Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
The Armed Forces and the People United (abbreviated to AFPU) is a top-secret military organization founded and led by the United States Air Force, tasked with operating the Stargate device and all matters pertaining to things offworld, such as threats to Earth or missions to procure new technology from extraterrestrial civilizations. It is based inside the Cheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado, code named "Area 52".
The AFPU base acts as the secure ground station for all Stargate activities. It is typically commanded by a Major General (O-8) and is staffed by subject matter experts and military support personnel, Security Forces, and several SG teams.
The primary function of the base is to secure the Stargate and protect the Earth. Simultaneously, it exists to coordinate exploration and diplomatic relationships through the Stargate; i.e. it is the core of the Stargate program, the mission of which is to procure technology that can defend Earth, and make offworld allies.
Many cover stories have been generated to keep the general populace, even high-ranking government officials, unaware of the goings-on within AFPU. The future of humanity lies with us… godspeed.

BASE ACCESS AND SECURITY
2.1. General Info. In order to ensure that the technology, and existence of AFPU is not made public knowledge, each member is assigned a Comprehensive Security Classification. A Comprehensive Security Classification (CSC) determines what information you have access to, what base systems you can control, and what areas of the base you can enter.
Each member’s CSC is stored in their Access Card, an item which must be carried around by AFPU personnel at all times. Failure to present your Access Card when requested will lead to your immediate arrest.
2.2. Door Regulations. There are many doors throughout the game. Somes doors are restricted to only allow certain people from accessing them. If you cannot open a door, do not stand outside of the door, and do not attempt to bypass it (glitching, etc). You may only enter rooms and areas you have access too. You are not allowed to enter divisional areas unless you are a member of that division or have gotten permission from the CO or XO of that division. In addition, if you are going into a secure area, make sure to close the doors behind you. Doors labeled (C-#) should be closed at all times, unless otherwise told by a member of CCT.

REGULATIONS
3.1. Basic Rules. All members must comply with these rules.
- Visitors are not to be harmed, unless if they are found armed and dangerous or in restricted areas.
- No ally is to be harmed unless they are found attacking AFPU personnel.
- Raiders should only be engaged if they are deemed “hostile” by the Rules of Engagement (3.2).
- All members must follow the orders of those higher than them, unless the order violates any rules herein.
3.2. Rules of Engagement. Rules of engagement (ROE) are the internal rules or directives among military forces (including individuals) that define the circumstances, conditions, degree, and the manner in which the use of force, or actions which might be construed as provocative, may be applied.
Mainly, the rules of engagement can be assumed as common sense - do not shoot non-hostile targets (do not have a gun out); engage hostile targets. To define this broad specification, the following points must be assessed before you begin engaging a target:
- Are they holding a gun?
- Are they firing the gun?
- Are they on the hostile team?
- Are they an escaped prisoner?
- Are they shooting at my teammates?
The above can be used to identify hostile targets which may be engaged upon. Confirm that two or more of these points are positive in order to engage. Friendly targets or non-engageable targets are defined as the following:
- Unarmed visitors
- Unarmed and surrendering hostiles
- Contained prisoners
- Allies and AFPU Personnel
3.3 Divisional Rules. APPU's divisions operate at a higher level of activity and capability. Given their responsibility and recognition, their members must adhere to a strict set of rules, regardless of rank or position.
3.3.1. Divisional Hierarchy
- Hierarchy is set by the divisions' ranks, regardless of AFPU's ranks. While on duty for said division, you automatically adhere to these standards.
- Members in a role named Applicant or Trainee of a division shall not be considered members of said division and they shall not claim otherwise.
3.3.2. Operational Duty.

- If a personnel member is dishonorably discharged, one may not state that they were previously in said division.

3.5.2 Class-A uniforms are only to be worn for formal events. Class B is the default formal at any given time, unless otherwise stated by a member of HICOM
3.5.3 In an attempt to keep the nature of Area 52 secret, any divisional uniform containing AFPU, SGSOC, or SG team patches may not be worn outside of the base. If one does not want to wear formals, they should wear the standard M81 combats.
