Manage a groups of RPs.

Stay in. Shift work. Force people dig trenches. Conduct weapons training. Wake people up for contingency drills. %#@[email protected] people upside-down.

basically everyone has said it. PC to NSF RPs. Depending on how the security thing is run in Tengah, could be shift work, could be 8-5. I am only sure the FDS in SBAB is 24/7, so if its the same, its likely shift work.

PCs, as usual, mostly zbl one..

Basically field defence squadron is a defence unit in every airbase.

Their responsibility is the security of the airbase in the event of an infiltration by enemy special forces.

They are like more sophisticated RP, with a very large area (as big as a new town) to secure and protect. They also have specialised training because of the unique area they are protecting.

Shift work, cause its 24/7 business.

Well, he technically works only 7 days per 14 days while most people work 10, though there is utterly no consistency nor mercy for his weekends/public holidays.
