MFU Command

From The Urban Dead Wiki

The Malton Forensics Unit has a structured chain of command. This hierarchical organization is designed for efficiency and clarity. Department personnel are spread out throughout the city, and our greatest strengths are our organizational abilities and dedication to helping each other, as well as the citizens of Malton! As such, although all department personnel are expected to work within the chain of command and follow the guidelines and policies put forth by their superiors, they are also strongly encouraged to communicate and work with each other to meet local needs to the best of their abilities. MFU officers are also encouraged to communicate and work with any local organizations whose goals are congruent with department policy - saving the lives of survivors and protecting property, particularly those resources needed for survival.

[edit] Department Organization

The Chief of Forensics is in charge of all MFU operations throughout Malton. The city is divided up in a grid-work pattern of suburbs, organized into four quadrants known as Divisions. Each Division is broken up into 5 Districts, which consist of 5 suburb blocks (see diagrams below). Within each of these Districts, a Head Coroner is appointed to relay orders to lower ranking officers. Each District is comprised of 5 Suburbs, each of which is presided over by a Coroner. Toxicologists and Lab Technicians are under a Coroner's authority.

In summary, the chain of command is:

It is also important to note that Toxicologists and Lab Technicians are both of equal rank. Toxicologists have seniority and different duties, but under ordinary conditions neither of these ranks issue orders to the other.

[edit] Merits and Ribbons

The Department of Emergency Management has a series of DEM Merits and Ribbons it issues to members who display mastery over key skills. The ribbons can be claimed by any officer with the profficiency of the skills entailed. Summary of these ribbons and the means to claim them can be found on the DEM Merits and Ribbons page.

In addition to the DEM ribbons above, the MCDU also awards these ribbons to their personnel only.

[edit] Active Areas

[edit] Suburbs

In suburbs where there are active MFU personnel and at least one officer, that suburbs wiki page should be updated to note that the MFU is an active group there. Add this code to the 'Active Groups' part of the suburb description template:

[edit] NecroTech Buildings

NecroTech Buildings that are actively manned by MFU personnel should have such indicated on that Building's wiki page. If the page does not exist you should create it. Here is an example for a NecroTech Building used as a suburbs MFU 'HQ', which just needs to be edited with the correct names:

'''NecroTech Building Name''' is the [[Malton Forensics Unit]] headquarters for [[Suburb Name]], 
and primary base of operations for [[MFU Command#<which division?>_Division|District NW-4]]. All
[[Scientists#Scientists|Scientists]] are requested to report in to [[MFU Command]] on the 
[http://s14.invisionfree.com/Brainstock/index.php?showforum=20 forum] as soon as possible.

Please '''do not''' over barricade this building! It should be maintained as an accessible safe
house and [[free running]] [[entryway]], and as such the [[barricades]] should be maintained at
Very Strongly (VS+2). See the [[Uniform Barricading Policy]] for more details.

[[Category:Necrotech Buildings]]

The above is just a basic template and needs to be edited as appropriate for the specific NecroTech building. If you create the page you should also find its coordinates referenced in the Necrotech Buildings category; click on the location (should be red if the page doesn't exist) and create a redirect to the building's wiki page (with the name as the title) by adding:

#redirect [[NecroTech Building Name]]

as the only text for the page. If the coordinate page already exists, than edit it in an appropriate and polite way to indicate the MFU's presence in and use of the building.

[edit] MFU Line Personnel

1. Career MFU Scientists

      1. They should remain within their assigned Division, District or Suburb, while on duty.
      2. They should notify their command if they must leave their assigned Division, District or Suburb.
      3. They may be given temporary orders to perform duties in other Divisions, Regions or Suburbs.

   2. All members of MFU are authorized to use DEM Forum for communications.
   3. Officers are required to monitor official Communication Channels for Alarms and SitReps relevant to their command.
2. Additional Communications Channels may be opened as needed

[edit] Missing Personnel and Field Promotion

1. Due to the nature of the outbreak, it is likely that there will be occasions when an opening in the command structure occurs due to personnel being isolated, or infected. This guideline addresses that circumstance
   1. If an officer does not report in for over 72 hours, the first personnel to notice the loss of contact should activate an all points look out for the missing personnel.
   2. If the missing person does not report in, and is not located in 48 hours after the look out alert, they will be assumed infected, dead, or undead. The procedure for a known casualty will apply.
2. If an officer is know to be infected, dead, or undead, the duties of his command immediately pass to the highest ranking subordinate officer
   1. An officer Superior to the missing officer may choose to make this a temporary assignment or permanent
   2. An all points alert will be broadcast. Any information on the missing persons last known whereabouts will be included.
      1. If the person is found and infected, dead or undead, appropriate treatmeant will be given as outlined under Firstaid and Revivification Guidelines
      2. When an missing officer is found, and/or revived, they may, at their discretion,reclaim their previous rank and title, if they still hold greater qualifications than the person acting in the position.
      3. If the acting officer now has more qualifications than the revived officer, the acting officer has the option to step down, but may only be asked to do so by a superior officer.
   3. If the person is found and not infected, dead or undead, their status will be broadcast.
      1. Failure to monitor communications, failure to report in, and creating an unnecessary alert are all detrimental to the MFU's objectives, and a member who is found missing without cause may be subject to demotion, at the discretion of their superior officers.

[edit] Tactical Operations, Suburbs

1. MFU personnel should coordinate operations in an area with other DEM branches present in that suburb.
2. Resource buildings, particularly NecroTech Buildings of course, should be actively maintained and defended. See the Uniform Barricading Policy for general guidelines.
   1. Barricades should be maintained at VS+2, unless otherwise specified by the local barricade plan or as a tactical decision decided on in the forums.
   2. Survivors should be encouraged not to sleep in resource buildings. This is particularly true of those who possess the free running skill. Explain to them it is not safe and their well-being can not be guaranteed. Let them know of nearby alternate VS+2 designated structures. A dispersed population is less vulnerable to concentrated incursions by organized zombie hordes.
   3. Do not risk undeath on hopeless causes! If there are more zombies on a building than available personnel can actively defend, warn the occupants that the building is to be abandoned and (re)barricade one last time. After that, concentrate on bolstering barricades on nearby buildings not under attack to allow for a safe retreat. Make sure there are enough entryway buildings for non-free running survivors to fall back to.
3. Divide labor effectively for long-term growth. Unless barricading is an immediate emergency, lower-level personnel should focus on healing, revivification and thinning the zeds (and thereby earning XP!).
4. If a suburb has more than 2-3 DEM personnel, command officers should coordinate skills training of lower level members so everyone isn't getting the same skill at the same time. Separate skill trees, such as NT training; first aid and diagnosis; construction and tagging; combat skills and body-building; etc should be spread out among personnel, so tasks can be delegated more effectively. All Lab Technicians should have Free Running by 3rd level, and should focus primarily on training until 3rd or 4th.
