Dear Community, We recently disabled Voice Over Network (VON) on all Official Arma 3 servers. This action was taken due to technical issues affecting player safety. We are currently investigating a solution, but we cannot provide an exact date as to when VON will be re-enabled on Official Arma 3 servers. We are sorry for this inconvenience as we realize voice communications are important to play together effectively. We will update you when we know more.

Dear community, On March 2nd, we released a Charity Bundle featuring Arma 3 and Laws of War DLC. This DLC was chosen as a reminder to adhere to the rules of war through the introduction of the principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL). This includes the prevention of threats to civilian lives and infrastructure and the protection of humanitarian actions. The Charity Bundle was initially scheduled to be available for two weeks. However, after those two weeks, we decided to extend the fundraiser period by another week, until the 23rd of March, so we could help more. In three weeks, with the help and support of our community, we managed to raise an incredible $38,612 through the Charity Bundle. All of the net revenue will be sent to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for the support of people affected by the war in Ukraine. If you were unable to buy the bundle in time, and would still like to offer support, you can donate directly at https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine. We would like to thank our community and everyone who bought the Charity Bundle! We greatly appreciate your support and hope the war will have a peaceful resolution soon.

Dear community, A horrific humanitarian crisis is unfolding in Ukraine. We at Bohemia Interactive have decided to create a special Arma 3 Charity Bundle to raise funds for the people that need it most. It will be available for the next 2 weeks. All of this bundle's net revenue will be donated to humanitarian aid charities like the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in support of their assistance to people affected by the ongoing war. Part of this bundle – Arma 3's Laws of War DLC – introduces the basic principles of International Humanitarian Law (IHL), which is as important as ever during this armed conflict. We urge respect for the rules of war, protection of humanitarian actions, and doing everything possible to avoid risk to civilian lives and infrastructure. Visit our portal for more information on IHL: https://arma3.com/ihl, and the official website of the ICRC for more info about donating directly: https://www.icrc.org/en/donate/ukraine. We stand with the people of Ukraine and hope for a peaceful resolution soon. Charity Bundle: https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/25069/

75th Ranger Regiment - Regimental Reconnaissance Company Information adapted from Wikipedia page and other research of the real 75th RRC Est. October 2014 | CELEBRATING THREE YEARS OF OPERATIONS www.75thrrc.us The 75th Regimental Reconnaissance Company is a MilSim unit that specializes in conducting short-duration and long duration reconnaissance of objectives for a larger fighting force. This reconnaissance is routinely conducted in support of future strike or special light infantry operations. RRC teams can also be used to conduct deep target acquisition and designation, or to confirm or disprove information reported by other sources. Rarely will teams be used to attack enemy targets, but they are highly prepared to when necessary. The unit has three primary tasks: Active Reconnaissance, Surveillance, Direct Action. Our RRC teams can: - Infiltrate the objective area by parachute (HALO, HAHO, or static lines), helicopter, fixed-wing aircraft, SCUBA, small boat, foot, or other means. - Remain undetected in the vicinity of the objective area. - Perform reconnaissance operations employing a full range of night observation devices, infrared detection devices, unattended early warning sensors, and photographic equipment. - Collect combat information to satisfy priority information requirements and mission-essential elements of information. - Place unattended ground sensors, navigational beacons, and electronic target designation devices. - Perform demolition target analysis. - Perform drop zone (DZ) selection, marking and reception duties. - Collect combat information to satisfy priority information requirements and mission-essential elements of information. - Perform highly selective, limited attacks or ambushes when so tasked. - Link up with the main force in the objective area, or escape and evade the enemy in order to return to friendly lines.
