Aid stations are locations during gameplay that allow players to respawn without returning to the FOB. An AID STATION will be similar to a control point in having both faction flags present. However, there will also be a MEDICAL FLAG above signaling that this is an AID STATION. The team currently owning the AID STATION must change the flag to their faction for the STATION to be active.

1. An AID STATION only allows players to remove one bandage after being killed and return to gameplay. This means you cannot remove a bandage and then return 20 minutes later and remove another. It must be after a death. If a player is killed and no medic is around to bandage them, after waiting 5 minutes a player can also return to the AID STATION then re-enter play. If a player is what we call ” DEAD DEAD” which means they have two bandages on and have been killed a third time, they must wait the standard five minutes and return to the FOB to respawn. They CANNOT use the AID STATION.
2. Players are not allowed to reload their mags at an AID STATION.
3. If at any time the AID STATION takes effective fire, the AID STATION is then deemed inactive and players are not allowed to respawn there. An Admin will usually be on-site to determine the status of AID STATION.

5. Once a team eliminates all defending players at an AID STATION, they must change the flag to their corresponding faction and then it becomes active for them.

10. If an MRP is taking accurate fire, troops waiting to respawn must leave and go to the nearest alternate respawn point.  (If all the casualties at an Aid-Station or Casualty Collection Point are shot, then they are dead)
11. MRP may not be deployed any closer than 50ft to a building.
