7th Guards Airborne Division

Established September 2014, 7th Guards Airborne Division is a US-based unit thatfocuses on milsim in a fun albeit realistic manner. Our unit attempts to emulate the types of operations that Russian paratroopers participate in in the real world. Founded by members with over fifteen years of combined ArmA milsim experience, we have the knowledge necessary to foster an entertaining and enjoyable milsim environment. Checking ego and pride at the door we strive to create a tight-knit group of players looking to better themselves and the community they play with.

Organization:

7th Guards Airborne Division is structured in a way the emulates the organization of Russian infantry platoons. Each platoons includes a platoon leader, an assistant platoon leader, a platoon sergeant, and two squads. Each squad is comprised of one squad leader, one assistant squad leader, and six additional infantrymen. Each soldier in the squad has training in one of three occupational specialties (Automatic Rifleman, Grenadier, and AT Specialist). The infantry platoons is also assisted by a Military Transport Aviation Squadron that provides rotary transport as well as close air support.
