Introduction

The Randoms Chain of Command and its structure has changed many times since it was first founded. Below is a history of the Randoms Structure and the varying Chain of Command.

First Founding

Upon its founding, The Randoms was a small group of just a few members. There was no distinct order and everyone did their own thing.

The Chain of command consisted of:

  • Commander
  • Colonel
  • Major
  • Captain
  • Lieutenant
  • Sergeant
  • Corporal
  • Private

Divisional Structure

After a few weeks, the Randoms divided into 4 Divisions based on abilities of members:

  • The IHB- Combat Wing of the group
  • The Randomedics- Revivers and healing experts
  • The Scouterandoms- Scouting team
  • The Engineerandoms- Cading and Powering squad.

Each Division had its own leader but the Chain of Command Remained unchanged.

Squad Structure

At the beginning of September 2006, the group was reordered into 5 Squads with mixed experience and skills.

  • Alpha Squad
  • Bravo Squad
  • Charlie Squad
  • Delta Squad
  • Echo Squad

Each Squad has a squad leader and the Chain of Command was altered slightly to increase the number of ranks available. The Rank of Squad Leader is currently equal to Captain, however a few members who are squad leader are above ths rank.

The new Chain of Command is:

  • Supreme Commander
  • Commander
  • General
  • Colonel
  • Major
  • Captain
  • Lieutenant
  • Sergeant Major
  • Sergeant
  • Corporal
  • Lance Corporal
  • Private 1st Class
  • Private

Revised Squad Structure

In March 2007, the squads were revised into four main squads and the new Training Squad, which already existed in part as the Buttonville Training Academy. Echo Squad was merged with Alpha Squad and several ranks were removed to make it easier to reach higher ranks.

The squads were as follows:

  • Alpha Squad
  • Bravo Squad
  • Charlie Squad
  • Delta Squad
  • Training Squad

The Rank Structure was as follows:

  • Supreme Commander
  • Commander
  • General
  • Colonel
  • Major
  • Captain
  • Lieutenant
  • Sergeant
  • Corporal
  • Private
  • Cadet

Revived Revised Squad Structure

In August 2007, due to a huge influx of members, the four main squads were split again, this time into six squads. The two new squads have taken up positions in Eastern Williamsville to the west of Buttonville. Also, two new ranks were added to the Chain of Command: Staff Sergeant, which replaces the old Sergeant Major rank from before March 2007 and Field Marshal, which is now the new rank of the Randoms current Commanding Officer. The old Supreme Commander rank, still exists but has no member filling that position at this time.

The Squads now stand as:

  • Alpha Squad
  • Bravo Squad
  • Charlie Squad
  • Delta Squad
  • Echo Squad
  • Foxtrot Squad
  • Training Squad

The New Rank Structure is now:

  • Field Marshal
  • Supreme Commander
  • Commander
  • General
  • Colonel
  • Major
  • Captain
  • Lieutenant
  • Staff Sergeant
  • Sergeant
  • Corporal
  • Private
  • Recruit - New members with the base skill set
  • Cadet - New members without the base skill set

Revived Revised Revised Squad Structure

In August 2009, almost exactly two years since the previous restructure, the Randoms abolished both the Squad and Rank systems in order to return to their more random roots. The Squads live on in the form of factions, of which there are currently two: The Cult of Delta and the Fascist Republic of Echotrot.
