[Chapter Three: Guild Structure]
Fist of the Empire utilizes a stratified division of labor across the guild leadership in order to operate smartly, and efficiently. To swiftly meet the demands of professional gaming, FoE relies on various levels of leadership to accomplish guild tasks. The guild is broken down into three primary levels of leadership; STRAT-FoE, OP-FoE, and TAC-FoE. Each level of leadership has a particular task and purpose to ensure continual guild functionality. All three levels of leadership work in tandem to achieve the guild’s mission statement.
Below is the diagram for FoE unit structure and major staff positions. FoE can be broken down into three major areas: Strategic FoE, Operational FoE, and Tactical FoE.
STRAT-FoE (Strategic FoE): The strategic level of the guild organizes and plans guild level operations and supports operational level Major Subordinate Commands, MSC, in their respective games. Additionally, STRAT-FoE publishes guild-wide guidance and regulations for MSC CDRs' to follow. This guidance is published quarterly, at least two weeks prior, in order to allow MSC units proper time to resource, plan and execute accordingly.

OP-FoE (Operational FoE): Operational level of the guild organizes, plans, and supports tactical level units in accordance with STRAT-FoE guidance. OP-FoE is responsible for recruitment and management of members as well as training of tactical level units. OP-FoE acts as an autonomous unit levying support from STRAT-FoE level leadership. Major Subordinate Commands (MSC) and Chapters (CHPTR) are the OP-FoE level units.
