United Special Operations Command is now Closed. It has been a long 6 years and we felt it was time to close down. Please lock this thread.

United States Special Operations Command has closed down. We are not accepting applications, I wish you guys the best and it has been a great 6 year run but we have decided to close our doors.

United States Special Operations Command has been around since the start of ArmA2 and we have been around in other games since 2007. We are well established and dedicated Military Simulation Unit. We are recruiting for ArmA3 now that it has come out in Alpha and will be active and in the live game when it comes out. We have over 80 active members in USSOCOM ranging from active and prior service to non-service members. We focus on all parts of Milsim that is good, like the tactics, the teamwork, and much more. We have BCT that is 4 weeks long, a Ranger School that is 3 weeks long, TACP Training is the first step to becoming a PJ in our unit and PJ's only select from the TACP's they have. We have MARSOC that is starting up. We have SOAR so you can become a rotary wing pilot and SOW to become a Fixed wing pilot or a pedro, which is to be a tranport pilot for the PJ's. Last but not least we have DEVGRU and Delta, these are our elite tier 1 units. They only recruit once every 3 months and have a limited amount of spots they can fill every 3 months. You must be at the top of your MOS and unit to even try getting into DEVGRU and be recommended by your CO. Delta on the other hand, hand picks the guys they want to bring to tryout for their unit. Straight out of BCT you can go into one of these units... 75th Rangers 720th STG (TACP) 160th SOAR (Crewman) MARSOC Units you can go into after being in one of the above units for at least a month... 720th STG (Pararescue) 160th SOAR (Pilot) 1SOW (Pilot) Units you can go into after being in any unit for at least 3 months... DEVGRU Delta I hope this gives you some ideas about our unit. We have all our info to join us below.

We here at USSOCOM are happy to announce the first edition of our newsletter. Please enjoy reading the newsletter and getting caught up on what is going on in USSOCOM. October 2012 Newsletter

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. You can still get our addon pack from Six Updater or Yoma. 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.

I am having some issues with 1.62 for my server. I have 2 Windows Server Boxes, and I have ArmA2 on both of them. We have the dedicated server through Steam. Steam has updated the player 1.62, it has NOT updated the server 1.62 and we are unable to update the server from 1.60 to 1.62. Is this because Steam has yet to add the binaries to the dedicated Servers from steam? or is it another issue? Thank you for your time.

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.

If you want to be apart of a unit that uses real life teamwork and tactics in ArmA2/OA, then you want to check us out. Every other unit claims to be a milsim unit, but those other units cannot compete with our tactics or teamwork!!! Website: www.SFOD-Delta.com Check us out and you will be interested!!! There is NO going back to another unit or community once you have gamed with U.S.SOCOM!!! Our Addon pack is on Six Updater, we use ACE, ACRE, and some other mods on our server.

I think it is junk that they are doing this futuristic stuff. They should have kept with modern warfare, maybe a few years in the future 2015. There is a lot they could have done with the game, even if they only kept it that far into the future. There is a lot of information out there as to what weapons and equipment the Military is using, and you could have put it slightly in the future without changing the entire dynamic of the game and putting it 15 years in the future. I don't like the futuristic look of ArmA3.

U.S.SOCOM has a campaign mission coming up on April 16th. We are in need of people to play as the British Armed Forces for the campaign. So, we are allowing the public to come take part in the mission. You will be required to follow instructions and orders. This is NOT a domination type of mission where all soldiers carrying a weapon is the enemy. There is friendly militia groups that are working with us, so you have to confirm your targets. If you are interested, please contact Brigadier General Beckwith. You can hop on TS and ask for more information. TS3 IP: ts3.sfod-delta.com TS3 Port: 7085 TS3 Password: delta7911 Mission Date: Saturday, April 16th, 2011 Mission Time: 1800 Zulu For those of you who can't read military time. 2pm EST 11am PST 6pm GMT 7pm GMT+1 8pm GMT+2 Hope to see you all there. Here is the OPORD If you are interested in taking part, please contact me on TS or through a PM on here and I will be happy to add you guys to the roster. We hope to see you all there.

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...

Found the problem and fixed it. Installed SixUpdater and ran it as a test to make sure it worked before I ran ArmA2 or OA. Thanks for the help Sickboy.

Having an issue with Six Updater. I just upgraded to Windows 7. Redownloaded ArmA2, ArmA2: Operation ArrowHead. I ran both and ran it as Combined ops. I opened Six Updater, and it will not run when I try to install it. Also, before you ask, I do have .NET Framework 4.0. I checked my PC and I do have it. I did not need to download and install it, as Windows 7 installed and updated it for me.
