1. Have a major advancement summary post if it meets one of the 'major advancement points' as mentioned below.  This thread is basically an ongoing summary of what happens in general within the story. Please do not post questions or comments on that thread, simply ask those on the discussion thread instead.  The post you make here can be as simple as "We destroyed the blah blah" or a bit more detailed as "We set explosive charges at location X, and radio commed all of you to avoid the location as they will go off in Y hours.  This should severely damage the Z building's structure and allow us to finish the building off with several well placed shots from our armored support."

What constitutes a major advancement?

1. Radio communicating a general message to all allies, or even to just one other squad.  This will make sure that they actually get the message in their storyline plots, despite if they barely read your posts (although I do suggest reading everyone's posts fairly well rather than simply skimming through the ones that are not your squad's).
2. Engage a significant enemy force.  The reason for this is that technically you are calling to command on a secure channel that you spotted and are engaging an enemy force of significant size, and it serves as a tactical reason in-story.  Out-of-story, it simply allows other writers not of your squad to possibly provide backup and write with your squad for a while, or even write of noises of combat.  Still perform this post even if you squad is a thousand kilometers away from anyone else (although you shouldn't be).
3. Call for support.  You call for support over a secure comm channel specifically designated for this purpose.  This will meant that other squads won't be able to call upon that unit for support, at least not immediately.  In some cases, one squad may have a more dire need and redirect the support, however this should be exceedingly rare.  In the case of air support, pretty much any squad can use it, however, we only have two usages for the all six squads combined.  So please be considerate.
4. Complete an objective in Phase III or Phase IV.  You are radioing command with your objective status, which other squads may hear as well and respond as such.
5. Cause some clearly noticeable event.  If you explode an ammo dump, I think we should at least be able to hear it even if you don't radio it in, so be sure to note that.  If you destroy some building or a distinguishable feature, please also note that.
