Altis Infantry Regiment

The Altis Infantry Regiment can trace its origins back to the 1st Infantry battalion in WW2, in the 1960s Altis ask several county including the UK and US to help reorganize its Armed force most county said no but the commonwealth of Australia said they would help and in 1963 the Altis Infantry Regiment was raised first comprising only one battalion but with Compulsory service introduced in 1964 the raised a further 7 battalions but in 1970 it was scaled back to 4 battalions.

Combat Support Battalion

The Combat Support Battalion or CSB is the one more new unit in the AAF Formed in 2008 the Battalion is based on the Australian army 17th Combat Service Support Brigade the Battalion is split into 7 Combat Support Company with each company made up of a medical platoon, Signal platoon, Supply platoon, transport platoon and a Admin Platoon the battalion is the largest unit in the AAF.

9th Light Armoured Regiment

The 9th Light Armoured Regiment is the rapid quick reaction unit for the AAF formed in 1994 the Regiment comprise of 3 Squadron and Admin troop it normally attach to the 4th Infantry battalion, A.I.R which is the Quick Reaction force.

73rd Cavalry Squadron

The 73rd Cavalry Squadron is the oldest unit in the AAF its over 100 years old Formed back 1901 as a Division at it height in 1916 it had 8 Regiments slowed the numbers dwined by the 1950s there was 2 Squadron left A Squadron from 7th Cavalry Regiment and C Squadron from 3rd Cavalry Regiment during the reorganize of the AAF in the 1960s the 2 Squadrons where form in the 1st Reserve Armoured Regiment and stay as a Reserve unit until may 1994 when it was going to be disbanded and units sent to the new Armoured Regiment but outcry from the unit members and public the AAF sent admin troop from C Sqn and 1 troop from both squadrons and put them in the new Regiment leaving Admin troop and 2 troops from A Squadron and put the 2 troops from C Squadron into A Squadron, the units member ask the AAF high Command for their unit to be Called the 3/7th Cavalry they agreed but it was accidently name 73rd instead but the name stuck and the unit it still going today.

Infantry Training Centre

The Infantry Training Centre is the comparison of three Training Schools, the ITC was Formed in 1998 From the School of Infantry, School of Military Occupation and School of Command, the centre cover all parts of Military Training the Centre is Formed into 4 wings: The Recruit Training wing, The Individual Training Wing, The Command Training Wing and The vehicle and Aircraft Training Wing.

Very fictitious indeed, the AAF are about the size of a single battalion and they've formed 5 years prior to events of ArmA 3.

UPDATE:

112th & 111th Medical Battalion

The 112th & 111th Medical Battalion are field hospital of the AAF, the 111th was formed in 1966 and the 112th in 1996 both battalion comprise of about 110 personnel and has 4 company/Wards/Units cosseting of a Post-op/General Ward, Intensive care/Emergency unit, Surgery unit and Administration unit with 35 personnel each (10 personnel for the Administration).

Couple issues, like Sub-Human said the AAF is only a battalion sized force. This isn't necessary because they are "new" but also the population of the island is pretty small. Consisting of around 20,000(correct me if this is pre-civil war numbers). Which is how BI justifies having so many empty towns, lack of constant civilian presence, ect. A Battalion is about 1000 give or take a few extra 100 men. A regiment is about two battalions at it's smallest, so your essentially creating a army that is the same amount of the population. Meaning just 1 of your divisions is 3/4 of the entire altis population

I don't see how theirs an issues I know what AAF size is in the campaign if look at my first post I was bored one day so I decide to do a what if.... that all

Sort of a "Dear Diary" kind of thread.

sort of but no not rely just finger of Imagination

You have to wonder where they get their funding from.

The real life Lemnos only has a population of 18000, and they don't seem to have any oil. How can they afford an army like that?

Maybe allowing CSAT to perform extremely dangerous experiments on their island has some advantages.

Very fictitious indeed, the AAF are about the size of a single battalion and they've formed 5 years prior to events of ArmA 3.

Yup, in fact according to BI it's based more or less in Maltian Armed Forces. ( notice that half of the "regiments" are underpowered, and that are filled with reservist in case of need )

In fact Altis would have less than 50.000 inhabitants, so it would make no sense that they had Divisions ( which usually consist in about 20.000-40.000 soldiers ).

I do have to ask why dos everyone, keep tell me in a way that I have done something wrong if you read the title it says fictitious

AAF are were part of NATO before shit hit the fan. More than likely backed by the European side of NATO seeing as how their equipment is mostly European.

Maltan Armed Forces

Malta would actually be quite a nice Arma3 map and setting. It's smaller than Lemnos/Altis, but has a much higher population and more urbanization.

The two things that strike me even more than that are:

#1: Apparently AAF is following the pre-and-during-WW2 US model in military aviation as an Army component (USAF was post-WW2).

#2: The seeming complete omission of any maritime component, which stands out even moreso because of the Altian air component.

#2: The seeming complete omission of any maritime component, which stands out even moreso because of the Altian air component.

Arma has always seemed to omit maritime components, but Arma's gameplay focuses on Infantry, which doesn't really seem to have much of a role in naval warfare
