 A squad is made up mostly normal squad members who help fulfill critical secondary duties during combat situations. And of course, on top of them all sits the Squad Leader (or SL). By default, the squad management system will try to assign the highest ranking member of the squad as leader.

-While ship-side, you, the squaddie, have one very simple job: follow orders. If you were sent to repair the ship's hull, put on your space suit, grab a welder and start welding those plates. If you were sent to fill up Munitions, then go, make torpedoes, load guns, etc. Your strength is in numbers, so if only one of you turns up to the job, you wont make a big difference. So listen to the XO's or the SL's orders, and actually, help out. Don't be afraid if you find yourself overwhelmed by your new tasks! Ask your SL or your teammates if you don't know what to do!

When boarding, the plan doesn't change that much, but this time your lives are at stake! So always watch each other's backs and never go alone. Situational awareness is even more important then usual. Be careful with how you spend your ammo, as you do not get much. And always keep your pager at hand.
 Not all jobs can be members of a squad roundstart. This is either because they are in an important position, which they cannot leave to attend to Squad duties (like Engineers or Munitions Technicians), or that their jobs are close enough to Squad duties already (like Security Officers). The following jobs can't be squad members roundstart:
