Why should this Battalion Commander(+) be demoted?:
1. Inactivity
29 hours on gmod in the past two weeks, which have equally been met/passed with Halo infinite hours, proving he has the ability to play but does not. This does not only apply to himself, but his subordinates as well. His subordinates being:
- Malore: Hardly ever online, it’s even more lackluster than Bird himself. Not to mention his refusal to unprivate his hours for this research.

- Kevi: Equally as lacking as Malore, as he finds more time to maintain his bounty hunter status then anything else.

- All his officers: If one went to the rancor and hand-picked any select officer, they could visit their steam profile and see just how inactive each one is.
2. Failure to maintain activity in the battalion
This one is truly the worst of it. The current number of active players in Rancor is marked as six. Six active members in a battalion that’s vital in terms of the trainings it holds. Beyond that there lies seven semi-active members, meaning those I mentioned that don’t even play. Lastly is the two marked as inactive, which I personally regard as an irrelevant status due to the fact that they could be removed but aren’t.

3. General bad attitude
Bird’s attitude can be nothing short of disruptive at times. One recent case that can be mentioned is as follows:
SPEC was assigned to a deployment on the Sunday of November 21st, where both Rancor and SOBDE were quick to attend. Both SOBDE and Rancor were told to switch to specific jobs as to maintain an equal balance throughout the event, in which Bird was not happy with and simply disconnected. With Bird's refusal to play the event due to this simple matter, his whole battalion followed through with him. All but one Rancor remained, which was Malore.
What proceeds next is even more interesting. There were multiple CG on at the time of this deployment, and even a few had connected to the server to attend the deployment, but for some reason they suddenly disconnected and no further CG made an attempt towards joining the server. It goes without saying that Bird has connections to other people within his regiment, and this just proves fruitful on his ability to spread his bad attitude elsewhere and ruin things like a generally harmless deployment, which SPEC hardly ever gets. Likely for reasons like this.
This certainly doesn't rank as his only bad encounter, everyone has them of course, but this one is specifically notable for how absurd it is. Things like this, which can only promote activity for your battalion, in which you shoot down for miniscule reasons simply seem petty and are a bad attitude to maintain as a BCMD.
Has this Battalion Commander violated one of the rules for demotion?:
Yes, refer to the reasons stated above.

Suggestion for new Commander of that Battalion (OPTIONAL)?:
At the current state that Rancor has presented itself at, it would be best if no one within the battalion itself applied.
BCMD is a position that maintains many responsibilities, such as the respectability, activity, and the general healthy state of a battalion, and with the current members present within its ranks, that simply isn’t possible. Either someone from the outside needs to step up, or the battalion will simply have to wait. Bird is just not the current solution the battalion needs, and neither is anyone below him.
Statements from others:
Naffen (Alpha-66 2ndLT Muzzle) - Rancor is probably in the worst state I’ve seen it for a while, sure it has its ups and downs but there nothing is currently happening to try to change Rancors current state. Activity and competent officers are a necessity especially to keep the ARC Program up and running + Alpha Designations, with the current members we have in leadership of Rancor and lack of initiative from Bird to deal with these inactive and incompetent officers leads me to not have trust in his ability to lead the battalion and uphold its standards and activity. I already brought up the inactivity and incompetence from some members in the battalion during our Officer meeting to which my concerns were shrugged off and forgotten about.
Freck (Current Admiral Yularen) - Rancor is an important part of the server for those interested in the ARC programme; there have been many instances in which players have wanted ARC related trainings, but, unfortunately, I only see 2ndLT Naffen actively playing his role within the battalion. Do I believe the battalion needs active leadership? Yes. Do I know who should be in this active change of leadership? No.
Stix (Former Spec Reg and Rancor BCMD) - Rancor is currently in the worst state I have seen it for a while, it is currently lacking overall leadership with the current High Command consisting of Bird Malore Kevi and Marr simply don’t do anything at all, they all have an overall lack of motivation and they currently all hold positions outside of Rancor that they are more interested in those position outside of Rancor then the battalion itself, Bird is more active on his Jedi overall then his BCMD job he willing applied for and is currently not giving any shits about the battalion, Malore was always a risky promotion back when I did it but he just shows overall favouritism in all most all of his choices the most recent one being the choice for Alpha-17 in which instead of actually putting an opinion down on the current Alphas he looked at his most active and willing Alpha member and just said No and refused to elaborate on how he didn’t want him and instead promoted someone who hadn’t played for almost a week straight and then got on for 2 days after Alpha-17 was open and was just handed the position. Malore also chooses to give more shits about his Guild Marshal position on the server than his Alpha Branch, which he barely even leads. Kevi, also has similarities to Malore in the sense of he holds things outside of Rancor and would give them more attention then his dying battalion and cares about his guild position more than his position of XO in Rancor he is also currently Etain in SOBDE and he is even considered inactive on this position as well so he clearly can’t maintain all the position he holds and has too much on his plate. Marr doesn’t have to actually interact with the battalion of Rancor but he also simply doesn’t do anything; he has been a CMD for about 4-5 months now and I can’t think of anything he has actually done since he held this position.
Claw (Former Rancor Colonel) - Without a doubt, Rancor is the worst battalion on the server. On a player basis, it's the worst on the server; 2 at most will ever get on for events. And even with that most of the time those 2 people will just eventually join another battalion teamspeak, leaving Rancor in its paralysed state.
Anonymous - Coming from someone who was previously Commander Havoc in Rancor, the current state of the battalion from both outside information and inside information is rather disheartening. The overall standard of the battalion itself has seemingly plummeted to a low that’s been seen a few times before, and one would hope not to see it again. With the general lack in activity and quality within the battalion itself, it simply isn’t maintaining that high bar that it previously held for itself.
1. Alpha ARC generally seems useless and like it’s just given to the most obscure, random people via the application system that’s been given. Aka, this seems pretty heavily based on the opinions of the people running the apps.
2. ARF has otherwise been thrown out all together, promoting the mindset that enlisted have no choice but to be ARC, which can only scare more people off.
3. There are still multiple people in the battalion from when I was in it, and I know for a fact they hardly played then. Why would they play now? Answer: they don’t.
