Section 2 - Rank Structure
The Chain of Command is as follows:
Junior/Senior Agents > Special Agents > Supervisors > Directors > Chairmen
(Enlisted) (NCO) (CMD) (HCMD) (D5 HCMD)
Agent/Senior Agents are the first ranks in the Internal Affairs Agency and by far the most abundant. These personnel are tasked primarily with carrying out the duties of the Department of Internal Affairs.
Special Agents are senior members of the Agency. Tasked with both mentoring Junior and Senior Investigators, and inducting new members into the Agency through training and tryouts.
Supervisors consist of Advisory Agents which is the first CMD rank in the IAA and also consists of Chief Advisors. They are tasked with communicating orders from the Assistant Director and Director to Investigators and providing orders where necessary.
The Board of Directors consist of the Deputy Chairman and Chairman of the Department, and are tasked with the day-to-day running of the agency, including appointing new Advisory Secretaries, updating documents, and communicating proposals to the Directing Overseers.
Chairmen consist of Delta-5 High Command, and are in charge of appointing new Directors and oversee all operations of the Department of Internal Affairs. Overseers typically do not interfere with the day-to-day running of the agency, but may intervene if necessary.
Section 3 - Duties
Rogue Foundation Personnel: Agents are tasked with dispatching traitors to the Foundation or spies. When Rogue personnel are spotted, Internal Affairs Agents are expected to issue and carry out an A.O.S. order. If capture is not possible, termination may be requested and put in order.
A list of common offenses/ ethics violations are listed below with the appropriate response. Please follow the Code Of Ethics Enforcement Guidelines for proper response and response
Checkpoint Management: Agents are tasked with establishing and/or manning checkpoints. During Checkpoint Management, Agents are also expected to I.D. check personnel to ensure that they are legitimate foundation personnel.
Field Checkpoints: In the event that an Agent needs to immediately hold down a small room / hallway, they may set up a “Field Checkpoint” utilizing their deployable shield.
Arresting: Internal Affairs Agents are tasked with fulfilling A.O.S. orders issued by themselves or other Foundation personnel. In the event that conflicting A.O.S. orders are issued, you are expected to listen to the individual of higher clearance / rank without question. Internal Affairs Agents are equipped with “Rope Restraints” in order to rapidly detain individuals before they can escape.
Upon capturing an individual as a part of an A.O.S. order, you are expected to detain them within the detainment cells or, if necessary, turn them over to Gamma-9 or other Special Forces for interrogation.
Patrols: When not engaging in any of the other aforementioned duties, Internal Affairs Agents are expected to be patrolling L.C.Z and E.Z. for any potential threats and to enforce the Code of Ethics where necessary, ensuring that personnel do not trespass within zones and escorting when necessary.
Meeting Guarding: IAA Agents may be assigned to guarding certain branch meetings, ensuring that personnel who are uninvolved with the meeting do not enter and/or interfere with the meeting. If requested by HCMD/SA, IAA Agents may also enforce meeting codes (such as preventing non-command from standing where command should stand)
Assisting Research Field Agents: IAA Agents can be called upon by RFA for assistance if it is related to Interrogations/Code Of Ethics, Bodyguarding, Escorting to Containment Chambers or Testing Area, Needs D-Class for Testing, General Security/Safety during a Test, or otherwise. (If Assault Units are active and on-duty, Let Assault Units handle Bodyguard/Escorting RFA unless RFA needs more assistance or there is no Assault Units on.)
Foundation Agencies: The Foundation Agencies are a group of different Sub-Divisions from different branches around the site. The Agencies have a very important role to keep up the study of anomalous objects, to prevent the foundation’s barriers from falling and protecting the veil of secrecy that surrounds us, and to protect mankind from the horrors of the unknown. The Agencies work together in tandem to achieve this goal. The Foundation Agencies consist of the very best and brightest of minds from the best Researchers out there to the loyal and the top Mobile Task Force members you can ever ask for. The Sub-Divisions that make up what the Foundation Agencies today are Research Field Agents (Research), Assault Units (Nu-7), Rangers (E-11), and finally ourselves. The Foundation Agency regularly gives us certain missions to do around the world as we keep the anomalous and the existence of the foundation a secret from societies and to keep those anomalous items out of GOI’s and the general public’s hands. We serve as a guardian for RFA but we also serve as a mobile interrogation unit during missions. We also serve the Foundation Agencies by being the main source of GOI-Information and Knowledge as we give as much detail to the rest of the agencies about how these organizations work from the inside and out.

Section 6 - Detainment
Upon the successful capture of a G.O.I. member or member of Foundation Staff, Agents are expected to either give them to Gamma-9 or another S.F. for Interrogation, or to hold them within one of 3 brigs on-site. You may only detain somebody for max 15 min.
