📋 Pre-Deployment Checklist
Before any mission, every operative is responsible for ensuring they’re fully prepared — physically, tactically, and technically. This checklist helps reduce last-minute confusion, gear issues, and comms failures that could compromise the mission.
This checklist follows the Shoot → Move → Communicate logic and is tailored to each supported game. Use it as a mental run-through or fireteam-wide verification step before stepping off.
💡 How to Use This
- Review the checklist relevant to your game in the tabs below
- Confirm all items based on your assigned combat role
- Adjust as needed for mission-specific instructions
- Use buddy checks: your teammate’s gear is your concern too
🔗 Loadout details and platform-specific gear rules are defined in the Equipment Regulations section
🎖️ Role expectations and responsibilities are defined in the Combat Roles SOP
Arma Reforger
Note: This checklist reflects standard SPECTRE loadouts in Arma Reforger. Always adapt based on mission parameters and game version (modded or official). See Equipment Regulations → Arma Reforger for full details.
SHOOT
- Primary and secondary weapon
- Suppressor attached only if mission-approved
- Grenades and smoke packed
- Medical supplies packed: minimum of 2 bandages, 1 morphine, 2 tourniquets
- If assigned demo/AT role: verify launcher or charges and confirm ammo count
MOVE
- Uniform and gear match unit SOP
- Map, compass, and flashlight packed
- Vehicle roles confirmed: driver, vehicle commander (VC), passengers
- Vehicles fueled and loaded with mission-appropriate equipment (ammo, AT, demo)
- Seating assignments clear — maintain fireteam integrity when possible
- Rally points, hold points, and backup routes reviewed during staging
- Critical gear distributed across vehicles to prevent single-point loss
COMMUNICATE
- Assign callsigns for the teams/sections
- AN-PRC/68 radio equipped and net assigned based on section/platoon role
- Team Leads carry PRC-77 for long-range comms or confirm a vehicle has one
- Radio check completed before staging ends
- VCs assigned for all vehicles and monitoring Platoon Net
- Brief and confirm fallback signals: hand signs, light pulses, horn taps (if available)
- Review callouts for breakdowns, halts, threats, reroutes — keep it short and clear
- Know what to do if comms fail: regroup point, visual tracking rules, slow-to-visual pace

🧠 General Notes
- Role awareness is key: each checklist assumes you’ve confirmed your assignment (e.g., Rifleman, AR, Medic).
- Cross-check your buddy: make sure your team is squared away, not just yourself.
- Vehicle readiness is shared responsibility: fuel, ammo, repair, and seating all matter.
- Practice comms before combat: it’s too late to test mics when bullets fly.
