I pulled this info' off the official forums.

The keys are the Objective Above/Below and Teammate Above/Below as they will tell you the most info.

Squad Leader: You should use the SAI to direct your team to objectives that you want to focus on. Hit the "O" key then the letter of the objective (A, B, C and so on) and the objective icon will [GLOW=orange]flash.[/GLOW]

Team Members: You should follow the direction that your squad leader sends you in. Taking objectives =winning the map.

Everyone else: Use the "Report enemy location" key when you see the enemy. Doing so will allow your team to know where the enemy is and they can suppress them and flank them when possible.

<!--coloro:#3333FF--><span style="color:#3333FF"><!--/coloro-->**Note - For those of you so concerned about your precious Fragrate and that reporting the enemy will let someone steal your kill, get a brain and report them in as you shoot or after you killed them or missed them. That way everyone knows where the battle is.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

Please don't turn this into a SAI bashing thread. If you don't like the SAI then all you have to do is go to your settings menu and under the HUD tab disable the SAI and it will remove it for every map. If you want to disable it for a single map then you can use the [ and ] keys to remove it and bring it back on individual maps.


<!--coloro:#000099--><span style="color:#000099"><!--/coloro-->SAI settings are found in the "Settings" menu under the "HUD" tab. There is a setting there for showing "Player Names", "Elevations" or "Both". I recommend setting it to both until you get used to it.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

You can find more info using the "Support" button on the game menu or in the Quickstart guide in the "Help" folder of your America's Army file.

Here are the answers to a few questions that have been asked in Tracker:

That they are in your Squad?
Also, above players, do they have there icon and the "team mate above" icon?

Yes, the white circle around player icons indicates you are linked with them which in turn indicates the following:

- You are now a part of that group and daisy-chained to anyone else linked in.
- You and those you are linked to are now benefitting from the teamwork CEM bonus.

There are multiple ways to use the SAI, for example:

You can hit F4 to bring up the full screen SAI, then hit [ key to toggle the SAI off. This way, the SAI is not on your main Hud, but you can hit [ again to toggle the full screen quickly to see where you are (and bringing it up this way doesn't stop your movement). <!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
