Arma 3
[US PST] 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines Fox Company "Blackhearts" | Modern Day USMC Milsim | Active Duty Ran
Hey, this is going to be a super informal advertisement for my new unit. I am an active duty US Marine that deployed with V2/5 last year. I served with the "Blackhearts" and enjoyed my time with that awesome group of Marines. This unit has been something I've wanted to do for a while now, and I've finally decided to make it happen. I'm doing everything almost solo, and am in need of some help!

Orientation
As of now, we will be operating as 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines Fox Company (nicknamed the Blackhearts), 2nd Platoon plus attachments. These attachments include a machine gun, mortar, and combat engineer section. We also have rotary wing attachments and a team dedicated to running FIRES for the platoon (FiST). The unit will replicate a Marine unit operating with modern day equipment that is undergoing the Marine Corps Force Design 2030 concept, that is shifting the USMC's primary focus onto the INDOPACOM AOR in preparation for a fight with China.


Mission
My primary goal is to create a milsim group that simulates the way an actual infantry marine company runs, trains, and fights. During my time with the "Blackhearts", I was one of the lucky few that got to see not only how the rifleman works, but also how the company staff plans and does things.

Execution
This Arma community will cut out all of the excess ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that I see commonly see in other communities. There will be no yes sir no sir, there will be no in-game formations, and I will make sure that your time is not wasted. Planning and leadership meetings will be done prior to mission step off, IOT ensure that your time is not wasted. Training's will solely be focused on teaching the individual the same TTPs and skills that IRL Marines need in order to kill the enemy, nothing be done "just because"... everything will have a purpose.

Admin & Logistics
I am in desperate need for new recruits in order to start filling these leadership billets. The overall T/O of the Platoon is quite huge and there are opportunities for a variety of different jobs. We have 3 rifle squads of 15 Marines, plus an engineer squad, machine gun section, and mortar section.

0311 Rifleman - Carry an M27, but can be trained and billeted as a Designated Marksman, M320 Grenadier, M32 Grenadier, MAAWs AT Gunner.

0341 Mortarman - 60mm and 81mm Mortars.

0331 Machine Gunner - M240 MMG, MK-19 and the M2 HMG

1371 Combat Engineer - All things explosives related, primarily used for clearing obstacles or clearing an avenue of approach onto an objective.

L03A Corpsman - We love doc, responsible for keeping the Marines alive. Looking for people that are experienced with ACM!

Limited Selection - A couple of roles that are also available, but limited
Rotary Pilot (MV-22/CH-53/UH-1Y)
Radio Operator
CLIC Marine
JTAC
Fire Support Officer

Command & Signal
As of now I am the Platoon Commander, and I am running the unit solely on my own. I need people who are interested in leadership billets, and preferably also experienced, to help me with shaping the unit and moving towards my goal of being one of the more realistic USMC milsim units out there. In order to join the unit, joining the discord is the first step . The main operations day will always be Saturday, however the current time of 2 PM PST will likely change based on unit feedback
