Blackguards

The Blackguards 2nd Battle Group
The St. George Squadron of the White's Second Battle Group

Our Motto: 

Requirements of Service
What sets a Battle Group Officer (BGO) apart from a SGS officer is dedication to commit not only to a shared goal, but to the requirements of that service. It is certainly not for everyone, but BGOs are, by no means, considered to be apart, above, or below SGS officers. They are SGS captains who have taken extra responsibilities on their plates.

Battle Group Officers of the Blackguards are expected to meet the following requirements:

Leadership:
 * Commodore - The rank of Commodore is organizational, and is not a command rank. A Group Commodore works to set standards and practices for their battle group. They also set up encounters, training or real, whenever possible.


 * Senior Officers - The Chain of Command applies to any Battle Group in the same manner as the St. George Squadron. The Blackguards have no separate ranking system. A Blackguard is, above all, an SGS officer, and is expected to take orders from any senior officer in the Squadron.


 * Officers - In practice, all Blackguards officers are given the opportunity, and are expected, to lead the group in skirmishes and actions (with prior consent). Developing the ability to strategize is important to our goal of excellence.
