✹ The Sergeant is the leader of the Squad and serves as the first line of command within the Kingsmen. A Sergeant is charged with the discipline, training, and daily conduct of three to five sworn Kingsmen who make up the Squad. It is the duty of the Sergeant to see that orders are carried out promptly, to guide the efforts of the Squad in battle and in camp, and to maintain an accurate account of the Squad’s readiness, equipment, and needs. The Sergeant reports directly to the Lieutenant and ensures that the will of higher command is understood and executed at the smallest unit of the host. ✹
Out of character, the Sergeant’s job is simple: take care of your squad. You are the primary point of contact for your three to five assigned players, and your main responsibility is making sure they have what they need to participate, enjoy the event, and stay safe.
A Sergeant should keep an eye on the basics. Make sure your squad members are wearing their kit properly, have eaten, are drinking enough water, have warm clothing and bedding, and know where they’re supposed to be. If anyone in your squad is missing gear, struggling with something, or needs help, you should either address it yourself or report it to your Lieutenant right away.
You are not expected to babysit people or track them every minute of the event, but you are expected to stay in regular contact with them so you always have a general idea of where they are and how they’re doing. During battles, you should account for your squad before and after the fight. During downtime, you should make sure they know the schedule, where to go next, and what’s happening in the game.
Sergeants should also help their squad engage with the game. If someone seems lost or unsure, guide them. If they’re new, help them get oriented. During meals, the expectation is simple: make sure your squad has gotten food before you get in line yourself. In short, the Sergeant takes responsibility for the well-being, experience, and overall readiness of their squad.
