basic training
The purpose of Basic Training is, funnily enough, to ensure a base level of competence in infantry roles so that a new Guardsman can join a squad on operations and perform any of its constituent roles to a high standard. The bread and butter of a Guardsman's skillset.
JUNIOR TRADE TRAINING
Junior Trades are designed to give infantrymen their first opportunity to join the Specialist Pathway and perform more nuanced and interesting roles on operations.
SENIOR TRADE TRAINING
Senior Trades are the more complex, demanding, and disciplined versions of their Junior counterparts. Each is built directly upon its prerequisite: Corpsman follows Combat Medic, and Bombardier follows Sapper.
leadership training
Leadership Training unlocks, surprisingly, the Leadership Pathway and slowly builds a leader's ability to command higher and higher echelons of the Stygian Guard as they advance and gain valuable experience.
awards
The Awards system does not necessarily unlock rank and responsibility, but stands as a way for Headquarters to recognise extraordinary performance and effort, to be displayed proudly on member records. Think of it as the Stygian Guard office pizza party. Please don't unionise.
