ORBAT Rank Restrictions

At a global level, an ORBAT can be set to have both a minimum and maximum rank. All ORBATs by default have a minimum rank of Recruit. The only exception to this is the Recruit intake itself, which has a minimum rank of Candidate. This is a rarely exercised mechanic due to the Tier system, but it is possible for Operations Command to set a minimum or maximum rank on a deployment. Typically this is used during officer meetings to prevent Officers from deploying to an ORBAT which clashes in the schedule.

For practice ORBATs some rank restrictions may apply:

• FTX Candidates, where the only rank eligible is Candidate (CDT)
• FTX Recruits, where the only rank eligible is Recruit (Rec)
• FTX Regulars, where the eligible rank must exceed Private (Pvt) with no maximum
• FTX NCOs, where the eligible rank must exceed Corporal (Cpl) with no maximum
