Comprising of reconnaissance specialists, manoeuvre fire support infantrymen, attached artillery spotters, gunners, forward air controllers, pilots and medics, 7XBRF-GU operate in a fully Combined Arms environment that can satisfy the tastes of all serious realism gamers.

If you are looking for a realistic gaming experience that uses structure and a level of command and control to enhance gameplay, a gaming experience that uses a human controlled enemy force to maintain tempo, puts the level of immersion into the hands of the individual with a choice of career streams, then 7XBRF-GU may just be the one you are looking for.

Membership within 7XBRF-GU is a two way relationship focussed on honesty, respect and having fun. Like any gaming unit there are minimum requirements, however in 7XBRF-GU these coexist with an understanding that real life requirements must take priority. 7XBRF-GU is a gaming community for people that want to escape, play Arma as it should be played, not be restricted by inane rules and procedures and not waste their valuable time with players that chase high scores at the expense of good cooperation and teamwork.

So what are the main force elements of the 7XBRF-GU?

The 7XBRF-GU primarily has a main fighting force (the BRF) and supporting assets. 1st and 2nd Troop from B Squadron of the 9th/12th Royal Lancers form the basis of the 7XBRF-GU, these two troops are supported by a Fire Support Group from an infantry platoon (Pl) from 4 Scots (4th Battalion, Royal Regiment of Scotland) . Integrated with these 3 main force elements are a Fire Support Team (FST) and Desert Hawk 3 (DH3) detachment acting as key enablers to provide specialist Joint Fires support from supporting air and land assets and immediate surveillance and target acquisition through the use of the DH3 Unmanned Air System.

The main force element of the 7XBRF-GU primarily deploy mounted in Jackals, however they will also deploy in the dismounted close combat role when required and conduct air assault operations to disrupt enemy forces when terrain and time restraints affect mission planning.

During all missions and operations the main force element (the BRF) is supported from air and land assets found within 7XBRF-GU. 108 Expeditionary Air Wing (EAW) offers both fixed wing and rotary aviation to provide Close Air Support (CAS), Close Combat Attack (CCA), Combat Service Support (CSS) and Air manoeuvre support. Elements of N and D Battery, 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery provides indirect fire support (IDF) and manpower for the FST and DH3 Det attached to the BRF.

What can you do in 7XBRF-GU?

For each new member joining 7XBRF-GU there are a range of roles to choose. From Machine-gunners to Troop Commanders, Attack helicopter co-pilot gunners to Forward Air Controllers, mortarmen and drivers, these are just a few of the options available to all members of the 7XBRF-GU upon completion of the relevant training.

To accommodate the complexity of a BRF into a realism gaming unit and to ensure that every role played is fulfilling, relevant and enjoyable, the Orbat of the 7XBRF-GU is based on a 50% scale 2 troop construct of a real life BRF. The Tactics, Techniques and Procedures (TTPs) used within 7XBRF-GU are based on those used by the British Army. All TTPs are chosen to enhance an enjoyable realistic gaming experience, the aim is to have fun through coordination.

What’s different about 7XBRF-GU from other realism GUs?

To ensure a level of enjoyment is maintained and that operations and missions are dynamic, 7XBRF-GU has an active Operational Training and Advisory Group (OPTAG). This OPTAG provides support during Mission Specific and Pre-deployment Training (MST, PDT) and acts as human opposition forces alongside the Computer Generated Forces (CGF). Missions and training are monitored and tailored in real time to maintain a level of gameplay that is both dynamic and responsible in its application of enemy TTPs to maintain a positive gaming experience for all members of the 7XBRF-GU.
