ABOUT US
Unit Introduction
Established as a premier "Community First" organization, the 1st Ranger Battalion prides itself on prioritizing its members in an inclusive, engaging, and rewarding environment. Dedicated to Arma 3 as our primary platform, we excel in military simulation (MilSim), offering a heightened sense of realism through advanced mods and AI enhancements. Our use of headless clients expands AI capacity, replicating larger conflicts and ensuring dynamic, intense battles. We augment player forces with AI to simulate a robust "big army" experience, and meticulously replicate military logistics in our operations, from deployment to field sustainment.

Members benefit from comprehensive skills development opportunities, including specialized training and leadership programs, preparing them for diverse roles within our unit.
