| | Body | As many new project leaders and brigade commanders have discovered, many projects at CyberArmy have a high turnover rate, as new recruits find that their work is tedious, and as a result, they either vanish or sit around. The solution hypothesized by Ikioi was to create a "buffer" that would allow the brigade to filter the uncommitted, while also allowing the recruits to try out different areas of work with the brigade to see where they fit in *BEFORE* being fully assimilated by a particular group. This Brigade Pool offers many advantages:
- All brigade members who come out of the Pool have proven themselves to be reliable and competent enough to fulfill their role.
- It gives members who have done their time in the Pool a sense of accomplishment by "graduating" into the brigade.
- Most importantly, it fosters closer relationships between group leaders and the membership, and it makes the brigade unit much more efficient in achieving its goal.
The downside is that the Brigade Pool itself is high maintanance and requires that the Chain of Command within the brigade be tight-knit and well-coordinated. Therefore, it is a good idea for an X/O to be assigned to run it so that he is already equipped with the tools and resources to coordinate the Pool with the rest of the brigade. As all potential members of a brigade will come through the Brigade Pool, if the Pool is not run properly it has the potential to undo a brigade as much as it can build one up. A Pool will not work for every brigade, so everything must be carefully planned.
