fig. командовать (Kuijpers looks at Barret. "Sir? Where do I fit in?" Barrett looks Kuijpers in the eyes. "As with anyone in this squad, it depends on the situation. When we operate as a single group, Sergeant Griffith will remain the senior NCO. If we split into smaller units, you may be required to act as a fire team leader, or assist myself or Lt. Dawes as necessary. Due to the nature of our missions, it's difficult for any one of us to have a single clearly defined role, with a few exceptions. For now, just ride herd on the squad, and make sure things get done." "At your orders, sir." Kuijpers gives a snappy salute and turns away.)
