The Rebel Squadrons Bylaws
Section 3 - Fleet Structure
3.1 Unit Design
The Rebel Squadrons is a federation of Fleets, each of which has its own policies, regulations, and administrative structures. No Fleet, however, shall act in a manner contradicting established Rebel Squadrons policy.
Each Fleet shall minimally consist of four Squadrons, or the equivalent. These Squadrons may be split into Wings at the discretion of the Fleet Commanding Officer.
Exceptions to this rule may apply with the agreement of the Fleet Commanding Officer and the Fleet Commander.
3.2 Fleet Status
All gaming platforms, or other groups in the RS, will begin as divisions of Redemption Fleet, unless the FC and RF CO together agree to cede the gaming platform to a different Fleet (certain sections which are not capable of Fleet status may be instituted as Executive Offices under the command of the FC).
At the time they are considered ready for Fleet status, the RF CO will bring the division before HC and they will establish or deny Fleet status by a simple majority vote.
3.3 Command Limitations
All officers of the RS are limited to one command position (CO of any unit), one support position (XO or any position of responsibility of any unit), and unlimited general membership positions. If all Fleet CO's involved agree, these limits may be waived.
3.4 Fleet Command
Each Fleet shall have a Commanding Officer (Fleet CO) who is appointed by the FC, and serves as a voting member of HC.
