I. Introduction
The Regiment of International Forces: Land and Aerospace is a new ArmA 2 community which puts the emphasis on simulating realistic
military doctrines and structures. We're new a new community made of people with years of experience in the "Armaverse". We offer a
unique military simulation experience for new members and we also heartly welcome newcomers to Arma who want to learn and experience
a simulation style game.
II. Structure and Organisation
As “Land and Aerospace” suggests in our name, we put the emphasis on using an effective combination of different roles such as the Airwing
and Infantry to accomplish our goals. Our ranking system and doctrines are loosely based on the system of several Western-European armies
and specifically the British Armed Forces.
III. Training
We have a unique training system, in which new soldiers can easily attain new skills and possibly enhance the chance of getting promotions and/
or awards for effort. We try to train as much as possible in order to keep both the Infantry section and the Airwing as smooth and combat-ready
at all times to ensure victory when in our Operations.
We have pre-set training on Thursdays around 19:00 GMT, though eventually we do an extra training. Our training isn’t always the same boring
things though, we include a lot of variety in our training schedules. We train simple things such as formations aswell as more advanced maneuvers
in which the Airwing and Infantry work closely together.
IV. Deployment
Every Sunday at 19:00 GMT we organise a mission or deployment,often part of larger campaigns. This means that all the soldiers and pilots will be
deployed to a combat area which is usually in a foreign environment/country. You can always check your sections' task and assets in the Forums
beforehand in the Briefing which is posted before every deployment.
The lessons taught from previous training sessions come in very useful here. This is where all the soldiers are put to the test to see if they know
what they trained and have a chance to see how effective their new methods are.
If the soldiers has participated in at least two missions of a campaign, he will be awarded with a special ribbon of remembrance to that specific
campaign. Aside from that, he may also earn other awards or ribbons for exceptional skill or actions together with members of his section.
V. Infantry section and Airwing
Infantry
Our Infantry Sections are the bulk of our organisation, they form our power on the battlefield against hostiles and those who we battle. To their
disposal are several lightly-armoured vehicles and a number of notable British firearms and other NATO/European weapon systems.
Their task may seem simple in general, but it has proven to be a very difficult task due to all the hostiles and setbacks they have to endure. Luckily,
our training programme makes these soldiers as prepared as possible. This means that they should be combat-ready at all times. It may seem that
the general point of our Infantry Section is to eliminate any opposition or enemies, the reality is far from that. Outside of active-combat missions,
the Infantry Sections also deploys on scenarios like convoy escorting or compound/base protection missions.
Recruits are usually assigned to one of our Infantry Sections when they have passed their recruitment phase and have shown to be a member capable
of helping the team.
Airwing
Working narrowly together with the Infantry Sections, our Airwing has a few differences that distinguish them from the Infantry. The Airwing is the
secondary fighting force in our community. Aside from that they carry a big responsibility in terms of (logistical) support.
The Airwing has a very wide amount of tasks, they have a big role in supporting the Infantry Sections when it comes to logistical support. An example
of the logistical support is the transport of troops and supplies from point A to B. Even though it doesn't sound thrilling, the task is hard with hostiles
often near enough to shoot at the Aircraft. Transport of Infantry from locations is also very important for overall success and efficiency of a mission.
But it isn't only the transport of Infantry Sections, but also special vehicles like armoured land-rovers and supplies like ammunition, medical supplies
and static weapons. Again these logistical items are of huge importance to the overall success of a mission/deployment.
Support isn't exclusively logistical, there are a number of other roles that are also very important for the Infantry Sections to function well. An example
is direct or indirect fire support from the skies above,aswell as intelligence reports as they are the additional ears and eyes of the Infantry sections on
the ground.
Recruits or soldiers that wish to apply for a pilot career in our Airwing are required to have been a member for a number of weeks before they can
apply for a pilot job in our Airwing. Pilots are considered to be Officers, starting at the rank of Pilot Officer (Plt. Off).
VI. Recruitment - Interested?
We’re looking for dedicated and experienced people when it comes to military simulation within Armed Assault or ArmA II. We have our rules and
regulations concerning recruitment, but as long as members stick close to them and show that they are keen to learn new things
it isn’t that bad. We are looking for people who can work under stress and have a certain flexibility in combat.
But in the end we’re doing this to have fun, and that is our primal goal in the community. People need to able to have a good sense of humour. If you get
offended too quickly, the Regiment of International Forces may not be the right place for you.
Overall, we don’t ask a lot from our members, it’s not very strict and most things should fit if you want to join a military simulation community like
the Regiment of International Forces.
