This suggestion is to greatly flesh out documentation for the Star Army of Yamatai, and perhaps other factions, as time permits, to include a list of tasks its members are expected to know how to perform, in order to promote consistency in the RP and to provide players with resources on how to deal with various situations their characters are in. For example, a task could be: "evaluate a casualty" or "call for orbital fire support from a starship." Some tasks could be basically lifted from real-world resources like US military manuals which are typically public domain.
We would start with the most basic tasks (render a hand salute) and most common tasks (don a power armor) and just organically add them as we come across situations in RP where it might help to document steps to do something (start an aether reactor, conduct damage control on a starship). As the list of tasks and skills grows over time, use them as chapters of a "soldier's handbook" and for training courses and create a sort of virtual basic training for players. MOS-specific skills and tasks could be linked on the MOS pages as part of the skills sections. Some of these already exist in a basic format, for example, on the medic MOS page:
The point is to both help players with a useful tool and to continue making the Star Army the most detailed and proficient fictional military force on the internet.
