POSITIONS
The position is the heart and core of the Hammer's Fist as
it is with all Emperor's Hammer subgroups. Although rank is important, position
is what takes precedence. A Detachment Leader who is a Sergeant will always be
higher in the chain of command than a Fire Team Leader who is a Gunnery
Sergeant, even though GSG is a higher rank than SGT.
Below each position description lists it's minimum and
maximum ranks as well as it's tour of duty requirement (for leadership
positions). A tour of duty is the minimum amount of time a member must spend in
their position. Failure to complete the tour of duty results in the member being
returned to the rank he/she held before assuming the position. As they are not
listed on this page, the tour of duties for any Special Operations Command
member is 6 months.
