Rules

British Army Rules

Below is a list of generic rules the British Army follows. Like all other rules, breaking these rules will result in an appropriate consequence.

  1. Follow the Chain of Command by carrying out the orders given to you by the Royal Military Police, your regimental command or higher ranked members. Do not contact high ranking members for minor issues. HRs will not solve every single problem you have.
  2. Address personnel correctly, if they are ranked below Sergeant Major, address them by their rank, followed by their name. Otherwise, address them with either “Sir” or “Ma’am”. Only salute to officers (Lieutenant+). Only salute if you are wearing a beret.
  3. You must follow the uniform regulations of the British Army. They can be found here
  4. Trolling, immaturity and foul language is not permitted.
  5. You are not allowed to use faces and emojis except from “XD”.
  6. Don’t ask for a promotion, ranks are earnt, not given or bought. Asking for promotions will result in an immediate demotion.
  7. You do not have to use perfect grammar, but use it to the best of your ability in order to be understood.
  8. Do not recruit from the British Army, this will be considered treason and you will be banned.
  9. Help people who are struggling. In most cases when someone is breaking a rule, it is likely because they don’t know it exists. If you believe the breach of the rules was intentional then report it to the Royal Military Police or an Officer.
  10. Follow all rules of the British Army wherever and whenever you’re representing us, these are many more rules. The code you need to be promoted is xpfTN3LPs8

Uniform Rules

Below is the list of uniform regulations that we abide be unless orders come directly from HQ permitting an exception to rules.

  1. Do not wear any form of body package. Only the original 1.0 roblox model is permitted.
  2. No accessories are allowed, including bandanas unless you are in combat uniform, in which case the accessories must be deemed “military-related”, officers have the right to decide whether an accessory is military related or not.
  3. Females must tie long hair in a bun.
  4. Short hair styles are limited to “Trecky Hair” and “Hair of the Future”
  5. Nobody is allowed facial hair and should be clean-shaven.
  6. Specific uniforms are to be worn under the following circumstances:
    • Combat Uniform:
      • Official combat deployments to foreign and allied territory.
    • No.1 Formals:
      • Ceremonial occasions and formal parades
      • When given permission by an officer, for a good reason.
    • Physical Training (PT) Uniform:
      • Trainings at the academy.
    • Standard Uniform:
      • To be worn by on-duty military personnel, when any other uniform is not appropriate.
  7. Wear the correct headdress:
    • Standard Uniform requires you to wear a beret, there are no excuses for not wearing a beret
    • No.1 Formals requires you to wear a cap or beret depending on your regiment.
    • Combat Uniform is exempt from headdress requirements
    • PT Uniform is the same as standards.
  8. Glasses can only be worn by officers.
  9. T-Shirts are not permitted, unless it is authorised by HQ.
  10. You are not allowed to wear unofficial uniforms while representing the British Army. Only uniforms in our group stores are official.

Uniforms are an important part of the army, they allow us to identify fellow soliders, provide camouflage and sometimes important protection. A soldier wearing uniform also conveys authoritative stance, allowing members of the military to stand out and take charge.

Regimental Rules

Royal Military Police

Below is a list of regiment rules that all members of the Royal Military Police have to follow.

  1. The great deal of power when it comes to enforcing rules and discipline within the British Army given to RMP is never to be abused in any way.
  2. Lethal force should only be used in situations where it is absolutely necessary.
  3. You must always think before you act within RMP, your decisions as military police affect all military personnel as well as civilians.
  4. You must act as a role model to other soldiers and set an example.
  5. Ensure all military personnel are following the British Army rules.
  6. Only take orders from British Army HQ and higher ranking Military Personnel, you are not to take orders from anyone else.
  7. Your actions as military police must be justifiable, failure to provide good reasoning for an action will result in your demotion and/or removal from RMP and possibly further consequences.
  8. All issues regarding the British Army and their evidence must be logged in the appropriate format. Currently this is #rmp-patrol-logs on our discord.
