2016 recap video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3RYQEZi2To&t=654s Other videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCru7eO_PB2X9eNBRNaS15YA/featured Now, let me list our minimum requirements: Be at least 16 years old. Own a full, legal copy of ArmA III & the Apex expansion. Own a working microphone and have Teamspeak 3 installed (or be able to install it). The ability to make at least 50% of the official operations each month, currently held at 2000 GMT / 1500 EST on Sundays. Do not belong to any other ArmA III group or tactical/realism/MILSIM unit at any point during your time with us. We do not tolerate people who dual-clan. We are a MILSIM unit made up of players from around the world who like to play ArmA III tactically but also know how to have fun, and are currently looking to expand our membership with some quality people. The unit is a fictional response force made up of NATO countries using primarily US equipment. We are a direct action task force specializing in air assault & airborne tactics. We use light infantry and aviation elements to complete our operations. We have two detachments: Ground - our ground elements, Ground contains three types of teams: Strike, Support, and Recon. We currently operate two Strike Teams, one Support Team, and one Recon Team. Aviation - our eyes in the sky, Aviation includes our pilots and flight medics. Aircraft in use are as follows: UH-1Y Venom, Little Bird (Attack & Transport variants), CV-22B Osprey, F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, AC-130U Spooky II, CH-53E Super Stallion. OPERATIONS We meet every Sunday at 1500 EST / 2000 GMT / 2100 CET for an official operation, which are typically co-ops versus AI forces where we will deploy to complete some set objectives. However we encourage members to set up optional events throughout the week, and our members play a lot of other games as well as ArmA III. Also please note our weekly Sunday ops are forced first person unless you are in a vehicle. We also do not use respawns during the Sunday events. Another thing to note is we use the full ACE3 Advanced Medical System during our operations. We offer training on this during the mandatory Phase 1 + 2 training for new members. RANKS Whilst we use a ranking system we do not use it to communicate, for example we do not call people by rank or “sir” both ingame and out of game. The ranks are merely to show how long a member has been with the group and their experience level, nothing more. They range from PVT to MAJ for Ground (depending on role) and from Warrant Officer Candidate to Chief Warrant Officer 5 for Aviation (depending on role). MODPACK We use a custom modpack for official events consisting of popular mods such as ACE3, Task Force Radio, RHS, CUP Terrains as well as some in-house mods including custom ones. Like many groups we use a repository for the modpack (via Arma3Sync) so it's simple to keep them updated regardless of modding experience. MISC We offer access to a group Teamspeak server which is running 24/7, multiple ArmA III game servers, and a chance to become part of a community and enjoy both tactical ArmA gameplay and whatever people are playing.
