Learner Slots

A learner slot is a unique ORBAT slot for legacy combat areas which allows an individual who has not yet been able to gain any combat experience in a combat area to do so. It allows individuals to get their first step on the ladder allowing them to access the up-tiering systems for a combat area. It does this by only allowing someone who has practice experience by no combat in experience in a specific combat area to slot without needing the usual Tier requirement. Learner slots function as follows;

• One Learner slot is permitted per 20 slots on the ORBAT
• Learner slots can only be applied to Tier I roles
• Only someone who is Tier-0 in the area, can use the Learner Slot
• The Field Leader may choose to change any of the Tier I slots to a Learner slot at their discretion.
• To use 'L' Plate slots, you cannot have had Reprimands in the last 7 days, or any active PCFs in this Combat Area.
• If the learner slot is not claimed 24 hours after the release of an ORBAT, it will automatically become a normal slot

How to assign a Learner Slot: From the ORBAT editor, roles eligible for conversion will be shown with a blue cap icon. Should the slot not be claimed, the Field Leader can return here to convert the slot back to a regular slot.

Locating Learner Slots on ORBATs: Learner slots are easy to find on open ORBATs, denoted by their blue cap and blue deploy buttons. Once the slot has been claimed it is again denoted with it's blue cap.
