J. McCormick 10 Posted July 21, 2013 3rd Special Forces Group (Airborne) voice.gameservers.com:9248 (pass: bravo)3sfg.webs.com Introduction The 3rd Special Forces Group is a realism unit for ARMA 2: Combined Operations. It has been designed from the outset to create a realistic environment for players, while preserving fun and an excellent gameplay experience. The 3rd SFG is comprised of three main detachments - an armored cavalry battalion, a ranger battalion, and a special forces aviation company of the U.S. Army. As of now, only the Rangers are available for enlistment opportunities, but transfers may be accepted to aviation or armored cavalry at a later date. Basic Organization It is known that a real-life SFG is comprised only of Green Berets, and that they are an elite group of warriors - we know this. However, ARMA 2 is a military simulation game, and being such we've decided to follow in the footsteps of others before us, and we have changed the layout of our SFG to better meet the needs of the combat environment in ARMA 2. As of now, our unit is designed to field a platoon of U.S. Army Rangers (40 men), an armored recon section of Cavalry Scouts (15-20 men), and an aviation section of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters. This organization gives us a healthy balance of armor and infantry, special forces, and aviation - which combine to create a deadly fighting force. Trainings The 3rd SFG has a system of training which is designed to weed out members who don't want to put it in the time and energy of being part of this unit. Training begins for new recruits at our Basic Combat Training base, where recruits learn the following values over 7 days - Basic Army Values Basic Rifleman Skills Land Navigation Radio Skills Convoy Operation Skills Combat Tactics & Skills Once you graduate BCT, you advance to either AIT (Advanced Individual Training) or RASP (Ranger Assessment & Selection Program). Both are grueling courses, time consuming but instructive and constructive to building successful Rangers, Cav Scouts, and Aviators. RASP is an 11-day course designed to create some of the most skilled Rangers in ARMA 2. Potential Rangers cover advanced infantry tactics, airborne jumps, hostage rescues, advanced weapons training, close quarters combat and MOUT, air assault, and raid exercises. RASP is designed to create top-notch soldiers after BCT. NOTE: If you do not complete RASP, you will be given two options - transfer MOS's to Cavalry Scout, and serve as a basic infantryman or crewman, or resign from the unit and be on your way. There's no shame in not being able to complete RASP, as it is a truly difficult course to complete and only the best make it through. AIT is a 7 day course that teaches Cav Scouts land navigation, crewman and infantry skills, rifle marksmanship, anti-tank skills, and the fundamentals of operating M2A3 Bradley IFV's in ARMA 2. It is significantly less challenging when compared to RASP, but also does not qualify you for any type of Special Forces operations. Unit History Though the 3rd SFG was founded recently, it has been in the planning phase for several months, and several units have lead to its creation. There's really not much else to say on this subject, as not much has happened, so this will be updated regularly once we start having things to place here. Enlistment Enlisting with the 3rd is kept as short and simple as possible - there's no interviews, no game time required to join. All you need to do is meet our requirements and fill out an application on our website. Requirements: At least 16 years of age A legal copy of ARMA 2: Combined Operations (ARMA 2+Operation Arrowhead) A working microphone and copy of Teamspeak 3 Willing to work in a team environment Willing to spend time and effort within the unit Willing to accept orders from higher ranks Things to Remember The most important fact of the 3rd SFG, is that we are a realism unit - we are not the real U.S. Military. You will be referred to by your rank and name, or simply your name depending on who is speaking to you - it's a fact. And because we're on the internet and people are diverse, you may not like everyone in the unit - don't cause a problem, or you will be given a larger problem than the one you created.
