Exploration Standing Orders

* A standing order for all exploration teams: If they encounter an unknown group of people, they are to have 4 members of the team head back for Timpanogos and report it immediately. The others are to observe from a distance and try to stay hidden.

* A standing order for all exploration teams: BUG OUT fast if anything looks dangerous. If captured, do whatever possible to save their lives, except giving away vital information. Deception is acceptable.

Meeting New Groups

When encountering groups of people in the wasteland, first lay out an ambush position in case things become violent. 75% of the expedition is required to back up into ambush positions while the remaining 25% moves ahead in watches the group's activities in cover. If they are a known hostile force, the advance team will scout them out and if we appear to have an advantage, skirmish and retreat to the ambush site. Otherwise, retreat and leave a small scout group (4 men) to watch over them while the remainder retreats until more force can be gathered.

To make contact follow as listed. Send down one man to make contact,. Have the envoy inform the group that they represent a group interested in trade. Try and find out the lay of the land, where their nearest encampment is, and a bit about their ways of life, along with economical matters such as what they produce and have in excess of for possible dealings. If they seem relatively peaceful the leader of the expedition will come down from his hiding spot and broker a deal at a neutral location. Do not give out the locations of our settlements. Send 2 men to Timpanogos to deliver any gained information. If they are unwilling to divulge any information ask to be brought to their leader. 2 men will then tail the envoys to their settlement, make a note of it, and report directly to Timpanogos for further consideration. The rest of the exploration party will proceed as planned.

Never attack a group turned hostile that is stronger in terms of weaponry, armor, and men unless the environment is in our favor, such as plenty of trees and/or foliage for cover and raised surfaces. If attack is simply out of the question, hide in cover and wait for them to pass. Send 2 man team to report the enemy's movement to Timpanogos. Always try to attack from higher ground. Ranged attackers should make use of cover when not firing. Melee troops should wait behind ranged troopers until the enemy closes in, then attack. If at all possible, try to move ahead of the hostile group and attack from two sides.

Make extended use of hit and run attacks. Do not stay stationary if it can be helped. Keep attackers thinking about where the next attack will come from.

The following details how to respond to foreign expedition parties.

Tribals

If tribe is unknown:

When encountering tribals first lay low and observe them. If they speak an understandable dialect and show signs of being nonthreatening (no warm color [red, , black, or gray facial markings. No armor made from trophies of kills, unless they are animal kills, no human finger necklaces, skull knee-pads, etc. If they hold their weapons as if waiting for something, this could signify a war or hunting party, both are inclined to shoot you. No nonthreatening vehicles (not those that have human remains for decorations or violent artwork) follow standard contact procedure.

If tribe is friendly:

Announce presence and move in for a meet and greet. Find out any information on the surrounding area. If met at in the evening, request a joint camp for greater protection. Smoking is not tolerated, neither is drunkenness. Offenders of both are subject to disciplinary action upon returning home.

If tribe is hostile:

Follow the procedure from New Groups above.

Survivalists

Follow standard contact procedure.

Raiders

Watch the group as it passes by. If they make any remarks about killing the first thing they see do one if two things. If they are weaker than the expeditionary force in terms of equipment and men, kill them outright. Follow standard ambush procedure. Otherwise, bug out.

Slavers

Slavers are to be treated as raiders.

Other

If any abnormalities are experienced that the the expedition leader cannot handle, he will dispatch a standard 4 man team to report to Timpanogos for further instructions.


Settlements

When discovering any settlement, study the populace from a distance, give it a wide berth, and continue on the mission. Spend no more than a day studying. Inform Timpanogos in the standard way so a contact party can be organized.

Terrors

Do not engage under any circumstances unless it is already attacking another group of people and can be defeated by our involvement. Up to interpretation of expedition leader.

Everything listed is subject to revision at any moment.
