This mod lets you command three squads of soldiers on the ground, a Vertibird for air support, and a Vertibird player transport. It's pretty much free play with no restrictions. Cause mayhem as you please or roleplay as you see fit. You have four Factions to choose from, for your squad members.
The various soldier types don't care about your reputation with any group, or your karma. They are loyal only to you and are faction and teammate identical to other followers. They also play nice with other followers as long as those companions are in the Team-mate faction. This mod isn't meant for low level characters but I leave that up to you.

The original Enclave Commander mod is for Fallout 3, by J3X - Fallout3nexus.com. This New Vegas Edition is based on, and is a continued version from, .90 of that mod. All FO3 dependencies have been removed. Some armor/weapon items that are still in the New Vegas BSA files have been restored as items in the Geck and used.
The controls for this version have changed a little from the FO3 version so you should read this even if you have played the FO3 mod. The wheel is not used as soldiers already have a menu.
Suggestions for features, enhancements, etc are welcome.

III. In FOMM - Similarly, 'Add mod from file' - add the zip file and activate it.
IV. In FOMM or NMM, check the box for the esm, and adjust the load order of EnclaveCommanderNV.esm so it is up with your other esm files. Setting it anywhere in this area should be fine as long as it is below your main FalloutNV.esm and the DLC's.
USING THE MOD:
You can command up to three squads. Each squad can have their individual orders, or you can command them all together.
You can command individual soldiers. When a soldier in in 'individual' mode, they ignore squad commands until you order them to 'rejoin squad command'. Use this to have one or two units that always follow you regardless of their current squad order, for example.
Squad membership for a particular soldier never changes.
Dead soldiers clean up when the cell resets. When you dismiss live soldiers with 'Back to base', they run off and are moved to a remote cell for immediate deletion.
Soldier Factions that you can choose:
- Enclave
- BOS
- NCR
- American Army
Each Faction in turn has several types of soldiers:
- Soldier: Standard Ranged Assault
- Eliminator: Melee or Short-Ranged Guns
- Exterminator: Heavy Ranged Weapons
- Annihilator: Missile Unit
- Support Units:
- Stealth/Sniper
- Scientist/Engineer
- Mr Gutsy (American Army)
New soldiers spawn with better weapons as you level up.
Three items will be added to your Apparel inventory when you start your game:
EC-Command Radio
EC-Move Markers
EC-Options
