Key unit facts

A quick look at how we operate

Who we are

Rangers, since 2017

A semi-realistic Arma 3 unit portraying the 2/75th Ranger Regiment, with 3/160th SOAR and other support attachments.

  • English-speaking, with members across Europe and the world
  • Real-world tactics, adapted to what Arma can actually do
  • Quality over quantity, built on immersion and teamwork
How ops work

One operation a week

A handcrafted main operation every Friday evening, written and run by our own Zeus team. Briefing at 19:00, endex around 22:00.

  • Around 30 players on a typical Friday
  • Zeus-built missions, plus Antistasi and Liberation nights midweek
  • Deployments across Iraq, Afghanistan, Norway, Bosnia and beyond
What we ask

Three ops a month, minimum

That is the floor for holding a slotted role, not a target. Most members run far more, and an LOA filed in advance covers you when life gets in the way.

  • Requirements: 16+ years old, Discord, TeamSpeak 3, a working microphone and a legal copy of Arma 3
  • Complete your training: BCT, RASP 1, or both, depending on your experience and hours in game
  • Roles reset each deployment, so there is always something new to try

From your first session to your first operation

  1. PHASE 01Recommended

    BCT

    Basic Combat Training

    Unit structure, comms and ACE reports, map reading and PID, ROE, medical basics and the mods we run. Built for new and returning players.

    Have the modpack installed before you arrive. We cover what the mods do, not how to install them.

  2. PHASE 02Mandatory

    RASP 1

    Ranger Assessment & Selection

    CQB and room clearing, reaction to contact, movement under fire, the medical handout and unit SOPs. Mandatory for every full member.

    You may run up to two ops before completing it.

  3. PHASE 03Then specialise

    ADVANCED

    Advanced courses

    Pick a lane: weapons, medical, aviation, engineering, intel or leadership.

    Eleven courses, each with its own instructor.
