Description
Special Forces Faction mod [SFF] that adds the Polish GROM- Also known as 'Thunder' and 'Silent Unseen' GROM are Poland's most elite Special Forces unit.

Historical Info-

The Polish GW GROM ( Grupa Reagowania Operacyjno-Manewrowego) are Poland's most elite Special Forces unit, and were founded in 1990, and trained by US Delta Force, US Navy SEAL Teams, and the British Special Air Service. Named after Poland's WW2 special forces unit, the 'Silent Unseen' and have since garnered a reputation, even among other international Special Forces Units as being one of the best units in the world.
Motto- "Siła i Honor Tobie Ojczyzno! (Strength and Honor For you, Fatherland!) "

The Faction-

The Polish GROM in this mod are accurate to a 2011-2016 timeframe, based on photgraphs and sources, with weapons and equipment they used at that time.
The Heckler & Koch HK416 forms their primary rifle, in both CQB 10 Inch versions and the standard 14.5 version. The M14 EBR serves as their DMR due to being in their inventory at the current time (2016) with the M249 SAW being their autorifleman weapon.
They have heavier firepower on a squad level compared to other SF units as they carry Carl-Gustav M3 launchers, which can be used in both anti-infantry and anti-armor roles. They wear Multicam uniforms and OD/ Tan equipment, and a cosiderable number of their weapons have been spray-camo'ed in the field, which I have seen in photographs of GROM in Afghanistan.

Specialist Elements-

The GROM have a dedicated Sniper-Spotter team, wearing a ghille suit with ATACS-AU underclothes, giving them precision supporting fire, recon or for HVT assassination. A Breacher team, based on photos from a 2015 urban warfare exercise, is also in the faction. They are wearing OD base uniforms with Multicam body armor/ Opscores. Armament is all compact CQC Hk416's or compact HK417's with Eotech red dots.

Supports-

The GW GROM lack the heavier air assets of other SF units, instead having a light Mh-6 Littlebird for transport or insertions, and having the Oshkosh M-ATV for vehicle support, with a mounted M2 50. Cal. Light Strike Vehicles in both armed and unarmed versions as well as Quads can be used for mobility.
They have a light Zodiac craft for water-bourne operations.

Faction has full Editor, Zeus, Task Force Radio and ALiVE support (faction name GM ) Also supports ACE3 Medical system.

For some reasons the characters are not the same as from the screenshots. I'm not sure why this happened as I installed all the required items

Grom uses S-70i Blackhawk, Blackhawks produced in Polish PZL-Świdnik owned by sikorski.

I just tested Zeus, Editor missions, Dynamic Combat Ops and ALiVE, and all worked just fine. The faction may not work in Dynamic Recon Ops, as the code used for that is not actually the same for every version (while all the missions are named the same, they were made in a 2 year period with different faction drawing code, so some work and some do-not, while Dynamic Combat Ops, the larger version of the same mission, has better/newer code that works just fine.

Hey, I recently found the mod not functioning correctly. I have used the mod files to create several loadouts in the editor, and all the loadouts with this mod have broke. Is it from a recent mod update or something similar?

Spot on, thanks for the reply jarrad96! I can confirm the mod works a treat on other DRO maps like DRO Diyala - for you other folks trying to use it with DRO, I've noticed this mod doesn't work on DRO maps where the fatigue system doesn't work (like DRO: Zargabad for example) but it loads perfectly fine for maps where the fatigue system works.

It's likely the mission you are playing, as it works just fine in all normal missions/editor/Zeus missions- If you are playing Dynamic Recon Ops in particular that mod has a bunch of different versions, some work, some don't.
