The attendance procedures of the Flying Tigers can be roughly divided into two types: 1.

In case of emergency (such as gunfight between police and bandits, hostage taking, etc.). ), you can directly ask the director of the Flying Tigers for help and report to the deputy director of the War Department.
Flying Tigers usually evaluate the nature of the task before going on duty, and then decide on weapons and equipment and attendance. If members of the Flying Tigers need to take part in work after work or at rest, the personnel on duty will send a set of passwords to all pagers of the Flying Tigers members through the computer (in order to avoid data leakage and whereabouts exposure, this set of passwords will not be paged through ordinary telecommunications companies).
When all the flying tigers call back from the main station to ask about the assembly place, the duty officer will load the needed tools, weapons, ammunition and equipment into the car and go to the assembly place. When all the personnel arrive, the tasks and plans will be assigned, so you will see the members of the Flying Tigers wearing casual clothes, tactical vests and hoods to perform their tasks.
