INTRODUCTION

Greetings to all who read this. I am GySgt Buckhana from the 15th MEU Realism Unit. If you're tired of groups or MEU units that don't make the cut after a couple months, then you should check us out. If you want a rank structure that doesn't promote because you were on the Captain's good side, then check us out. If you don't want a group with 7 Generals, 8 Lieutenants and 3 Privates, check us out. We take pride in our realistic atmosphere and trainings while not sacrificing the fun of the game and being in a group. Our unit was born on June 21, 2007 in Armed Assault: Combat Operations and has around 30 members active at the moment. With personnel in reserve status, it is about 40. We usually do CoOp missions. We are currently about to go onto deployment in an Operation named: Operation Radiant Arrow. What happens in a previous mission affects the next mission. Just like a real MEU, we earned our Special Operations Capable (SOC) designation before going onto deployment instead of just throwing it on like many units like to do.

What You Will Find In the 15th MEU (SOC)

* Access to two Armed Assault servers running on Art of War Dedicated Servers. One public server provides a great place to relax and play and recruit new members. One locked server running 15th MEU specific training maps provides the stomping grounds for realistic training and serious play.

* A Teamspeak 3 voice server.

* Active members and Staff who work to keep all members and new joins interested and engaged. Weekly unit training events get all elements of the unit together to train. Light Training events throughout the week focus on the individual elements.

* A focused and in depth basic training course to acquaint new recruits with the structure of the 15th, SOPs, Chain of Command and basic infantry skills. Once passing basic and earning the rank of Private, Hospitalman Recruit, or Student Naval Pilot, members will be assigned to a team or flight school for further specialized training.

* Opportunities for continued training and advancement. Infantry leadership courses for Fireteam Leaders, Squad Leaders. Officer Training Courses for Enlisted members to train into command roles. Active promotion schedules.

* A sharp and professional website with active posting and a handy calendar to keep track of events. A Squad XML roster that is updated diligently, found at http://www.15thmeu.net/squad/squad.xml

* Friendly help with training in game, and also with out of game issues. We're here for ya.

* And most of all, a fun group to kick back and enjoy a great game with. No crazy requirements or ridiculous mandates for belonging, just some simple courtesies and respect all around.

Information Update

[Blade89 10]

Update: Our forums weren't allowing people to register. The problem has been fixed. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused anyone who was interested.

[Blade89 10]

Update: We now have a second server up.

15th MEU Recruiting 2(IP: 69.162.80.82 Port: 2303)

Looking for some crewman for ground vehicles and some infantry. Join today!

[Blade89 10]

Our unit has finally finished moving over to ARMA II and are starting up operations. We're doing another CAX (combined arms exercise) before moving on to SOC qualification's.

Thanks to all of you guys who played on our servers helping us test out which provider would run best for us: We have 3 servers now, the Recruiting Server for public play, the Drill Server for in-house things and Proving Grounds for testing.

Expect to see videos soon (much better quality this time around ;) )

[Blade89 10]

Any complaints you have, please send them to our main website at www.15thMEU.net or pm me with on this forum. This thread is for updates only. Just saying guys doesn't tell us who it is either by the way.

[Blade89 10]

Update: Our last 2 CAX's. We are about to begin the SOCEX and then start an Operation. It has a story and you can follow it by visiting our front page on our website. There will be much more information later and lot's more videos to come for your enjoyment but for now, enjoy these.

This first one has a moderate amount of comms in it.

Update: Well, we're halfway through the SOCEX and on to getting our SOC designation. There is a playlist dedicated to the SOCEX for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy.

SOCEX Qualifications Playlist

SOCEX IIB has to be redone which is why it's not in the list.

Also, another promotion video, but this one is for the Aviation Combat Element.

Also, server information has been updated:

- 15th MEU Recruiting (IP: 69.12.63.43 :2307)

- 15th MEU Drill (IP: 69.12.63.43 :2302)

Happy holidays to all. :)

[Blade89 10]

Howdy all.

It is done. We have finished our final SOCEX mission and have earned our SOC Designation. The next step is to go onto deployment which we will be doing after our break this December. The operation is called Radiant Arrow so join up. Also, our name is changed to reflect our new status: 15th MEU (SOC) Realism Unit . You can see the final missions, SOCEX III and SOCEX IV, in the video suite that we made: SOCEX 2009

[Blade89 10]

Update 23FEB10:

Real life issues for the Campaign Designer have prevented us from starting the Radiant Arrow Campaign however, we're still doing missions. We've revamped our applicant process to help new guys be "Ready Out of the Gate" so to speak. More so than the previous system where you only got Basic Infantry. Now you do Basic Infantry, and then a few other things before being placed somewhere. Your time as a Recruit though is still the same.

We are also looking for Combat Engineers. There are a lot of open slots in there. Also, the air side has been closed for a couple of weeks to allow for ground side strength to build back up but the time is near for it to open yet again.

Our main servers are also down for maintenance but a few members are allowing us to continue doing missions by providing their own servers for our use. A few of them are public. Just join our vent and you can get the information. :)

Also, wanted to thank the ACE 2 team and ZEUS A.I. team for their work. It made this Sunday's mission an awesome one:

On a personal note, thanks to the CSM 2 Team and TRSM team for their sound mods. :)

Redo of CAX 02-10 is going to occur soon. And 03-10 will follow after shortly.

Expect videos.. ;)

We currently have app. 60 active duty (not including reserves) members and are always looking for more.

See first few posts for more information on how to join.

Howdy all. Just a small update to the quick update.

Server News:

In an effort to try something different than our normal routine, we're going to start using missions built in-house for our public servers. So Domination is going to be taking a break. With these missions, we hope to introduce public players to how our unit operates and uses it's sections and hopefully give a fun and realistic experience with lot's of teamwork.

Our first "theme" is Light Armored Reconnaissance and Tanks. We have a couple missions ready to go and if you wish to play them, stop on by our ventrilo today, April 3rd, 2010 @1900 U.S. CST (7:00 pm U.S. CST) and we will help you find our server. Although, you can just search "15th" in the browsers and you'll find our servers. If you miss this chance, do not worry as we'll have many more and we will be rotating these missions in and out all week.

Operations

US SOCOM has approached us with the possibility of doing a joint combined arms exercise with them this month of April. We are in the midst of setting it up now. Expect videos and pictures.

Recruiting

Currently, we are looking to recruit mostly (but not only) Rifle Platoon Infantry, LAR Scouts and Crewmen, and AAV Crewmen.

If none of these billets interest you, check our website for other roles that you may take up.

Logistics

Finally, we are proud to announce the opening of the Supporting Arms Liaison Team. With this opening brings a new MOS joining our list of billets:

It's been a while since we updated. A lot of stuff has happened.

The 15th and Arrowhead

Addons Used:

ANZIS Weapons

Desert Marines

A-Stan Marines

ARMA 2

Operation Arrowhead

ZEUS A.I.

They all helped with the creation of the video with the creation of their content.

Operation Rapid Justice

Misc

Our very own 2ndLt Phillips and Capt Charlin have worked on an addon to help with deploying on the water. They have spent a few months on it and it's finally ready to go. More details to come along with videos of the deployment.

Happy birthday 15thMEU(SOC) Realism Unit!

It was four years ago that Col Savage and Col Schultz (then 1stLt's) opened our doors. On 20JUN07, we acquired website hosting. On 21JUN07, at 1247 hours, we brought our website online and opened our forum for new registrations. Since then more than 500 members have passed through our halls. Congrats to all who made it possible.

News from Operation Emerald Beacon:

The 15th now controls Faruz Abad and the MSR north all the way to Rasman. We have recently established FOB Dragon east of Faruz Abad to conduct operations into rebel held southern Takistan.

A rebel armor column assaulted into the eastern provinces last night catching the Takistani loyalists off-guard. USAF A-10s were dispatched and made quick work of the rebel formations but not before heavy casualties were inflicted on the loyalists. This, once again, proves that air power alone will not be enough to deny the enemy freedom of movement. The strategic threat such incursions pose is limited, as last night's results show, but public opinion is a completely different battlefield. If the rebels are allowed to perform these types of assaults in the future we will lose this war as a political inevitability.

Efforts are underway to identify the greatest concentrations of rebel activity for a possible ground offensive.

Important News

Just a quick update. We have shutdown our ventrillo server and moved to a Teamspeak 3 server. The information can be found in the first post. Also, we have adopted the Advanced Combat Radio Environment (ACRE) mod for use in our public and private missions.

To help with the transition, we have added a resource button at the top of our website forums to speed up the process in playing games with us.

Operation Emerald Beacon is still ongoing and we are still posting videos of it from both BluFor and OpFor perspectives as usual. There is a playlist for the operation now on our youtube page.

[django333 10]

Operation: Emerald Beacon has been successfully completed and the 15th has completed operations in Takistan for the time being. Upcoming unit wide events will be a series of CAX's in Chernarus and possibly Lingor. Our youtube page will soon be updated to include a play list of every mission (12 total) in Operation: Emerald Beacon.

We have also added new Insurgency missions to our recruiting server that will be running 24 hours a day. They have been edited in house to include USMC units and assets.

The missions are:

Fallujah Insurgency

Zargabad Insurgency

Takistan Insurgency

Isla Duala Insurgency (coming soon)

Lingor Insurgency (coming soon)

As always, we are actively recruiting. Check the first page for TS3 and server info and visit our website to fill out an application.

[django333 10]

We have opened up recruiting to pilots and corpsmen. So you can now join straight to any available pilot or corpsman billet without having to serve the mandatory thirty days in the rifle platoon first. We are also in need of LAV crewmen (0313), machine gunners (0331) and assault men (0351). There are several other billets open so check our website for availability. As always we are recruiting riflemen (0311).

With Operation: Emerald Beacon complete we have returned to Chernarus for a series of CAX's (Combined Arms Exercise). It's nice getting back in the woods! We will more than likely have to return to Takistan as the situation there has continued to deteriorate since the bulk of American forces pulled out.

15th Lingor Insurgency is complete and running on our recruiting server. Just filter "15th" to find it and join us for some coop. The only required mods are Lingor (obviously), ACE and ACRE. Our TS info can be found on the first page of this thread.

[django333 10]

The 15th finished our last CAX of the year last Sunday and we will be going on Holiday stand down on December 15th. When we come back from break in January we will start another series of CAX's to prepare for a deployment to an as of yet unannounced warzone.

We will be holding one more "fun" event for the year next Sunday (12/18/11) in the form of a race/scavenger hunt across Chernarus.

We have also made some major changes to our unit structure recently. We have closed down 3rd Plt, Alpha Co (Force Recon) and most of it's previous members have moved to 2nd Plt, Charlie Co (LAR). We have also closed our Engineering detachment. Also, for the first time in our units history we have opened a two man scout/sniper team to be headed up by former Force Recon, Sgt Koch. And last but not least we have reopened the mortar team.

There have recently been some major changes to our officer corps as well. Capt Penny has taken over as MEU CO, LtCol Starck is the new MEU XO, and SgtMaj Rittenhouse is the new MEU SgtMaj. Capt Leber has taken over the infantry detachment as commanding officer of Echo Co, 2ndLt Steel is the new commander of 1st Plt, Echo Co (Rifles), GySgt Drumheller is 1st Plt, Echo Co's new 1stSgt, 1stLt Sledge is the new commander of 4th Plt, Echo Co (Weapons), and 2ndLt Gambino is the new commander of 2nd Plt, Delta Co (Tanks).

As always, we are actively recruiting. Visit our website to view available billets and fill out an application.
