Decided to put this into a handy document so you know what the squad leader can do.
1. Give orders.
2. Give punishment for failing to follow orders.
3. Separate the squad, and leave a temporary leader for the sub-squad.
4. Can give temporary absences from the squad. (If you can't post for a while, your character can temporary leave. With squad leader permission of course. 
)
5. Is the only person who will still be in contact with Captin Terse except under special circumstances. She may change or lie about what the Captin sent for her own purposes. (I send the messages to her as Captin Terse in IM's.)
Ex) For the last order she received was "*This is a pre-recorded message.* We have had some diplomatic problems with Magnate. Short to say, you no longer need to leave the solar plant in tact. In fact, the exact opposite. We wish to send a message to the people of Magnate. Destroy the Leeches and the Plant. This is a direct order, I expect you to obey."
She chose to obey. If we pretended there was an alternate reality, she could have chosen to disobey this order. If she did, the squad would have suffered some type of punishment. There could also be diplomatic effects on the area.
