AEGIS Ranks

The military contingent of AEGIS International is divided into 7 command groups which are comprised of 22 ranks. The first 10 of these ranks, all the way up to Experienced Field Agent, may be obtained through holding a certain number of points. Ways to earn points vary from doing duty-states to attending trainings and even earning them from Unit Captain+ hosted events.
Graduating from the AEGIS Officer Academy (AOA) is a requirement to rank up past Experienced Field Agent. After graduating AOA graduates are ranked to Administered Field Agent, where they must host lessons in the AEGIS Academy and demonstrate their leadership capabilities to be promoted. Promotions past Administered Field Agent and into the Regional Command Group generally require recognition and deliberation by the Overwatch and High Command groups.
==Chain of Command==
When dealing with any issue AEGIS personnel are encouraged to utilize the chain of command, starting at the lowest possible level that can deal with their issue and slowly working their way up if their problem isn't resolved. The first 3 command groups, with the exception of Administered Field Agents and above, are largely powerless to deal with out-of-game issues.
__TOC__
=== AEGIS Academy===
The AEGIS Academy command group is the most junior command group, these ranks largely lack self-agency due to restrictions that determine which duties they can perform. A general lack of experience also contributes to this, requiring them to be instructed rather than being trusted to know their place in the day to day operations of the facility. They will, through the AEGIS Academy and on hand experience, learn. The AEGIS Academy is made up of 3 ranks, Initiate, Cadet, and Junior Operative. The AEGIS Academy can be access through the AEGIS Discord. 
* Initiate - 0 points
The lowest and by far most populous rank within AEGIS, Initiates are equipped with an ACAD-1 keycard and a P1-TRAINING-E service pistol for basic defense. The bar is intentionally set low with Initiates, obeying the rules and regulations of AEGIS is the minimum expectation. Their primary post is at the lanes, where they defend upon the red lines.
* Cadet - 1 points
Cadets, while only being 1 point over Initiates, generally have a better understanding of how AEGIS functions. They are allowed to operate the processing lanes and are the first step an individual takes into a lifelong and fulfilling career of service within the corporation. 
* Junior Operative - 2 points
Upon reaching the rank of Junior Operative you'll notice a wealth of opportunities now being offered to you, with many more to come. Junior Operative are issued the G14-6B automatic rifle as well as the P226, the AEGIS standard issue sidearm. Junior Operatives are also given the L-1 keycard, giving them access to the basic areas of the facility, Examples of newly gained duties include posting on the tower posts or operating booths. Junior Operatives can also co-host and spectate a Basic Awareness Training.
=== Dispatch===
Once personnel graduate the AEGIS Academy, they will become an Operative and be able to have more freedom in the duties they perform, such as Co-Hosting BATs, and going on patrols, SO+ can join divisions.
SO+ are also able to join divisions.
* Operative - 4 points
After a member has finished the Academy, they become an Operative, an official AEGIS member. Operatives can hold posts on the roof of the border facility. They may also attend patrols.
* Senior Operative - 16 points
After reaching this rank, members can join a division(beside AIA). Senior Operatives are also allowed to host BATs. 
* Experienced Operative - 27 points

* Veteran Operative - 54 points

=== Command Relay===
Past Dispatch are the Command Relay ranks. Starting at Field Agent, these personnel tend to have a larger responsibility in the border.
* Field Agent - 85 points
Field Agents are higher on the command scale than ordinary non-Officer+ personnel. They are allowed to go outside the facility for patrols (providing it has been authorised by a member of Site Control) and to open and close the main border gate if they are the highest rank in-game with no divisional personnel present . They are also given an L-2 keycard. Upon reaching this rank, members are able to take three members above the rank of Operative (including themselves) on a patrol. Field Agent+ also may apply for the AEGIS Officer Academy, but cannot pass onto stage 2. It is possible for any rank to be handpicked as a Field Agent by an Officer+, though this is extremely rare. When it does happen, however, the person handpicked is usually at the rank of Veteran Operative already. There is no specific number of people that have to handpick the person.
* Senior Field Agent - 128 points
This rank has the same weapons, duties, and responsibilities as a Field Agent. This rank is permitted to take up to five members above the rank of Operative (including themselves) on a patrol. Senior Field Agent+ also may apply for the AEGIS Officer Academy, but cannot pass onto stage 3. 
* Experienced Field Agent - 172 points

After becoming an EFA, members are able to fully experience the AEGIS Officer Academy.

Personnel can only be promoted to a Regional Command rank through selection by the AEGIS High Command, although UC+ also have a say in the decision.
