Ladies and gentlemen,

Rogue Squadron will be taking on a second mission and operations role. That is to act as an organized commando and quick reaction force on board Stacy and elsewhere as needed when we are called upon to either react to attack or, if needed, project power beyond the ship. I wish to note that this duty is not a compulsory part of your training or your service in the squadron. Most of you signed up to be pilots, and anyone who wishes to be exempted from this duty will be allowed to.

However, there are several younger members in the squadron who I cannot allow to participate in this part of our mission in good conscience. It's one thing to allow you to pilot fighter craft, but I cannot, in good faith, allow fourteen, fifteen and sixteen year-olds to engage in dangerous commando operations. If you feel you have a compelling reason that will induce me to allow you to serve in this capacity, please feel free to present your reasons to me privately. Don't expect me to change my mind beyond extraordinary circumstances, however.

All those willing to serve in this capacity, please respond here and let me know what sort of skills you have that may be useful in this capacity. Specifically, such skills include small arms, demolitions, hand-to-hand combat, infiltration and communications.

--General Wedge Antilles, Rogue Squadron, Officer Commanding
