**Updated as of March 17 2014** NATO Rapid Response Forces - Georgia Background: In 2013 Georgia decided to commit elements of it's military into the NATO Response Force. Signing the agreement in 2015 it became very active in peacekeeping operations around the globe as military and humanitarian crisis continued spreading inexorably in the following years. Involvment in direct military confrontations is reported yet officialy denied. During the Iranian expansion covering all of Turkey and numerous border wars with all three South Caucasian states the Iranian forces have ceased hostile activities in that region as they didn't achieve any success. The frontline being stable, Georgia sends bitterly needed reinforcements into Altis to relief the battle weary NATO troops. The small yet highly experienced and professional force consists of primary cadre reconnaissance and special ops teams, some hastily airborned Rangers and a batallion of peacekeepers who have the task to protect strategic objectives. Due to the still strained situation at home at the borders, the supplies and reinforcements are naturaly very limited. Georgian troops on Blufor. Included ( new requirements, see below ) - GAF weapon/ammo box - GAF 2014 weappon/ammo box - GEOSOF 2014 weappon/ammo box - Rangers - Light Infantry - Peacekeepers/Light Infantry 2014 - Special Forces units - Special Forces 2014 - Mechanized - Motorized ( Georgian ballistic gear is slightly more durable and offers bit better protection than standart NATO gear ) Changelog v 1.4 added infantry and SOF 2014 added Merkava MBT and Ejder APC Screenshots ( NEW ) http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2741/13208356734_24b3335df0_o.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3680/13208032725_b8b85f8d83_o.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3796/13208033435_f96fdc1910_o.jpg ( old ) http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3345/13073230173_70f2008ce3_o.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3239/13073427444_9deb6152f5_o.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3304/13073398823_2c5bec8496_o.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7342/13073426344_2921bbfea4_o.jpg Content based on http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5476/12799994863_7ba1c43659_o.jpg http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2870/12799993333_c812a214b2_o.jpg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/39/Georgian_commandos_test_ballistic_equipment.jpg http://b.pix.ge/b/yl1wp.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7112/7716102888_a133f82827_o.jpg http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5018/5547974028_c2e4749b85_o.jpg future updates: better and proper icons for some weapons/gear (sorry for low res) Required Addons - RH M4/M16 pack from Robert Hammer http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?167618-RH-M4-M16-pack ( optional config without this requirement included in addon folder.

Hey massi, in love with your work man and I'm ashamed of myself but really can't resist making this following request. Is it possible to add these big tactical LED flashlights for a next update ? http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7166/6848071623_1e38333581_b.jpg would be awesome :D

Really great work massi ! this is an absolute must have for anyone playing A3. and I can finaly update my stuff ;)

Awesome ! and best wishes for the exams :)

Absolutly awesome. You just got to love all the details from top to bottom + very nice sound and engine effects. One of the most realistic addons so far. I am satisfied :) One thing though. Is it somehow possible to add the trademark cockpit of the Su-25KM, which is not the classic Su-25 cockpit ? that would be grand.

Outstanding work there Sir !

Referendum turned out to be about "remaining autonomous republic of Ukraine" or "seperate and become part of Russia" only. NO seperate and become independent. That's what listed countries ACTUALY supported with the referendum. Independence of Crimea. But as it turned out, it was about "re"-incorporating souvereign territory of one nation into another nation without any democratic instance. So that list is total farce and can't be realy considered as anything meaningful .... also a number of listed are seperate/contested regions themselves ( Nagorno Karabakh, "South-Ossetia", Abkhazia ). In fact, focusing on those, it becomes clear what they rather support. Independence and not annexion. ..... No he does not. He clearly does not. I mean, you show a video in which said man says the absolute opposite of what you just wrote. .... I don't understand you people. How can you write something like that and put corresponding video that says something absolutly different. You hope noone will watch it .... ? seriously, I don't understand. Explain me what you are thinking when doing something like this.

Well in case of Georgia, Merkava makes sense becaue there in fact was a request for 200 Merkava tanks, but the Israelis refused the deal because of pressure from the Russian Federation and as long as there are no fitting T-72 models, I can't simply add The M ones. I'll need something like this: http://media.englishrussia.com/newimages//armygeorgiaseptember11-9.jpg ( T-72Sim1 ) and https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-f5Sh3G273nI/T8E0CGiexSI/AAAAAAAAAT4/Mjleo9IuXkA/s912/IMG_9921.JPG ( T-72B ) Thank you very much for the feedback and suggestions BagPiperGuy. I will take care about those soldier roles in future, next update will have that fixed. Hm I didn't test the VAS yet, but I get the problem. Only bad thing about that idea is that people will complain there are no fixed variants you can just grab without wasting a minute on attaching all the stuff. I will think about it though. So far it are only T-72M's afaik and they haven't been used anymore since 2007. The last one was modified in that year. I will definitly include T-72 if someone ports or creates the T-72 B / AV / Sim1 variants and maybe also T-84 ( as future fictional deal with Ukraine ). About panther, I think that's a bit too obvious it ain't the Lazika no matter how much you texture it ;) I think a model based on the CSAT Tigris would be a better decision, but it requires lots of moddeling experience and time I cannot afford to waste right now :/ I will definitly add the Black Hawk since the GAF is replacing all but it's Su-25s with western aircraft since 2014. Now you probably notice the problem here with including the Kayman. ;) Thanks Otarius-big ! What do you mean with replacement config ? this is not a replacement addon, it adds new units. There are two configs you can choose from. One with and the other without using Robert Hammers M4s.

Thank you Foxhound and I of course want to maintain the pages in the future. Sorry to have bothered you with this :D

Thank you Sonsalt6! :) I'm thinking about a personal concept for SF units which would fit to the period of 2025-2030 and are not based on 2014. You decide ! photos of some current SF units in addon http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2875/13222225765_7a95c3f8d1_o.jpg http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3722/13222559934_97f0f97ed9_o.jpg

Very good work on those units ! love it. Will you also add Serbian anti terror units in future ?

UPDATED TO 1.4 ! ( see front page for changelog ) basicaly added 2014 units with M4s from RH M4/M16 pack. Light Infantry and SOF. I've also added as suggested, the Marid ( Nurol Ejder ) and Slammer ( Merkava IV-E ) as only vehicles so far. New pictures on front page. I've also updated and changed the 2015 units. Use filefront link till the armaholic/six ones got updated. Have fun ! :)

Hey folks I was about to add another vehicleClass to the existing ones in my config, using basicaly the same units/models etc, just trying to add them in a different vehicleclass. Now when starting the editor, the new one doesn't appear while the others still do. I have no idea what the problem might be. Checked for typos etc, nothing. Is the config allready to large maybe ( 170kb ) ? but it can't be because I added more things after that like ammo boxes with hundred more lines etc but they show up and work perfectly, only that additional vehicleclass won't show up. Is there kind of a limitation ? sounds like a weird assumption considering NATO has a dozen, but I honestly can't find another answer to this. Help is very appreciated. :D EDIT: SOLVED, MISSING BRACKET :o

Thank you for the constructive feedback Corvinus. Very good reminder with the Marid ( Ejder ). This will indeed be included in the next update. Yeah about those old helmets etc. You are right, but I currently have problems finding an alternative. The protection level is significantly better than the original one though. Yep Tavor is used by MIA mostly, but there is the possibility that exports from Israel increase in future. That's why I didn't see any alternative. About shoulder patch: http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3754/13117079714_f630ce7e88_o.jpg http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7368/13116790015_14753c9c5e_o.jpg all most likely based on main emlbem http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/EMBLEM4.jpg For light infantry, I will do multiam flags in future. The pistol is based on, though I will adress the White issue: http://www.geo-army.ge/images/igallery/resized/6001-6100/DSCF3234-6052-400-600-80.jpg

Oh wow, Spooky I don't know if this is funny or rather sad lol you did the exact same thing 5 years ago. I slowly start to think you and the hackers who did that are the same person :D if not, than I'm again impressed by the general mentality over there, considering radicalsm and nazis numbers in Russia are higher than anywhere else on this planet. What makes it even more redicilous. Not to mention all those violent wannabe Hells Angel gangs. The Ukrainian army can only field it's top military assets and most of it's mechanized force. The bulk of soldiers is heavily limited though. They wouldn't be physicaly able to take Crimea even if they dropped all their troops on the island at once. Yep, guessed correctly that's the main reason why they hesitate.

Thank you very much ! well, you see the thing is the GAF is heavily transforming right now and trying to fully adapt to the West, using only Western weapons and even their own domestic military designs/products like vehicles, equipment, weapons etc are based mostly on the West in exception of artillery. ( See pictures in main post ) They also announced to replace their soviet airforce inventory with western one allready in 2014. But if you people want me to include pre-2014 ( such as 2008 ) units then I consider doing so in future. But for now I'm trying to be up to date and 2025. I've also planned to do my fav unit next :)

Well that ain't true at all. Most addons are retextures so far and they get a lot of reputation and feedback. ARMA 3 simply offers way more diverstiy than ARMA 2 and you can still make a good addon with given content without creating totaly new stuff and also the content I chose reflects how it is in real life currently, for most part that is. Check out the pictures which I base my addon on. Yes it's true what you say and I'd certainly spend more time in modelling weapons etc if some people are willing to help out but as for now, I'm working alone and doing something like this alone is very time consuming. So as for now this is all I can offer and hope you enjoy it. Yet as said, most addons are made this way too as you see. Thank you for your opnion. :) I also got allready convinced to include some ARs and maybe also AKs in the next update.

so .... any feedback, negative or positive is welcome and appreciated, especialy from the people who have downloaded it so I can adress issues for future updates if there are any. ;) From early requests, future update will include some more familiar weaponry used as of these days and if the community wishes, I'll also work on some 2008 stuff.

Thank you very much Foxhound ! :) I am still using my old "CommanderYuri" account on armaholic. Thanks ! I've registered and claimed the addon for my account on withsix :)

Lynx you are a good example how people like you try to turn around your own crimes/mistakes and shoot into your own knee with your own statements like a suicide bomber. First of all, it is a fact that you solved ( try to solve ) internal problems with every available military assets you posess ( in exception of carpet bombing, but even including ballistic short range missiles (!) ), taking absolutly no regard to the lifes of hundreds of thousands of innocents in your own country. You condemn the use of force in your "troublesome little neighbour countries", while causing a massacre with BM-21 grad battalions over several days and weeks, destroying entire towns and killing thousands. If that wasn't enough, you deploy your military and have a full out war against the people who want their independence and fight them for some 20 years, while at the same time, you support the same seperatism you fight in your own country, in other countries and make them instable. How more contradicting and retarded can your actions become ? "suit POV" no, it's cold facts on hand and you still live desillusioned and insult others with your funny paradox behaviour and arguments. How can you even talk like that without any 2nd thought ?

Is that a new trend in Russian army ? taking uniforms from foreign troops ? first Georgian and now Ukrainian ? hope at least they didn't take it from a corpse .... some 50 border guards are reported to be missing ( official version captured by Russian troops ). Btw, I bet Russian troops get Ukrainian military patches issued to act like "local defence forces".

I hope you read all of it. It's in fact a good and very neutral view on it.

no, this is reaction of sane rational person who isn't one sided and can differ between cheap propaganda, unconfirmed information, dubious claims, controversial information, evidence and visual facts. That person is a Russian national ( and probably also communist according to his stiff anger about removal of Lenin statues ?? ) who agrees on military action ( aggresson ) of his nation against other nations. Obviously someone like him is very far from being neutral, cool headed and decent. This on Russian TV too btw ? just shocking.

oh wow, it's even worse over there than I thought. I am really fascinated and concerned about the extent of propaganda in Russian media.

Nobody is hating Russians and nobody is trying to attack them. There is paranoia on both sides. You got firggin nukes. You think anyone with some brain would start a war with you when you alone are capable to destroy the entire world economy, climate and atmosphere with a single nuclear missile ? You don't need being aggressive and nobody is trying to get onto your turf. You've lost territories wich originaly didn't belong to you and you should be glad that other peoples in your Federation of cultures aren't revolting and asking for independence as well my dear friend ! you're the only ones right now who are hot headed.
