I have no problem with the way combines are currently structured but as stated many times before I am a role player so I see things differently.

If I were to create a combine I would want it to be this way;

C.E.O.- The Director of the combine, everything that happens in the combine goes through the C.E.O. at one point or another. He is in charge of all major actions within the combine.

Executive Officers- They serve as the council to the C.E.O. They assist in managing the combine by giving the C.E.O. advice from a neutral point of view and provide support. Each member of the Council must agree before any major action is executed.

Brigadier Generals- They are the generals of the combine. They each command their own section of the combine.(Offense, Defense, recon, diplomacy, intelligence{any other faction deemed necessary}) They have select factions under their control and each faction works separately.(I.E. those who serve under the Chief of Offense will conduct offensive actions only on the behalf of the combine.) Any action executed will be made known to the C.E.O. by the respective general.

Tier 3 Specialists- They are the highest ranking officers in any faction. They command smaller teams of lower level commanders and answer directly to their respective general. No action will be taken unless authorized by the respective general and every mission report will be made known to the respective general in detail.

Envoy- This is a specialized squad which serves under diplomacy. Their goal is to transfer transmissions from the combine to other combines or independent players and vice versa. They will be accurate, smart and quick-witted being able to deescalate situations quickly. They answer to Their respective general although they are under command of a select Tier 3 Specialist. They also assist in negotiating.

Tier 2 Specialist- They are The respective Tier 3 Specialists' Second in Command. They assist in managing the squad.

Agent- These are Squad members that have proven themselves worthy and gained the respect of their fellow squad members.

Tier 1 Specialist- These are squad members that execute the commands of their respective Squad leader(s).

Soldier- these are the undecorated members of the combine.

Recruit- These are soldiers who haven't chosen a faction to join as yet or haven't been chosen by a squad leader.. They help out in anyway they can.

Trainee- These are combine members who are new to the combine.
