Community boards & feeds

One board engine, three scopes. Members ask and answer in the open forum, coordinate privately on the squad board, and log their own progress on a profile feed.

Public forum

Open to every member and readable by search engines. 9 topic categories from water and power to medical and comms.

Squad board

Private to squad members. Threads sit beside the plan, roster and doc center for the same group.

Member feed

A personal wall on each profile — field notes, gear reviews, training logs, visible to connections.

Why it matters

Boards give a member something to do on the days nothing is going wrong. Public threads are indexable, which turns real questions into organic acquisition; squad boards keep the group returning between drills; profile feeds make expertise visible and drive connection requests into the search funnel.
