1 MERCIAN REGIMENT, British Arma 3 Semi-Realism/Semi-Professional Military Simulation Unit. The Mercian Regiment (Cheshire, Worcesters and Foresters, and Staffords) is an infantry regiment of the British Army, which is recruited from five of the counties that formed the ancient kingdom of Mercia. Known as 'The Heart of England's Infantry', it was formed on 1 September 2007 by the amalgamation of 3 existing regiments. The Regiment has had eight operational deployments since its formation. What's this Military Simulation Unit all about? This Milsim Unit is built upon the foundation of enjoying Milsim within a Semi-Professional environment with like-minded players and a friendly staff team, we strive to be a well established and organized community which partakes in various Training, Operations, Deployments, and Community Events which will take our members through realistic training and well-built Zeus operations giving them a unique experience playing Arma 3. We plan to have a professional structure while in training and combat scenarios but also have banter outside the fight within this community. Reasons to enlist with 1MERC: 1. Simplistic Recruitment System, simply fill in a short Enlistment Form, and once accepted you're good to go. 2. Useful Training, our Combat Infantry Course provides you the knowledge you'll need to fight and survive within the virtual warzone, already know your stuff? you may only need a refresher to our specific style of training before being qualified as a full member of the group. 3. Additional Training, where possible we like to teach new skills including additional weapon platforms to train on or even new trades which will include Recce Platoon, Mortars, Aviation, and Snipers in the future as we continue to expand. 4. Future Deployments, we are planning for advanced Deployments in the future ran by our Dedicated Zeus who has years of experience creating a whole story for the Unit to follow, who knows what is to come. 5. Civilian/Military/Government Interaction, some of our Missions, Operations, and Deployments will have our soldiers meeting authentic personalities which further immerse them into the story that is being told, who you meet may even change the course of the battle. 6. Specialised Modpack, our Modpack is made with lots of well-known Mods and has been built to ensure the Unit is well equipped for various scenarios. 7.

Background The 20th Armoured Infantry Brigade was founded in November of 2015 by friends without sufficient time or hardware enough to fully commit to a proper MilSim unit- but still want to play professionally as a part of a team. Mission Our current aim is to provide a professional unit that realistically recreates the role of British Armoured Infantry. In this role, the FV510 WARRIOR sees use within the section for the infantry to fight with and out of. We are also well versed in dismounted infantry tactics for varied operations, and for operations with other units where the use of Warrior wouldn't be necessary. Our overall goal is to provide a unit which uses realistic British SOP's as best as possible, whilst also having fun and banter. Who We're Looking For We are looking for people who are motivated to create a unique MilSim experience. Since we aim to recreate a realistic representation of the British Army, we'd love to find personnel with previous military experience, with experience using WARRIOR and Armoured Infantry, and those with leadership and management experience. As it is, we currently have a fair amount of members who are current or former service members of the British, US, Danish, and Croatian Armed Forces, including members who have served within the actual 20th AIB itself. If you would like to advise or help out, please give us a shout, and we will do our best to accomodate you! We're also looking for modders to help with the creation of realistic in-game variants of the FV510, FV103, FV107, and AS90. We are indeed willing to donate to those willing to help. If you'd like to join a MilSim unit, but do not have the time for regular attendance, consider checking us out. We offer a reserves programme which accommodates your availability once you've completed your training. Things to Note Regular trainings are on Wednesdays and Operations are on Saturdays, both at 1900 UK time, unless we are doing special events or joint operations. We are looking for people aged 16 and up, especially those with prior military or cadets experience Please do not ask us to merge with your unit. We will not accept any offers. We are open to joint operations provided you use ACRE2 and allow joint training to be conducted beforehand. We do not have Sodexo Catering or friday afternoon weapons cleaning, and when you finish your CIC we give you a virtual daysack (which also works at night). We are a Military Simulation unit. We do our best to implement tactics and SOP's that are in use within the British Army. As such, we have a strenuous training programme and qualifications to be earned, and we expect a certain level of maturity and discipline from our members. We do not, however, require members to address each other by rank or act a certain way outside of the game. This is, after all, a video game and lines have been drawn that we do our best not to cross. Summary and Contact Info We're a tight-knit MilSim unit focussed on British Armoured Infantry. Looking for those with military, cadets, or leadership experience. Training/Operations wednesdays/saturdays, 1930 UK. Realistic training and performance, without the real army bullshit. Custom in-house mods and a strong forces-based membership Our communications assets can be found here: WEBSITE: 20th Armoured Infantry Brigade TWITTER: @20XMilSim TEAMSPEAK: ts.20thaib.org.uk STEAM PAGE: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/20thaibmilsim DISCORD LINK: https://discord.gg/uNzFHz9 Thanks for your time and consideration, Charlie1210 and the 20th AIB Team
