Team
Team and Squad Organisation
A typical Arma Reforger infantry squad often consists of 6–12 players, split into two or more fireteams plus a squad leader. In some server configurations, squads might be smaller. Regardless, the guiding principle remains: each group must have a designated leader and a clear chain of command.
Squad Leader (SL)
The central coordinator. Responsible for communicating with higher command, marking objectives, and directing squad movements.
Fireteam Leaders (FTLs)
Each leads a small group of riflemen, often including a mix of special roles: automatic rifleman, anti-tank soldier, medic, etc.
Riflemen
Form the bulk of the unit, providing flexible combat power. They deal with anything from scouting and frontal attacks to defensive perimeter setups
Buddy Teams
The smallest practical fighting element in Arma Reforger is the buddy team, consisting of two players who watch one another’s backs. This arrangement ensures that:
- No One Operates Alone - If one is taken out, the other can respond.
- Immediate Support - Buddies can provide security while the other reloads, or flank an enemy from two angles without losing cohesion
Your responsibilities to your buddy:
- Stay Nearby: Never stray too far, else you lose mutual support.
- Coordinate Movement: If your buddy moves to cover, remain in position to suppress threats. Then move yourself when they are ready to cover you in turn.
- Share Intel: If you see movement, confirm whether your buddy also sees it. Two sets of eyes are better than one.
Fireteam Coordination
Within the broader fireteam, buddy teams merge into a single coherent unit. Coordination points include:
- Sector Coverage: Each pair covers a specific arc, preventing gaps in observation.
- Bounding Overwatch: One buddy team moves forward whilst the other covers, then they switch. This technique significantly reduces the chance of being surprised.
- Rapid Reaction: If one buddy team comes under fire, the other immediately applies flanking or suppressive fire to relieve pressure.
