Title
Deputy Squad Leader

Ventrilo Rank
[[ DSL ]]

Can be referred to as
"The DSL"

Role
The DSL's role essentially is to act as a liaison between the squad members and the Squad Leader. The DSL will assist the SL with his/her roles and responsibilities when and where possible. Dependant on your SL you may have little to do or you may be required to do a lot, either way it is down to the SL to deligate these tasks to you. Initiative is needed in this and you will be expected to use it, however it is not your role to make decisions for the SL when they are active within the community. Look after the members and advise the SL.

Responsibilities
The responsibilities of the Deputy Squad Leader who is often referred to as "The DSL" primarily must look after the members of their squad, after that clan members should be your next priority. Ensure everyone knows when training and matches are, advise the SL and give ideas for things. If the SL gets killed in a match or is not present at training for example it will be your job to take command of the squad untill the SL is present. You are next in command for your squad and are now a ranking officer, you represent this community, stick to the rules and play hard!
