18th Tactical Regiment Offical Steam Group

The meeting today covered a very large change for the 18th Tactical Regiment.


As of April 5, 2014, the 18th TR will be disbanded and is moving to form a new ARMA unit. At this time there is a lot to discuss and a lot up in the air, but so far everyone who attended the meeting has been more than helpful in making these group-wide decisions.


Notes:

All ranks, MOS, and staff roles have been removed.

By majority vote, Dom, Locust, and Thor have been elected as the new administration staff for the unit.

It has been decided that there will no longer be an age limit, however recruitment will maintain a heavy hand on the maturity content of recruits.

The new unit will not have a set military branch or department it identifies as, but will base it's structure on multiple other branches - this is to reduce the limitations of real-world issues and preserve the fun value of the game. After all, it is a game. Tactics and training will remain as realistic as possible.

For rank purposes, the unit will follow the USMC's rank structure (PVT, PFC, CPL, LCPL, etc).

A new website as well as domain name are in the works once the name of the unit is decided on.

=====================================

Squads

Currently, the unit will adobt a squad system. The CO and XO of the squad are responsible for training their squad members. Once we have a grasp on how many active players we have, a new squad will be formed and eventually grow to platoon size - which will then lead to promoting a platoon commander. LCPL Shrimpeh and PFC Doddsy will be the CO and XO of Alpha Squad. All members of the 18th moving on to the new unit will be set at the rank of PVT and placed into Alpha Squad. As of now, there is no need for a platoon commander or any additional branches.


The meeting contained multiple votes cast by 16 of our members. Myself and the administration staff are aware that not all of the 18th's regular active players could be present, but we would like to hear your questions or concerns. Rest assured, all that is changing is our name and structure - the background stuff. We will still maintain a fun and enjoyable ARMA experience.


Please post here if you did not attend the meeting so we can add you into Alpha Squad, or post if you have any questions on this large change.


Thank you,
PVT Dom
