Managing squadXML:
Unlike most BMO management functions, squadXML is not managed from within AdminCP.

  1. Access squadXML Editor at this link: https://3rdinf.us/squadxml/
  2. Most functions are self explanatory. 
    1. Click to add a new solder to the XML. image.png
    2. Click to Edit the existing soldier.  image.png
    3. Click to Delete the existing soldier.  image.png
  3. From the list view, the titles don't make much sense, but they are required to be written in this fashion by Arma3.
    1. ID = Player ID ( Steam64 ID, 17 digits)
    2. NICK =  Soldier's Rank Abbreviation followed by First Initial . Last Name. (LTC J.LaFlash)
    3. NAME = Call Sign used in game.
    4. EMAIL = Radio Frequency used.  (Freq: 121) [If using multiple, separate with a | and include SW/LR if applicable - (Freq: SW 121 | LR 30 ) ]
    5. ICQ = Combat Duty Assignment. (Alpha Company, First Platoon, First Squad)
    6. REMARK = Current Duty Assignment Position (Fireteam Member)
