INFORMATION - FAQ
Q: What is a Public Action?
A public action is a small public event hosted by the unit open to all comers including public visitors. Public Actions are conducted on the same mission the Public Server is already running, and missions are planned on-the-fly by the signed up event leader as the event begins. By organizing, kitting out, and operating in the way the 15th MEU actually does in operations, these events provide the public with an opportunity to see our skills and participate in organized combat activity.
Q: What do you mean "organizing", can't I just grab a rifle and go?
Public actions showcase the coordination, tactics, and skills of the unit. We ask that everyone participating fills a required role as directed by the event leader, and operates with their group the same way our e-Marines do.
Q: But I always play as US Army and carry a sniper rifle and Javelin, can't I do that?
Public actions also show the cooperation and power of a properly equipped Marine unit. We ask that everyone participating uses the weapons and gear that would be used by the role they are filling. After the event is done, you can load out to your heart's content.
Q: What's the plan, do we know ahead of time?
No pre-plan is done for Public Actions, as they continue with the tasks of the current Public Server mission. As everyone loads in, the event leader comes up with a plan, briefs the group, and puts it in motion.
Q: Won't this bog down the server?
Public actions begin with the mission being refreshed on the server, and end with either a refresh or (when able) a hard server restart. After it's done, everything is fresh and clear.
