Use the command channel (:v) to coordinate with the pilot officers and ask what do they need. Do note that you cannot conduct FMs (Fire Missions). You can only use direct hit.
Preparing and Resupplying the Dropships
When the operation begins, The dropships will most likely need some preparing, If there is a Pilot Officer you should ask them what modules and ammunition they plan on using and print it for them, This can be done via the dropship part fabricator in the workshop, North of the hangar. After the initial preparations the dropships will also likely need more ammunition, You can help by preparing the ordnance they need before they land and putting it near the dropship. The dropship parts and ammunitions costs are as follows:

| Sentry deployment system | 500 | 17 minutes |

Medical Assistance in the FOB
If you are tired of printing ammunitions you can give medical support in the FOB. You can do it by getting a defibrillator and a M276 pattern lifesaver bag and look around the FOB for any injured marines, Just make sure you get back to the dropship in time!
Note: You may not leave the FOB nor are you a combat role, While at the FOB you should only use your personal firearm for self defense and if the situation escalates you should go back to the dropship.
Maintaining Order in the Dropship
Another job of yours is making sure the order is kept inside the dropship, Watch out for any marines harming the dropship or other marines and treat them appropriately, Note your rank is SSGT. and so you outrank all squad roles except the Squad Leader.
