2 PARA is a new, British Realism unit based in ArmA 2. Our aim is to provide a realistic, and professional experience to all of our members through our high quality missions every Wednesday and Saturday at 7pm GMT. We use a variety of mods, such as ACE, ACRE and our own pack of various mods featuring vehicles such as the Foxhound and Ridgeback. We have some basic requirements we ask from people joining, but the most important is for people to be mature when we are playing.

• Any age, but mature | We do allow young people, as long as they can be mature. But anyone under 15 will be monitored for 2 weeks to ensure they are complying to this
  
• Working Microphone
  
• Own Arma 2 and Arma 2 : Operation Arrowhead
  
• Speak English fluently
  
• Can attend trainings/missions Wednesday and Saturday at 7pm GMT
  
• Willing to learn and stick around
  

As we are so new, we are still working out how to modify existing British Army combat procedure to fit the game, but we are trying to fit it as close to reality as possible which is something that some of our members have not been able to see in other clans. Although of main aim is to have fun, by a realistic experience, we also aim to be really professional and efficient. The ranks we have are what I call 'functional'. They only exist to fit their own function. For example, as we are only up to one section currently, there is only a need for a Cpl to lead them, as thats what a section commander would be. But there won't be a need to call anyone 'Sir'. We also are based on the Parachute Regiment, therefore our role in conventional warfare will be paradrops and air assaults mainly, and in counter insurgency campaigns, we will most likely be doing what most modern forces do in conflicts like Afghanistan and Iraq.

Although we like people that enjoy the British element particularly and are more well suited to give them what they want, we also are happy to have anyone that is looking for a realistic experience. If you are new to the game, we will also invest a lot of time in to getting you up to speed with everyone else. There is also going to be a flight group as we are a PARA unit, for our paradrops and air assaults. Our already group of active people are always sitting on our Teamspeak playing games and enjoying themselves outside of Arma.

And if this post has managed to persuade you to sign up or at least ask a few more questions of what we can do for you, then either sign up on the website - www.2-para.co.uk - or, add me on Steam - razer313

Hope to see you soon! And thanks for reading,

2 PARA has now grown to the size of two active sections. We are also starting to conduct official organised trainings every Wednesday and Saturday, and have a training on Wednesday covering the basics to more advanced procedures such as fast roping and driving. Every Saturday we are doing a mission or PvP which has a specific topic to practice, such as parachuting. We also are preparing for a new campaign starting in next two weeks which we are currently preparing for, but we hope to have two full sections including the flight section.

We are also looking to form a specialist Pathfinder team, which will involve 4/5 guys that HALO jump into a DZ for the main force and secure the DZ and maybe mark it with items such as IR strobes, Chemlight or smoke grenades. They also will be asked to conduct specialist operations with things like destroying bridges, dropping behind enemy lines to cause distractions and have a sniper team to provide support to the main 2 PARA force. This can be applied for straight after your basic training but will involve a bit of experience in the game beforehand to make sure you can conduct the mission by yourself if needed.

We are also still looking for people that can lead men, as we are still needing 3 more NCO's to complete our platoon structure. We are also looking for people that are interested in radios and doing more advanced support features such as Mortars, Artillery, Vehicles/Armour, Forward Air Controllers/JTAC's and Forward Observers. If you are just interested in those roles, we can give you the necessary training to do them if you cannot currently do them.

If you have any questions, then please do ask me on Steam - razer313, sign up to our website or visit our Teamspeak here - 31.186.250.187

Thanks!
