16 Air Assault Brigade Combat Team · Arma 3
Airborne infantry, aviation and enablers.
We plan on Thursday and we fight on Sunday. Sections that know each other, orders that make sense, and an evening that starts and finishes when we said it would.

What we are
Before you apply
Realism level
Realistic where it makes the fight legible
We rehearse section drills, use correct radio procedure and give orders in a recognisable format. Compressed everywhere else — no drill practice, no saluting outside of operations, no eight-hour patrols to nowhere.
The mod set
One Steam Workshop collection, free
British kit and vehicles, ACE for medical and interaction, ACRE for radio, and the terrains we run on. Subscribe once; the first download is large, so do it before your first Sunday rather than on the night.
Time commitment
One evening a week
Sunday, 1900 to about 2200 UK time. Training and the Thursday orders group are optional for most members. No attendance quota beyond turning up often enough to stay useful to your section.
A typical Sunday
Muster, orders, two to three hours on the ground
Server up and radios checked by 1845. Orders and H-hour at 1900: one insertion, one objective, one extraction. Debrief by 2200 — honest, no theatre.

Personnel records
Nothing here is overwritten
A member is not a row with a rank on it. Every promotion, posting, award, course and operation is a dated, attributed entry, and the rank on someone's profile is derived from the most recent one. Records can be voided by staff, with a reason — they are never deleted.
