Arma II offers six different respawn types:
0 or “None”
1 or “Bird” – player respawns as a seagull
2 or “Instant” – player respawns where they died
3 or “Base” – respawns at a specially named marker placed in the editor
4 or “Group” – respawns to an existing AI in the player’s group. If the group has no AI the player is respawned as a seagull.
5 or “Side” – respawn to an AI on the player’s side. If there are no AI left, the player respawns as a seagull

Group Respawn
You need to create a file called description.ext and put it in your mission folder.
In the file put -

respawn = 4
respawnDelay = 30

You can use any text editor (notepad++, notepad, armaedit, textpad, etc.)

Mission folder = Documents\Arma 2 Other Profiles\[my profile name]\missions\[mission name]
MPMission folder = Documents\Arma 2 Other Profiles\[my profile name]\MPMissions\[mission name]

A caution If you have "show file extensions" turned off - pay attention to the what the actual end file extension is. Make sure it is .ext and not .txt. Notepad does .txt by default. No end of headaches for people who end up with a file named "description.ext.txt". If the end extension is not ext, the description file won't work.
