to be taken as a free pass to kill the innocent. Remember our ultimate goal of keeping the free people of Tremen & beyond FREE.
That being said, any sanctioned operation in motion is to be protected at all costs. For example, this may be a simple recourse harvesting run, or the protection and escort of a VIP. Anything may become a sanctioned operation so long as it has the explicit blessing, or inherit blessing of the Sanguine Council of The Order of the BloodBrothers, or under direct authority of Grand Marshal VoidLock GraveHeart.

The highest ranking member is considered to be the operation commander, unless otherwise stated.
Several of the higher ranks may undertake operations together, BUT the operation commander is responsible for the safety and success of the mission & will make all judgment calls.

S1: You CAN defend yourself! You do NOT need to wait to be attacked in order to defend yourself, your contingent, or the operation.
S1.1: If you feel as though you, your contingent, or the operation are in danger, you MAY engage ASAP to thwart ANY & ALL threats.
S1.2: You MAY stand your ground. If you, your contingent, or the operation are threatened, you have NO obligation to retreat whatsoever.

S2: Avoid ANY & ALL unnecessary engagements. This does NOT mean you disregard edicts S1-S1.2.

S3: EVERY member acting outside of these edicts WILL be held accountable for their actions.

S4: ALL judgment calls WILL be made by the operation commander. They MAY council with the other ranks of the operation, BUT the final decision is theirs.
S4.1: ALL members of the contingent are expected to follow the orders of the operation commander.

Above all else, remain true to our cause and purpose in this world.
