=== Tactical Doctrine trend ===

Due to the fact that The Big Deuce is and always has been the smallest of the battle groups, fleet composition, tactics and techniques needed to be adjusted to accommodate. Larger fleets when they do occur will be more of an exception than the norm. The trend amongst The Big Deuce is to field "smaller" mixed composition fleets as compared to the other battle groups of the ILN. This can most likely be attributed to a combination of Command team preferences and the membership available within this timezone. Either way, the members of the Big Deuce seem to enjoy flying more advanced ships in small gangs with a mindset towards experimenting with non-standard tactics and ship type/fit combinations.

When full scale ILN mobilisations are called for to protect the Ivy League, it's assets, and allies; this mindset for more advanced ships comes to the fore as significant portions of the advanced ships fielded in a combined effort are flown by pilots from The Big Deuce.

=== The Yamir Ke'Shark volunteering days (2011-01-11 until 2011-06-12) ===

Yamir Ke'Shark stepped up from ~~his~~ position of Executive Officer to the role of Commanding Officer on 2011-01-11 and set about filling the many vacant positions in the command staff of The Big Deuce whilst running events, teaching, leading fleets, and supervising the training department. Having started off as a victim of the FC of the Week program, he moved on into the command staff as the Intelligence Officer (N2) and slowly moved through the roles and positions up until ~~this point~~. ~~Having~~ succesfully filled all the command staff positions on 2011-05-08 an event to hunt the CO and XO was planned which involved the loss of approximately 2 billion ISK worth of ships in a constant four hour period of combat against the ~~rest of the battlegroup~~ and any other willing victims/volunteers. After a few more weeks the decision to leave EVE University was made and plans to leave the battlegroup in capable hands were started.
