Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted September 22, 2009 (edited) 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment - Delta: The closest thing that you can get to the real thing. Many of our Operators serve or have served in the military worldwide. Our objective is to train and operate in-game as a single unit. If Tactics, Teamwork, and Strategy is what you want, then U.S.SOCOM is for you. You will learn many of the tactics the military teaches, you will learn how to properly execute them and YOU WILL use them in game with the other Soldiers of U.S.SOCOM. We have recently added a new unit to U.S.SOCOM. This new unit is called the 75th Ranger Regiment and it has less training than the 7th Special Forces Group Training. You only have to go through RASP and Ranger School. We welcome anyone to come check us out. We expect to dominate in ArmA2 because of our superior tactics and teamwork and our confident attitude. Basic Training Course is 7 days long. This entails Basic land navigation abilities, communication, weapons, weapons qualification, formations, individual/team/squad movement techniques, and much more. Ranger School: RASP - Land Navigation Ranger School - Small Unit Tactics which includes Ambush, Assualting, Defense Tactics and much more. SERE - A survival course we teach, that every soldier must go through. We have 5 phases of Special Forces Training (Qualification Course) that all recruits must go through: Phase 1: Special Forces Operational Assessment & Selection (SFAS) includes Land Navigation Phase 2: Small Unit Tactics (SUT) includes Ambush, Assaulting, Defense Tactics and much more Phase 3: Warrior Leadership Course and Individual Training Course (WLC & ITC) Phase 4: Specialty Training (PMOS) which is training in your MOS. Phase 5: Robin Sage which is a SF Mission you must complete to pass to be a SF Operator Phase 6: SERE which is a survival course we teach, that every soldier must go through. 160th SOAR has training for its crew and its pilots. Pilots training is broken up into 3 parts, Basic, Advanced and Expert. Each part builds onto the next. Teaching basic flying skills to much more advanced skills and tactics. Each part of this course is about 4 -6 days long. Crewmen training is a 4 day course that teaches communication, gunning, navigating and much more. CSAR/ParaRescue is also under SOAR, and these as small fireteams that work with SOAR to go out and execute search and rescue jobs during missions *Note: There are separate Training times for Eastern and Western Hemisphere Operators. We have several DMOS including Map Editing, Recruiting, Drill Instructors and Graphical Design and much more. We have several Additional Skill Identifiers (ASIs), Special Qualification Indentifiers (SQIs), MOSs, and each MOS has a Skill Level that will level up as you get better at your job. We have Operators from all over the world including the US, Canada and the EU. We have squads (ODA's) for both Western and Eastern Hemisphere Operators. Note: Operators that Serve or have Served in the military (for any country) will be given extra perks that non-servicemen will never receive in our unit, regardless of their rank in the unit.

Copson-SFOD-D- 10 Posted January 29, 2010 We have had some major changes over the past month or so. First and foremost to aid realisma and add the potential for expansion we are now known as United States Special Operations Command. In essence this changes very little however some things have changes so here is a run down of how we are structured and the units within us. 1st SFOD-D:- This is our most elite unit that is made up of specific people selected from our other units 7th SFG:- This is our primary Special Forces unit. You can choose to apply for this after you complete BCT 75th Ranger Regiment:- This is our infantry unit, it also includes our armoured and mechanized unit both of which can be applied for after BCT. 160th SOAR:- This is our Aviation unit where we have both rotary and fixed wing pilots and also aircrew. You can choose to apply for this after BCT. We have added and changed some training to accommodate for the changes. We have purchased a new 64 Slot server which we are nearing completion of our custom map for. The server is from a highly recommended comapany which serves several other units. It is hosted on its own box so there is no lag even for european players. It of course has the latest version of the ACE 2 mod. U.S.SOCOM ACE 2 Server IP: 64.120.28.178:2302 Or click filter and type U.S.SOCOM Our final change is to our site in which we have now completed our completely custom site theme. There are still a few bugs in it so if you see any please do not be alarmed and inform us in our forums. We hope you like the changes and will join us Maj Copson 160th SOAR Commanding Officer PAO Commanding Officer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copson-SFOD-D- 10 Posted March 7, 2010 We have been doing extremely well over the past few weeks. We have recruited roughly 15-20 people with many other applications being processed as we speak. So now is an excellent time to become part of USSOCOM. We hav also just purchased a new 14 slot server for the purposes of training and map development. This has helped us a lot in getting all these guys trained up and is purchased from the same host as our main server so has absolutely no lag or anything else. For this new server a whole host of new dedicated training maps for each area of training. These are very nicely made and have been worked on very hard by our members. At the moment we are paticularly looking for guys who want to be a part of our 75th Rangers unit and also our Armoured units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copson-SFOD-D- 10 Posted March 12, 2010 We are urgently looking for more people who wish to be part of our Research & Development team and create our maps and missions. There is also an oppurtunity to head it up as an NCO or Officer. If there is anybody who would be willing to simply assist with our issues but does not want to donate there time to joining the unit we would also be greatly appreciative.

Copson-SFOD-D- 10 Posted March 29, 2010 Our unit is continuing to fill and grow and now have roughly 30 active members with another 10+ reserves. We now have an almost full ODA for our Special Forces Group and also a good number of people in our 160th SOAR unit. We have started to conduct small one off missions every week to expand our training and apply it to more intense situations. We are also going to be conducting special recruiting sessions every other week where members of the public on our server will be split up into groups with USSOCOM members placed in charge of the group. This is an excellent oppurtunity to see how we operate as a unit and also for our own members to develop there leadership abilities. Our first one is on Saturday 3rd April at 9PM ET, 6PM PT, 1AM GMT. We hope to see you there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted April 30, 2010 (edited) We changed the server config. Now, to get into the server you can ONLY have ACE2 running. We have turned on Signature Verification. If you have any other addons, you will be kicked out. We did this to keep the hackers and other people out. I hope the public understands and will continue to join the server. We hope to have you all join in the future and please feel free to join our TS. We will be allowing other Mods, in the future, but for now it is ONLY ACE2. You can check this thread on our website for additional addons we are allowing on the server.

Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted December 19, 2010 (edited) We here at United States Special Operations Command, would like to announce the expansion to MARSOC and AFSOC. We have expanded into MARSOC and its 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion. They will be tasked with direct action and special recon jobs within U.S.SOCOM. We are excited about the expansion to the Marines and look forward to what it will bring to the unit. Their training is going to consist of 4 Phases, after they complete BCT. After the completion of BCT, the trained Operator will be an E-1 - Private and after the Operator completes MSOS (Marine Special Operations School) they will be an E-2 - Private First Class. Just like all the trainings in U.S.SOCOM we focus around tactics and teamwork. As always, we bring real life knowledge, skill s and tactics to the ArmA2 community. We have expanded into AFSOC and its 1st Special Operations Wing and its 720th Special Tactics Group. The 1st Special Operations Wing is our Fixed wing unit of U.S.SOCOM. They will do all the fixed wing air support(CAS, Air-Air, etc.). The 720th Special Tactics Group is the Pararescue and Tactical Air Control Parties (TACP). Pilots will need to go through TACP school and work their way up to E-4 - Senior Airman, at which point, they could be selected by the Air Force Command to go into Pilot School. Here they will learn to fly a very basic fixed wing plane, taxing, and proper navigation. After Basic Flight Training, they will go onto Advanced and then Expert, where they will get to select the type of plane they want to learn to fly and train in and will learn all the tactics, formations and teamwork needed to fly thier plane and the proper use of it. Pararescue Operators will go through land nav, airborne school, and free fall parachutist school (something all operators must do, excluding armor), paramedic training and recovery specialist course (this encompasses medical care & tactics, and combat tactics. TACP Operators will go through an initial training which is 5 blocks. It will teach you about all the radios and train you on their use and the vehicle radios and their use, you will have field training, Small Unit Tactics training, along with training in calling in air support and weapons systems, and of course field training exercise including close air support planning and execution. Now, because of the additions, there have been some changes as well. No one can join U.S.SOCOM and go straight into SF or SEALs. You must go into one of the following units; Rangers, MARSOC, AFSOC, SOAR, or Armor before you can apply for SF or SEALs training. After completing your training for one of the before mentioned units, you have to spend at least 1 month in that unit before applying for SF or SEALs training. SF and SEALs will only hold their trainings every 3 months. To get into SF, you need to apply for SF and then you will go to an Interview with the SF Command and they will look over your MPF (Military Personnel File) and ask you questions. After you get through the selection, you will then go onto the Q Course and begin your training. This SF training, may repeat some of the training you did previously, but the grading scale is that much harder and you will learn a lot of new stuff as well. SF Q Course takes about 3-4 months to complete. To get into the SEALs, you need to apply and have a recommendation from your Squad Leader or Commanding Officer. You will be able to attend BUD/S at that point. You will be assigned to the next BUD/S class and begin your training when it begins. Again, you may go over stuff you have done already, but the grading scale is a lot harder, making the training that much harder to pass. You will of course learn some new stuff as well. SEALs BUD/S takes about 3 months to complete. Along with these changes, we have added an additional day of training to our BCT and a Radio Operator Training. Our BCT used to be 7 days long, starting in January it is 8 days long, spread over a 3 week period. We have added in a Basic Communications day to teach our new soldiers how to use ACRE properly and proper Comms on the radio, as well. Radio Operator Training will teach designated soldiers how to use long range radios and communicate with HQ and to other squads, call in artillery, and even CAS. Now, they will not have the knowledge of calling in Fixed Wing CAS as the TACP is, but they will have the ability and general knowledge needed to call them in. Now, a lot of people think we go over board with our training. We believe in having well trained operators in the field and not just having basic trained people that just go running and gunning around without any rhyme or reason. We use real world teamwork and tactics and that is what we train everyone in. We are not a unit looking for quantity like most other units, clans, and communities, we want QUALITY soldiers. Quality can trump quantity anytime. This is why our recruitment process and training process is so rigorous and hard, because only the best and dedicated can complete it. If this is what you are looking for, sign up today!!!

Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted March 30, 2011 We have just completed our first operation of our first campaign. Operation New Horizon News Report: This afternoon United States soldiers began a patrol around the air field that the British Forces have secured in the Northwest part of Chernarus. According to Brigadier General Beckwith the operation was a full success. The Rangers along with a small SF detachment went out to secure the villages and try to win the hearts and minds of the Chernarus civilians. They have got some good feedback and information from the civilians and did end up engaging the CMRS in one location. "The engagement was difficult, since the CMRS know the terrain better than we do, but with the highly trained operators we have along with our technology, we feel we have the upper hand.", said Major SlovenianDevil. The Chernarus police force, did have the misfortune of running into the U.S. Military and having 2 of their vehicles disabled. The policemen were safe, but the vehicles were disabled. The General did apologize for the incidents, but the U.S. forces have to be cautious of any vehicles approaching at high speeds. The Police Chief did say, that their was a woman that was kidnapped not to long ago and taken towards "Devil's Castle". He said to us, that they do not have the force to help the woman, they hope the U.S. will be able to help. We asked the General if this would be the next mission for his men, he did not say one way or the other. He just noted that their was a lot of information gathered today and they need to review it before they decide on their next operation. It looks like the U.S. has made a good impression on most of the civilians, the Government, and the U.S. Government seems to all be happy with how this is going, so far...

Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted December 15, 2011 Open Recruitment Call !!! U.S. SOCOM is now holding an open recruitment call for the January Basic Training Course.* This course offers core fundamentals that every soldier needs to know to function in a team/unit environment. On Completion of BCT you can choose your unit and begin your team trainings. Additionally in the team role, you may have the options, to become an RTO, Medic, EOD tech, etc. We have a very active Team Speak which includes game channels, team lounges, and channels that are for collaboration on fun/work tasks. There have been a few changes in USSOCOM over the last 6 months. We have gotten rid of SEAL Team 3 and 7th SFG. The main reason is to limit the amount of units we have in USSOCOM. Current Units: SFOD-D (aka Delta) DEVGRU (Formerly SEAL Team 6) 75th Rangers Regiment 66th Armored Cavalry MARSOC 720th Special Tactics Group 1st Special Operations Wing 160th SOAR As we have stated in the past, Delta you need to get selected into. DEVGRU you can only join from being in MARSOC, as well as a CO recommendation from your MARSOC CO. All other units you can apply for right out of BCT. We have had a lot of changes in USSOCOM over the last 6 months and much has been added, as well. Our Trainings for each unit has become a lot more intense and a lot more detailed. We have training manuals for every training we have, that we have created for each specific unit and MOS. We have specialized trainings for Medics, RTOs, and many other positions that are in the military. All of which has detailed training manuals. We are also happy to announce we have created a Sniper School that is as detailed and difficult as its real life counterpart. Sniper School will teach you how to stalk, engage targets, but also how to break your area down into zones and to designate ground distance markers and much much more. This is one of the longest and hardest trainings in USSOCOM. We have a real life Sniper that has helped to create the training for USSOCOM. We are also happy to announce that we have a European Public Server. We still have our US Public Server, as well. We do our Public Missions on the US Server, but sometimes we do it on the European Public Server, it depends. We do our Public Missions every other Sunday at 2pm EST (7pm GMT). We do SOCOM Only Missions every other week, as well, on Sundays. We do this on the off weeks of the Public Missions. These are missions that anyone in USSOCOM can take part in. Everyone from Recruit all the way up to General can take part in these. We do these every other Sunday at 2pm EST (7pm GMT). We also have 3 campaigns going on at this time, only people that have finished their training and in a squad can take part in a campaign mission. Usually the rank of E-2 and above. We have campaigns going on in Isla Duala, Takistan, and Lingor. The missions and Operations conducted are equal to that of what Spec Ops units actually conduct throughout the world. We have the assistance of former Spec Ops Operators and US Soldiers that assist with the missions and operations to create true to real life scenarios. We conduct our Campaign missions every other Saturday and the time depends. Additionally, we ask our soldiers to contribute to the unit as a whole. After completing your BCT and getting a feel for what is going on, you are requested to select from a list of DMOS’s that help unit cohesion. For instance, there are roles that one can fill from MP all the way to graphic design or mission campaign creation. Based on how much you would like to contribute to U.S. SOCOM, there is a role for you. We are a MILSIM environment with a family atmosphere. We follow a rank structure that takes the military and brings it to ArmA2. We have a large amount of former and active duty military members. They assist with information and assistance with keeping the standards of the MILSIM unit. U.S. SOCOM is preparing for the launch of ARMA 3 and soldiers will be able to fluidly transfer from one game to the other. Don’t think that any skills learned won’t be continued onto the new game, just because of game improvements. We have our addon pak on both Six Updater and Yoma, you can download it from either place and join us in game. I will put the links below for instructions on how to get our addon pack from either, along with our TS info.

Beckwith-USSOCOM- 10 Posted August 27, 2012 We are happy to announce our 3rd Recruitment for Delta and DEVGRU this year and we are getting some new members into both units. They only recruit every 3 months and they only recruit from units in USSOCOM. This next recruitment is in September. Also, since our last update, we closed MARSOC, temporarily till we got some more numbers. We are also happy to announce our new Airborne school, Free Fall parachutist school, and WLC having been redone and remade and the constant new schools we are pumping out every month. We know everyone is eager to be a SNIPER, so with that said, we are happy to announce our new SNIPER school which will be opening up at the end of September. This training will be a 9 week course of 1 - 3 days of training every week. It will teach you everything you need to know to be a expert Sniper. We are running public missions every week on Saturdays and sometimes on Sundays. You can check this forum for more information on Public missions we run. We post the Public missions up every Monday.
