Hello...

I had originaly thought of calling the Law Enforcement Team the Emergency Services Team when i started working on it. Problem was that there was just to many specialist positions... so i have been working on others.
Well that's also a good idea. I didn't think of that. Having the fire and rescue specialists separate from the law enforcement specialists means that if you lose one, you wouldn't lose the other. Still, it would be damaging to a developing community if they lost one of the two - but it's better than losing both.

Public Engagement and Public Information is done by Civil Affairs teams.
That's true. Actually, after thinking about it, I did see some positions in the Civil Affairs teams during my readings involving public information, like the media. I just didn't think of it at the time...

If I were to make a suggestion, I would use the Law Enforcement teams as the Morrow Project's MPs (No pun intended... ), and the JAG as the judges, prosecutors, and advocates. However, I would place the JAG teams at a higher jurisdiction, such as divisional or regional, and the Law Enforcement teams at COG level.

That's true. Perhaps Coastal, River, and Maritime could be a sub-branch of the Transportation Branch, while still naming the teams Maritime teams. As to Aviation teams, you would probably have to do the same. Perhaps we can rename the divisions "districts" (If I remember correctly, Natehale1971 once named them districts, but changed them to divisions. But I'm not sure... ) rename the branches "divisions," and the subunits "branches?" This could become v0.5. But since if I recall correctly most of this is Natehale1971's work, I vote that he should decide, with our advisement.

When i get a chance, i'll post the positions i have for each of teh teams, and specialities that i haven't put into any team...
I agree to this. But consider in terms of military hierarchy. While the Morrow Project isn't exactly a military operation, take for example the emplacement of weapons within a military unit. For example, a rifle company would be emplaced with 60mm mortars to provide fire support. But if they needed better fire support, they would turn to battalion, with 81mm mortars. And if the 81mm mortars couldn't do the job, turn to brigade or division, with 105mm, 155mm, or MLRS weapons, and so on.



And that works not only with weapons, but with just about any capability of the military. Communications, engineering, medical, everything has a better version higher in the hiearchy. That kind of military reinforcement can apply to the Morrow Project, as if the teams themselves can't tell the weather with what they have, they can turn to Meteorological teams that specialize in it, to reinforce their weather prediction methods. That is my point of view.

Well you take care. I'll probably be available today, so I might post again. But of course in my life, anything goes, but I'll try my best. Take care.
