📌 Understanding Activity Requirements in eBrigade

Logistics, Personnel, and Operational Guidelines #

The Requirements for an activity are an essential element of preparation. They allow for precise definition of what is needed in terms of personnel, equipment, and logistics for the activity to run smoothly.
With this information, involved members know exactly what is expected of them, and managers can allocate the right resources at the right time.

🎯 What is the Purpose of Requirements? #

Activity requirements enable you to:

• define the necessary human resources (staffing, roles, required skills),
• specify the logistical or equipment items to be planned,
• communicate the guidelines to members before they register,
• ensure that the activity will be adequately staffed and equipped,
• prevent deployment errors (unqualified personnel, missing equipment…),
• facilitate the preparation, coordination, and safety of the operation.

It is one of the key tools for structuring an activity operationally.

👥 1. Personnel Requirements #

When creating the activity, you can precisely define:

✔️ Required Staffing #

• minimum number of people,
• registration limits,
• ideal staffing (target),
• distribution by teams/roles if necessary.

✔️ Required Skills #

You can require certain skills for registration:
(examples: Team Leader, vehicle operation, internal authorization…).

➡️ Unqualified members will not be able to register, which ensures compliance and safety.

📦 2. Logistical and Equipment Requirements #

You can also specify what the activity needs to function, for example:

• vehicles
• operational equipment
• training equipment
• IT equipment
• safety equipment
• tools, kits, consumables
• documents, mission briefs, attendance sheets
• radios, phones, badges, keys, PCs, etc.

eBrigade allows you to list these items so that:

• organizers can prepare the equipment,
• members know what to bring or retrieve,
• logistics are anticipated and not improvised.

📢 3. Communicate Guidelines to Members #

Requirements also serve to communicate the essential guidelines:

• meeting point
• attire / required equipment
• timing
• responsibilities
• checks to be performed before the activity
• specific constraints
• personal equipment to bring
• documents to provide
• internal rules
• etc.

These guidelines allow each participant to know exactly what to do and what to prepare.

🔄 4. Why is it important? #

Requirements enable:

• more efficient mobilization,
• no forgotten equipment,
• automatic selection of suitable members,
• enhanced security (only competent personnel),
• better internal preparation,
• a clear view of what is still missing.

They optimize the entire organization, from planning to field operations.

🧭 5. Where do members view the requirements? #

Members can consult the requirements:

• in the detailed activity sheet,
• in the registration screen,
• and in their eBrigade mobile interface.

This allows them to be automatically briefed before registering or participating.

📝 Conclusion #

The Requirements for an activity are an indispensable tool in eBrigade for effectively preparing a mission, event, training, or standby duty.
They allow for the definition of what is needed in terms of personnel, skills, equipment, and logistics, and ensure that each member is mobilized under the best conditions.

When properly completed, they guarantee:
