ACM Basics
Engaged and Supporting Fighter Contract
The heart of the “ACM Contract” is the establishment and adherence to ACM Roles. There are three roles:
- Engaged (offensive or neutral),
- Defensive, and
- Supporting.
The division of responsibilities serves two basic purposes:
- Killing the bandit and
- Ensuring element survival.
