About CyberArmy

There are several important positions within a Brigade: C/O, X/O, Member, and Honorary Member. You can find most of them named in users signatures when browsing The Forums. We will attempt to summarize the basic roles of, and requirements for, the different positions in the following pages. However, this should be understood as a guideline, not a definition. The role and requirements for each single position within the CyberArmy Brigade System may be slightly different:

Commanding Officer

Abbreviated as C/O, the C/O of any group is, as the name already implies, the group leader. He or she is responsible for completing the tasks the group is faced with. How he or she does this is, in the majority of instances, left up to them with guidance from their own C/O. A C/O can recruit members to join his/her group, appoint a member to be the X/O, and create new subgroups.

The position of C/O is considered to be very powerful without requiring much work, as this can be delegated to the group members, by many new members of the CyberArmy. This is however not true, as a C/O is required to do a lot of coordination work as well as most of a groups recruitment (which can be very time consuming). A C/O is responsible for setting clear goals, which his members can achieve in a reasonable amount of time, personally caring for the problems of each of his members, informing his C/O about the progress of his group, collecting evidence for promotion requests, and requesting promotions. He or she has to show very good communication skills and the skills to solve problems in a fair and unbiased way.

In short, he or she is responsible for everything the group does or fails to do.
