Aim: The Joint Special Operations Command will be a organization comprised of specialists taken from the member nations tasked with peace keeping, counter-terrorist, anti-drug and human trafficking operations. The force itself will be a frame work that allows for players to take part in the mentioned operations across different nations in Tiandi that have given us permission to work there.
Framework: Squads will be comprised of 4-6 people. Each person will be given a rank within the organization that supersedes their home nation rank for our purposes. Each squad’s mission will function as a different RP. This helps ensure that if someone has to become inactive for whatever reason he can be voted ‘wounded’ by the other team members and the mission can continue. It also allows multiple missions to take place concurrently, allowing us to explore more of our member nations and give players some variety in mission objective.
Missions: Missions will be created under the supervision of the council of core nations. Associate nations can suggest mission ideas and create scenarios, but the final approval comes from the council. Anyone in Tiandi can suggest a mission, but the JSOC is only allowed to operate inside member nations or with explicit permission. So, if you want to host a mission you have to give us that permission. When a nation hosts a mission they can choose to be a CO-OP in that RP, either as a villain, support staff, or just watchful eye to make sure we are treating their canon with respect.
The Council: The council will oversee the general operation of the RP’s. It will be divided into two parts, the core council and the expanded council. Being a member of the core council is for players who want to help with the administration of the over world. They vote on missions, solve player disputes, and play villains when needed. The expanded council will consist of all nations who have send a soldier and are willing to host JSOC facilities in their nation. They will having voting rights on big in game decisions and have a big role in the overarching story, but it leaves out the administrative duties if they just want to play.
Associate Nations: For people who like the idea and want to support the organization, but maybe are not interesting in playing or hosting JSOC facilities in their nation the associate nation status is available. In exchange for funding you allow the JSOC to operate inside your nation. You can suggest mission ideas and interact with characters from the story, but you are effectively an allied nation of the JSOC, and not a member. Associate nations do not get representation on the council.
Ranking structure: Every nation has its own ideas about military ranks even though most of it is standardized so the ranking system of the JSOC will be as follows:
Enlisted:
Recruit
Operator
Lance-Operator
Senior Operator
NCO:
Sergeant
Sergeant grade II
Command Sergeant
Senior Command Sergeant
Master Sergeant
Officer:
Lieutenant
Lieutenant grade II
Captain
Staff Captain
Major
Lieutenant Colonel
Colonel
General Officer:
Brigadier General
Regional Commandant
__________________________________________________________________________
Base Commander: especially during times of expansion there may not be enough officers of suitable rank to lead different regional bases so therefore the effective command of a JSOC base is a council bestowed rank that can be given out or taken away depending on the circumstances. This rank is given in addition to any other rank and is not limited to officers.
Receiving rank: When the JSOC comes into existence it will hand out Enlisted, NCO, and Officer ranks to the founding members. Everyone who joins after starts at the bottom. Getting promoted comes from ones actions IC. If you see someone doing a good job, link the post to council members. Promotions can also be suggested and reviewed on a case by case basis. They can also be earned through extreme feats of bravery or writing skill, but just like in real life don’t expect to be promoted twice a week.
Wounded vote: If someone does not adhere to the minimum post per X agreement that players make before they start a mission then the other players can call for a wounded vote and, with a ¾ majority, treat that player as if they received a non-fatal wound and need to be extracted. You agree for this to happen to you when you take the ‘I will post at least x per x’ pledge at the beginning of each mission.
Permadeath: Before running off on your own to kill the entire enemy army by yourself remember that we employ a permenant death system here. If you get yourself into an unrecoverable situation. You will die and you will have to make a new character. Such a situation will be up to the council to decide. Of course you can choose to die if the story calls for it. Lets just try not to get Thanos snapped in the first month.

Credits: The idea that this RP is based on was called the Joint Strike Force and it was created and operated by Italian Mafias. Although everything above was written by me it would be irresponsible not to acknowledge them.
