Divisional Structure

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

We favor roles that our members can fulfill. We have a very loose divisional structure that doesn’t carry any real weight other than identifying their respective positions. There are various disciplines that you may be able to fulfill in our organization and not all will be labeled completely on RSI because right now CIG hasn’t added enough. As such… some of these divisions will have multi-disciplines.

Now it is possible to be in various divisions in our organization but you will have to choose a main and train well for it. Although if you are a jack of all trades… you can always just dabble in every single division – as long as you declare your main.

Our divisions of the organization are as follows:

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Command Operations

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Officers

Those in charge of various divisions and responsibilities of the organization.

Recruiters

Those in charge of recruitment, overseen by the recruitment director.
