USSOCOM continues to recruit some top quality individuals and turn them into world class Special Operations soldiers. Our member count has now reached 50 Active members (This means they are attending training and posting on our forum every single week). Alongside that we also have roughly 20 people who are currently on Reserves or Leave of Absence bringing our total up to approximately 70 members. Our server continues to be a home for like minded gamers to come and enjoy themselves. Our servers have recently been changed we know have one server running purely ACE and Combined Arms, Our other server now runs our USSOCOM Mod Pack which is a compilation of some of the best and most realistic mods in the ArmA 2 Community giving us a huge array of weapons and vehicles at our disposal. We now have soldiers in all of our different units meaning that we now have the ability to fight under any circumstances, with any weapon anywhere on the globe. So if you are intrested in joining the premier realism unit for ArmA 2 Combined Arms then just head to www.SFOD-Delta.Com for more details.

We are now in possesion of a Mod Server that contains ACE and our Mod pack. Again just searching USSOCOM will pull it for you in the browser. Information on our mod pack and instructions on how to download and install it can be found here: http://www.sfod-delta.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?16770 We are now possess a full operational SF ODA and also an Aviation Unit, our 75th Ranger unit is starting to fill up as well now and we are looking to have that fully operational with in the next few weeks. We are now looking to really recruit people to join our Armor unit and we have positions as both as driver and gunners. As always we continue to recruit for our Aviation, SF and Ranger units.

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

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.

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.

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
