RAIDER BATTALION Founded by veteran players of the ArmA community, we're passionate about kicking some arse and having a good time. We have a rank structure, but everyone is treated appropriately; there's no saluting, no "sir(s)," just a good group exploring the vast opportunities that this game and community provides. Our unit is tailored to be a casual mil-sim environment. This means that we don't conduct heavy amounts of lethargic training. While yes we'll need to do some basic checks to make sure you're good to go before you go into a mission with us, it won't be boring, and if you have some previous experience that will help expedite things. The Raider Battalion is an Infantry-Based section with intent to expand upon more combined arms opportunities as we grow in number and esprit de corps. Join us for a night of fun to see what we're all about, hop on our forums or join teamspeak. http://www.Raider-Battalion.com

Become A Ranger - Succeeding on any battlefield starts here Airborne training is one of the many things we work on here in the 7th Rangers. We are unique in having a large real world military presence in the unit. This helps us identify weak points, realism factors, and areas of improvement that are necessary to finding a true balance between game mechanics and real world TTP's. In the above picture you can see three sets of chalks with its team leader in front facing their elements. We do a standard review / check of equipment to ensure that no team members go up in the air and do not have proper chutes or equipment so when it comes time to jump... well I think you can put together the rest. In the pursuit of continuing to be a prime team, we are in the process of restructuring our training and adding new advanced courses for members who have been here longer then others and have completed their BCT courses. That means while the Ranger-In-Training has been here for 1-2 weeks, those 3 or more month old Rangers are able to focus their skills in new areas like specialty MOS's. We call it "Tier Training," and you can expect to see some updates about that in the near future. 7th Rangers Prepares You For Success Have you ever been in a unit where training wasn't adequate and you were expected to do impossible tasks that hit you as frustrating? 7th Rangers was built on the experience of different teams trials and errors.

Quality, over quantity.

Qualified Candidates have the following Discipline Thick Skin Great Followership Leadership Skills Effective Communication Goal Oriented Motivated Honest Stable Discipline: During combat Operations or standard Training Sessions, maintaining a higher level of discipline is a necessity. We do not tolerate folks who are messing around during these activities. - Doesn't mean you will not have fun or a time to relax, simply means know when to operate, when to chill out. Thick Skin: Often times, you will be criticized in a constructive manner to improve yourself, this is especially true in your initial training phase. If you struggle with taking criticism and don't understand its intent is to help build you, this isn't the team for you. Great Followership: Can you take orders? Can you execute the orders given? Are you able to stay within your controlled fireteam element? Can you respect others during their time in command? If you answered yes to all of these questions, you are likely a solid follower, and a qualified candidate to join our team. Leadership Skills: Every Ranger is a leader here, even in your first 1-2 weeks you will be put in charge of seasoned Rangers so you can experience the necessity to learn what to do. This is an effective means to see how you are understanding the overall training, and it is crucial to the definition of your leadership growth. Here in the 7-75th Rangers, you growing as a leader is a top priority. We often play with the international community, and you may be tasked with leading troops. Equally, if an FTL or SL goes down, you need to know how to take charge. Effective Communication: Being able to communicate effectively can be difficult, but as you exercise it more you'll understand. As a Ranger, you will need to rapidly report a compass bearing, distance, and unit type of enemy or friendly positions / threats. You will be trained how to report, when to report, and who to report these types of things to. Goal Oriented: Being goal oriented shows a desire to be motivated. Let's not confuse Goal oriented with Agenda driven. We do not do politics here, we squash it rapidly to be bluntly honest. But we do want our Rangers to have a sense of pride and something to work to. We host a variety of classifications & qualifications for you to work towards and improve, ie: friendly competition or pride in your classifications. Motivated: From day 1, you must be motivated. We invest a lot of time into you that will impact the duration of your online gaming career. The tactics and procedures you learn here will make you an effective leader and team member in any other unit that simulates the real world military training we provide. It will take time before you are given the honor of Ranger and the rank of Private in the unit. Once you earn it, you will be qualified as a Virtual Ranger in an outstanding Virtual Ranger unit. Honesty: You will be honest from day 1, no need to cover up old news or not be direct about it. The worse thing is for us to review your records with the ArmA community and find something that is abnormal. Honesty shows a great deal of character about someone, and there's certainly zero need to be unhonest in an online gaming syndicate =). Stability: Is your personal life stable? Do you have time to commit to the unit? Are you interested in staying a member of the unit for awhile? If you answered yes, these are good signs. We don't do unit hoppers, again the time we invest is too critical for us to do this. Please be honest and direct initially so both parties are satisfied with the arrangements. ===================== To APPLY, visit our forums and see the "Join 7th Battalion" forum.

In fact we have a veteran Ranger for real life resources, and plenty of other outstanding military personnel. When you engage in our operations, you will notice professionalism, smooth communications, excellent reaction to contacts, and more. At the end of every one of our missions, we gather to discuss how the mission went, aka: "After Action Report." We are a very mature unit who is able to constructively criticize each other so we can move forward together as a unit and correct problems that occured. We do not do politics, we are very direct and by doing so we disable tensions that may arise, so that we can continue to work together effectively. Finally, we do not accept anyone off the block. There is a Candidate & Cadet phase so by the time you make Private, you have earned your uniform as everyone else. Increase your gaming knowledge and experience for the rest of your gaming career, you are bound to learn many things.
