Rodrigo68 17 Posted August 9, 2020 Special Operations Group The Special Operations Group is an attempt to make a small group of like-minded individuals able to focus on realism and gameplay without requiring a large player base. Operations focus on small unit tactics, diverse covert mission sets, players utilizing multiple skills, and joint operations with like-minded units to facilitate larger operations.[/h1] SOG strives to create a balance between extreme realism and game play within the world of Arma. We seek to keep our unit small and tight nit, in order to form a brotherhood in the game and out. Operations are detailed, varied, and realistic. You won't find yourself in Takistan for the 8th time. Our core group of members have been playing with each other for several years. Most are US Army and Marine Corp Veterans who have served overseas. With that being said, we are looking for service members, veterans and experienced Arma players to fill the few slots remaining on our teams and aviation. We do not want to train new players. Background: The Special Operations Group or SOG is the clandestine action arm of the CIA, they have recently come into public viewing but SOG/SAD operatives trace their origins to the OSS and MACV/SOG in Vietnam. SAD operatives paved the way for operations in Afghanistan and facilitated the capture of Osama Bin Laden. Organization: Our SOG loosely attempts to replicate operations and organization of the CIA’s Ground and Air Branch. SOG is organized into small teams of 4, composed of “Operators” utilizing multiple assigned “Skills”. Teams will be organized in an ODA fashion where every operator has a specific role to carry out besides being just another shooter. Aside from their assigned role, operators will have an additional skill that they are cross-trained on to facilitate a wide variety of operations with a very small team. For example, your assigned Weapons operator might also hold the “Medical Skill” and can act as an alternate medic if the team splits or the primary medic is down. Roles and positions can be rotated after a set of operations if members want to step up or down from assigned slots. Operations: Operations are conducted once a week. Weekly missions are organized into 1-3 part “Operations” and will begin with gathering intel on a specific target or objective and culminate with actions against the assigned objective. Operations separated into 1 to 3 parts will ensure that maps and missions don't get stale or repetitive. A combination of Zeus and ALIVE missions will allow mission makers to take part in the action. Membership: To become a member you must simply pass a short selection process… But once you complete this selection you will be assigned to ‘Global Response Staff’ or GRS. GRS will serve a dual purpose. It will be a platform for individuals who want to be full-time members to train and apply for a position on a team after a time period has elapsed and optional training has been completed. Members who do not have enough time to commit regularly to the group can remain in GRS and play when they are available. However, if you are assigned to GRS you will not have a set position within a team and you are slotted on an as-needed basis. This provides “Tiers” in membership the players can be assigned to if they're schedule does not permit full time activity. It also allows members to strive to ascend onto a full-time team. Members who meet the requirements to be assigned to a full-time team will be titled Special Skills Operatiors. They will be assigned a team, position, and call sign. If a full-time member does not meet the allotted requirements, they will be reassigned to GRS until they can once again meet the requirements. This allows unit leadership to identify a solid player base and adjust operation scale and recruiting efforts. Dual clanning is allowed.Decision Making: Most Arma units fail due to dissension, lack of communication, and egos. All major unit decisions will be conducted by a vote. All full-time members will be allotted one vote, regardless of position. For example, the current team leader sucks? Vote him out, Want a new mod in the pack? Vote for it. This will ensure that one member isn’t calling all the shots and leaving other members with lesser experience. Recruitment: As always we are striving to find like-minded individuals who want to play Arma tactically. Our focus is to find a quality, not quantity. Veterans and experienced Arma players will be targeted, and those, not savvy enough will be weeded out through the selection process. 99% Need Not Apply Message me for more information or join our DiscordYoutube: Operation Pulwar 04 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
