"As an Officer, you will serve as a source of leadership and strategy for your unit. Working alongside your Commander and fellow Officers, you’ll organize your unit and provide instructions on your objectives as the frontline shifts."

— Officer Role Guide

The Officer is one of the fourteen playable roles featured in Hell Let Loose.

Officers are the infantry unit leaders and are primarily responsible for maintaining unit cohesion and facilitating quick deployment onto the field via Outposts and Garrisons. As a unit leader, the Officer has access to the command chat and is able to designate a unit role from the deployment screen.

Gameplay Tips

Place that spawn point – As an Officer you should be ensuring that you always place an Observation Post down for your unit. This should be at the forefront of your mind when deciding on your battle plans. If the frontline shifts, or your original Observation Post is destroyed, be sure to place another one down in a viable location.

For the greater good – When placing a Garrison down, co-ordinate with your fellow Officers to ensure that it’s in a suitable place for your whole team. Clustering Garrisons together in close proximity will reduce their potential impact on the battle.

Keep your head down – Officers are a juicy target for a plucky Rifleman or Sniper. Unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid leading from the front of your unit. Losing an Officer at the start of an engagement denies a unit of smoke cover, binocular markers and even a rapidly placed Observation Post.

Hearts and minds – A unit wipe not only hits your team’s manpower, but it can also impact your unit’s morale. You may have lost that battle, but the war is far from over! Rally your soldiers with some positive words, keep their chins up and form a counter-attack!

Duty calls – When storming an urban area or trench system, the Officer’s loadout excels. Equipped with an SMG, a pistol and two types of grenades, you are a close quarter combat force to be reckoned with.

Trivia

• Due to the importance of unit leaders, Officers are unable to switch roles within their unit. This restriction can be bypassed by leaving and rejoining the unit.
