"I can't promise you that I will bring you all home alive. But this I swear, before you and before Almighty God, that when we go into battle, I will be the first to set foot on the field, and I will be the last to step off, and I will leave no one behind. Dead or alive, we will all come home together. So help me, God."- Lt. Col. Hal Moore

Radiokommunikation Ledande roller kommer inte ha tillgång till någon radioapparat utan en signalist finns i varje grupp. Det finns heller inte några kortvågsradios inom grupperna. Ni får använda er av utrusnting som varje soldat har. Klocka, kompass, ett par öron samt ögon. Signalist / RTO Krav för de som spelar signalister kommer vara främst radiodiciplin. Ta inte denna roll om du känner dig obekväm med radiosnack. Piloter Ni kommer att flyga helikoptern med benämning UH-1D från CUP. Har ni tid föreslår jag att ni tränar med denna helikopter under dagarna innan spelet. Ett flertalet krav hänger också på piloternas axlar. Ni skall kunna landa och landsätta styrkor inom trånga utrymmen. Samt att ni skall kunna lyfta tyngre föremål under helikoptern och veta hur de påverka ens förmåga. 1 / 3 av de helikoptrarna ni har kommer också att vara Gunship varianten så ni skall kunna kommunicerna och genomföra CAS uppdrag.
