The Altis Infantry Regiment can trace its origins back to the 1st Infantry battalion in WW2, in the 1960s Altis ask several county including the UK and US to help reorganize its Armed force most county said no but the commonwealth of Australia said they would help and in 1963 the Altis Infantry Regiment was raised first comprising only one battalion but with Compulsory service introduced in 1964 the raised a further 7 battalions but in 1970 it was scaled back to 4 battalions.

Combat Support Battalion

The Combat Support Battalion or CSB is the one more new unit in the AAF Formed in 2008 the Battalion is based on the Australian army 17th Combat Service Support Brigade the Battalion is split into 7 Combat Support Company with each company made up of a medical platoon, Signal platoon, Supply platoon, transport platoon and a Admin Platoon the battalion is the largest unit in the AAF.

Very fictitious indeed, the AAF are about the size of a single battalion and they've formed 5 years prior to events of ArmA 3.

[AIF_Infantrymen 264]

UPDATE:

112th & 111th Medical Battalion

The 112th & 111th Medical Battalion are field hospital of the AAF, the 111th was formed in 1966 and the 112th in 1996 both battalion comprise of about 110 personnel and has 4 company/Wards/Units cosseting of a Post-op/General Ward, Intensive care/Emergency unit, Surgery unit and Administration unit with 35 personnel each (10 personnel for the Administration).

[silentghoust 132]

Couple issues, like Sub-Human said the AAF is only a battalion sized force. This isn't necessary because they are "new" but also the population of the island is pretty small. Consisting of around 20,000(correct me if this is pre-civil war numbers). Which is how BI justifies having so many empty towns, lack of constant civilian presence, ect. A Battalion is about 1000 give or take a few extra 100 men. A regiment is about two battalions at it's smallest, so your essentially creating a army that is the same amount of the population. Meaning just 1 of your divisions is 3/4 of the entire altis population

[AIF_Infantrymen 264]

I don't see how theirs an issues I know what AAF size is in the campaign if look at my first post I was bored one day so I decide to do a what if.... that all

[chiefboatsret 14]

Sort of a "Dear Diary" kind of thread.

[AIF_Infantrymen 264]

sort of but no not rely just finger of Imagination

[Jafit 10]

You have to wonder where they get their funding from.

The real life Lemnos only has a population of 18000, and they don't seem to have any oil. How can they afford an army like that?

[zimms 22]

Maybe allowing CSAT to perform extremely dangerous experiments on their island has some advantages.

Yup, in fact according to BI it's based more or less in Maltian Armed Forces. ( notice that half of the "regiments" are underpowered, and that are filled with reservist in case of need )

In fact Altis would have less than 50.000 inhabitants, so it would make no sense that they had Divisions ( which usually consist in about 20.000-40.000 soldiers ).

[AIF_Infantrymen 264]

I do have to ask why dos everyone, keep tell me in a way that I have done something wrong if you read the title it says fictitious

AAF are were part of NATO before shit hit the fan. More than likely backed by the European side of NATO seeing as how their equipment is mostly European.

Maltan Armed Forces

Malta would actually be quite a nice Arma3 map and setting. It's smaller than Lemnos/Altis, but has a much higher population and more urbanization.

[chortles 263]

The two things that strike me even more than that are:

#1: Apparently AAF is following the pre-and-during-WW2 US model in military aviation as an Army component (USAF was post-WW2).

#2: The seeming complete omission of any maritime component, which stands out even moreso because of the Altian air component.

Arma has always seemed to omit maritime components, but Arma's gameplay focuses on Infantry, which doesn't really seem to have much of a role in naval warfare

When I was bored one day, I also created structure of AAF ;)

You can display it in game by calling this code:

[configfile >> "CfgORBAT" >> "BIS" >> "I_AAF"] call bis_fnc_ORBATopen;

Also, It can be accessed in most of campaign missions by clicking on AAF NATO symbols on the map.

Bravo COmpany was event part of Task Force Aegis.
