Flares

In times of battle, marking areas is quite important. That is why we use these flares, to provide maximum safety for our soldiers.

Evacuation Flares
Every single soldier comes equipped with one of these. If they manage to get themselves in danger, it's one of their only ways to survive if cornered by multiple enemies.

Tool Description
When a soldier lights an Evacuation Flare, an Evacuation squad is deployed as fast as possible to evacuate the trapped soldier. Due to the flare reaching quite high, it can be spotted from a large distance, making finding soldiers in need very easy.

When an Evacuation squad is underneath the Evacuation Flare, They will wait 30 seconds to 1 minute, before leaving, so they will not risk their own lives any further.

Flare color: Red

Regrouping Flares
Squad leaders come equipped with these. If the squad manages to get split up, this is the way to regroup.

Tool Description
When a squad member get's separated from his or her squad, they wait until they see the signal flare, so they can return to their squad mates.

In the case that a squad has to leave the flare-zone, but the missing member returns, the single soldier will wait until the squad returns. If the squad is dead, the last surviving member will throw an Evacuation Flare and wait for rescue.

Flare color: Blue

Position Flares
HRO's come equipped with these. If enemies are spotted by a spotter, but a squad has not seen them yet, these can be used. They can also be used for squad movement.

Tool Description
The tool is used to show squads where to go. It is most commonly dropped from aircrafts, but it can be dropped from regular vehicles. It is rarely dropped by infantry as the drop zone is most likely occupied. Sometimes, vehicles speed trough it and drop the flare, but that doesn't happen a lot either. When a squad close to the position of the flare sees it, they'll rush over there and kill every enemy they see. Shall they get separated, they use the Regrouping Flare after combat. If they are in need of help, because, for example, a lot of their squad members are dead, or on low health, they use the Evacuation Flare.

Flare color: Green
