* We do not condone any corrupt activities, anybody who is found to be conducting with such activities will be fired!

3. Basic Information

What we do: The National Guard is a strong group of men and women who work in Fort DeMorgan, a high security prison for the dangerous criminals of San Andreas. Although we do not normally enter cities, nor do we arrest, we are occasionally called in for special situations, like catching heavily armed criminals or assisting with SWAT situations, and even terrorist threats.

4. Advanced Information

Firstly, and most importantly, make sure you go to the locker room at DeMorgan and go on duty.((/NG)) and on duty, and then do it again and get your weapons from the armory section of the menu.

Badge

Code:
/badge

You can Go on duty or off duty anywhere by this command to put your badge on or off. But always wear your badge when a senior is near you or junior too to know your duty.

Radio Chat

Code:
/r(adio) <message>

This is used to speak with the other members of the NG. This is meant to stay IC as often as possible.

Department Chat

Code:
/d(epartment) <message>

Similar to the /r command, this is used to not only communicate with fellow NG officers, but also communicate with members of the other factions (FBI, FDSA, and LSPD). Just like the radio chat, this is meant to stay IC, but the difference between /d and /r chat is that there will be no OOC chat in /d. If a high command or admin notices you speak OOC in /d then you may get in serious trouble.

Megaphone

Code:
/m(egaphone) <message>

The megaphone allows you to instruct citizens from a farther distance than /s. The megaphone can only be used in government vehicles. Binds for megaphones are allowed, but are to be kept to no longer than two lines in order to avoid spam and irritation.

Wanted List

Code:
/wanted

The wanted list shows the current wanted suspects. It will display their name along with how many warrants they have.

Mobile Data Computer

Code:
/mdc

The Mobile Data Computer will list a suspects crimes (though, for the most part, unfortunately, this is not the case). This should be used after you have received a suspects identification. * Generally not to be used by the NG. Even you can see who,s online in other agencies and find BOLO,s.

Suspect System

Code:
/su(spect) <name/ID> <crime>

This command is never to be abused. The suspecting system allows you to place warrants for committing crimes on a suspect, so that you can subsequently have them arrested. You are NOT allowed, at any point in time, to place metagamed warrants on anyone. If you are caught doing so, you risk major infraction strikes and possible suspension time. * Generally not to be used by the NG

When suspecting a person, ensure that you have some form of identification from that person. For the most part, the person will show you their license, however, this is not always the case. If they refuse to show you any form of identification, you are allowed to RP some way of finding out their name and information (fingerprint scan, DNA test, etc.).

Tickets

Code:
/ticket <name/ID> <price> <crime>

This is how you can ticket individuals for smaller crimes. Generally, you should only ticket suspects if they've only committed one crime, or otherwise, a series of small crimes. Prices should stay low, never exceeding $10,000. Also, please keep in mind that you do need the suspects name before you are allowed to ticket them. * Generally not to be used by the NG

Deliver

Code:
/deliver <name/ID> & /ndeliver <name/ID>

You can deliver suspects if they are the Most Wanted and are at the plane with a star in the Los Santos Airport, however that should be left to the LSPD and FBI.
N-Delivering suspects will automatically put them into DeMorgan for half an hour, you should completely RP the delivering and have them down near the cells entrance or in the cells already. It can be used anywhere, however if anybody starts imprisoning people randomly they will be fired from the National Guard and poisoned themselves for abuse.

Frisking

Code:
/frisk <name/ID>

Frisking suspects allows you to view what items they have on them. Such items that may come up include: Crack, Materials, and Weapons (MP5, Desert Eagle, etc.). When frisking someone, always put on a pair of gloves prior to using the command. It is imperative that you do so.

Taking Items

Code:
/take <item name> <name/ID>

Taking items from a suspect can be quite useful, but should seldom be used. You have to be at least the rank of officer to take items. The only time you can EVER take items is weapons during an arrest. NEVER TAKE MATERIALS OR LICENSES. Doing so will likely get you demoted or fired. If someone is creating guns in jail from materials, inform a sergeant or above over radio chat about it.

Tazer

Code:
/tazer

The tazer is probably your most important tool as a Soldier. This should never be abused. When using the tazer, it tazes the closest person to you for a total of eight seconds. Keep in mind, you cannot taze other people in the LSPD, FBI or NG. The golden rule about the tazer is that if the suspect has a gun out AT ALL, the tazer is off-limits. This is to avoid any possible rushtazing situations. Also, prior to tazing someone, please use something along the lines of /me pulls out a stungun and aims it at the suspect. This is to ensure that the taze was properly RPed.

Cuffing Suspects

Code:
/cuff <name/ID>

Cuffing suspects allows you to put them in your custody. You can only cuff a suspect if they've either been tazed or if they have their hands up (using the /handset command). Cuffs do break after four minutes of initially being cuffed, so keep a watch on your time.

Detaining Suspects

Code:
/detain <name/ID> <seat id>

Detaining suspects allows you to place them in your car. To RP a detain correctly, position your car so that the suspect is next to the door that you will be detaining them to, otherwise, a simple /me grabs the suspect by the collar of their shirt should suffice. The seat IDs are as follows: 1 - Passenger seat, 2 - Rear driver-side seat, and 3 - Rear passenger-side seat.

Deploying Roadspikes and Deploying Cade

Code:
/deployspikes , /Deploycade

Deploying Roadspikes is needed when stopping suspect or traffic such as Units doing work and they can deploy the spikes in road to avoid traffic In. And deploying cade like a big roadblock piece you can deploy spikes between Cade .

5. Vehicle Information

Vehicles may only be driven with permission from a Major or higher, otherwise you must use civilian vehicles.

Patriot

The 'Patriot' is a four-doored vehicle and is relatively fast. It's used for standard Humvee Patrol around DeMorgan, as well as arresting trespassers or escorting escapees back to the prison.

A two-doored slow vehicle. Since it can't be driven out of DeMorgan it should just be used to arrest trespassers or escapees if they are inside the facility already and no Patriot's are available.

Cargobob:

A big two-seated helicopter. Useful to chase after other helicopters attempting to land in or near DeMorgan.

Hunter:

This standard Army helicopter is equipped with missiles and a minigun, making it one of the best aircraft available. It's not the fastest, however it is easy to control where it will shoot.

Hydra:

This fierce Army jet is equipped with heat seeking missiles, making it extremely hard to miss once locked on. It is easily the fastest aircraft available but as a result can make it a bit harder to aim and get a lock on other vehicles or aircraft.

6. Radio Dispatch

Being in Ventrilo/Teamspeak at all times while on duty is mandatory. If you are not in vent when ever you are in game you better have a decent excuse and also you may receive punishment for not being in Ventrilo while in game.

7. Chain of Command

You are in your position for one reason, to obtain a better understanding of how the national guard works. So if someone is a higher rank than you and tell you something you better do it. As a Private you may feel like you know everything there is to know. Trust us you don't. Keep in mind once you screw around at any rank chances are you will be removed. Respect everyone in the national guard no mater what their rank is.

CPR

Code:
Courtesy

Professionalism

Respect

Remember this!

National Guard Duties.

Introduction

The National Guard consists of many different tasks for it's members. This small guide will help everybody to become familiarized.

Humvee Patrol

This task involves the person assigned to drive a Patriot around the borders of the orange zone, following the dirt road that is spread out around the prison. They are to arrest anybody within the yellow zone and red zone, however if they're in the red zone they may shoot on sight.

Air Patrol

This task involves the person assigned to fly a Cargobob over all three zones; yellow, orange and red. They need to tell other aircraft to land immediately, and if necessary the aircraft will be shot down by ground soldiers.

Cell Duty

This simple task involves staying in the cell area, where prisoners are. There should be two people assigned here if possible so that one may escort released prisoners outside or in case of a break-in.
People may only be let out of cells if only one is let out at a time and there is a minimum of 4 Soldiers inside DeMorgan at the time. (If there is more prisoners you will need to cuff all the other ones first.)

Control Tower

This is a fairly annoying task. Whoever is assigned to it should stay within the control room at all times, viewing the cameras ( /camera 1-6 | off ) and opening the gate when required. Do not leave this room unless it is necessary or you've been assigned to do control tower and watch tower duties together, or you are ordered out.

Watch Tower

This task involves standing on one of the six watch towers located around the edges of DeMorgan. You are permitted to shoot down any incoming aircraft, as well as alerting others of their presence via (/r)adio.
