Wings

The purpose of wings is simple, to alleviate stress on officers, and streamline the organization of the guild as a whole.

This is accomplished by the autonomy granted to wings. Each wing has complete control over its game and the strategy it uses to approach that game.

A wing is required to participate in WarBirds guild affairs, they are subject to the WarBirds Codex, and wings must follow guild directives.

Wings also serve a secondary function in WarBirds, As WarBirds maintains a main game that the majority of the guild is playing, we use wings as a way of grouping individual squads on our main game. We find that this results in superior teamwork in pvp, and gvg content.

Inside of each wing we use a set command structure internally, however due to the nature of video games, a wing may refer to different officers by different names, commonly the name of the officer position inside of the game, however for WarBirds guild purposes we refer to the following command structure in wings:


Wing Commander
Responsible for the following:
- Leadership and management of the wing and its officers.
- Management of wing resources and finances supplied by the guild or acquired by the wing.
- Participation in guild activities, competitions, and overall management of the guild.

- Any duties not explicitly assigned to another officer within a wing.
