The key services the Air Force Office (AFO) offers to the community are as follows:

1. Manage UOAF servers for community use.
2. Promote and moderate flight simulation events.
3. Organize fight simulation participation.
4. Manage training material on the UO wiki.

The AFO accomplishes its objectives through two delegate groups:

1. The Event Fragging Team, who create, promote and coordinate events and pickup flights.
2. The Instructor Pilots, who develop and host training sessions to improve the quality of our members.

Oversight, direction, guidance, and responsibility falls on the AFO officers: Gusy, DarkFib3r. Responsibilities include ensuring continuity of weekly flight simulation events, assisting with mission fragging and training as required, and ensuring the wiki is maintained. AFO officers also ensure participant conduct is in compliance with the UO Charter and relevant Community SOPs.

 

The backbone of UOAF is its roster members. These players represent the core values of UOAF and act as role models for our guests. They are expected to be flight commander capable, possess a high degree of competence in flight simulation, and maintain a good reputation and behavior.

DCS Frag Team

The DCS Frag Team is a UOAF delegate office consisting of an appointed leader and Frag Team members. The purpose of the DCS Frag Team is to generate content for UOAF DCS events in terms of mission generation and event management.

 

1. The DCS Frag Team leader is a UOAF member chosen by the AFO. His or her responsibilities include coordinating the efforts of the DCS Frag Team for DCS events and running DCS events. If unable to attend a DCS event, the DCS Frag Team leader will appoint a proxy in his or her place. If no proxy has been established at least 24 hours before an event, the AFO will choose a temporary replacement.
2. All DCS events will have an event leader in accordance with the DCS SOP’s. The default event leader will be the DCS Frag Team leader.
3. All DCS missions will be designed with a game master in mind. A game master can serve as a JTAC, REDFOR or BLUFOR commander, or both. This requirement can be waived if scripting will sufficiently replace the gameplay features of the game master. The authority for this waiver is vested in the AFO and DCS Frag Team leader.
4. A UOAF DCS mod pack will be established and maintained. The AFO will be the final authority figure for mods in the UOAF DCS mod pack. The DCS Frag Team leader will be familiar with the modpack and coordinate with mod contributors. Mods will strive to be simple and effective quality of life improvements for gameplay. Mods will be publicly accessible.
5. Missions will be developed to be scalable and will use a variety of aircraft, when able.
6. If required, players can re-land and rearm and refuel at a friendly airbase, as the mission dictates. Respawning is at event leader’s discretion.
7. Create event posts on the UOAF forums. Posts will include a map and a brief outline of plan and intent, at a minimum, and will follow the standard event post format.
