So we have two sub-squads for ESTSOF.

Alpha Squad: Direct Assault Team [DAT] specializing in breaching, direct engagement and explosives.
Xray Squad: Stealth Engagement Team [SET] specializing in knife usage, silenced weaponry, sniping and quiet movement.

How to get into one of those squads?
Usually you aren't permanently to set to a different squad. Your name will be remembered along with your specialty, and in briefing you will be set to a proper squad. For example: Carpo: Right, Sneaks and Tim, assemble SET, prepare for hostage extraction. Rick and Tom assemble DAT, once hostage is extracted, you move in and neutralize all threats.

Please keep this in mind during recruitment

Regular operators
1. Recruitment is not allowed for non-high ranks (group moderators or administrators)
2. You may not invite people to this group cause they're friends.
3. If you get invited to this group from a non-administrator, non-moderator, do not accept the invite as it may get you banned from the squad.

High-Ranks (Administrators and Moderators)
1. Pre-recruitment phase requires you to test the operator's ability to stay tactical, use proper methods of communication and be able to shoot properly at given targets, in training areas.
2. You must warn/ban operators who aren't high ranks from the squad in-case they invite people to the group.
3. Keep in mind that we can not under any circumstance accept trolling/misbehaviour.
