Get the job done!

Experience, quality and community
With roots dating all the way back to 2004, 16 Air Assault Milsim Community prides itself on delivering
the most authentic Arma 3 military simulation based on the British armed forces.
Predominantly focused on air assault, airborne, and parachute operations, we aim to deliver a dynamic and
immersive milsim experience based on a military command structure, realistic communication, and combat
maneuvers.
We pride ourselves in the consistency and quality of the several hundreds of operation nights we have
conducted since the official launch in 2004, and we look forward to continuing the legacy of our current
and former members.

Roles
we plan, prepare, and execute operations with all aspects in mind
Airborne infantry
The infantry is the core of our
unit and represents the main effort, with various forms of support from surrounding units.
The airborne infantry platoons are capable of deploying by parachute,
rotary-wing aircraft, vehicle or on foot,
then carry out a range of
different mission-sets.
Manoeuvre support
The manoeuvre support element is
employed in support of the airborne infantry, predominantly focused on direct and indirect fire
support.
The MSP is capable of providing mortar-, anti tank-, anti
air-, anti-materiel-
and sniper support from carried and mobile
platforms.
Logistics support
Ensuring mobility, ability and
sustainability is the logistic support element.
By providing
ammunition, fuel, equipment, recovery, transport and ordnance disposal,
the logistic element enables operations within the unit by sustaining
all the elements of the operation.
Medical support
Having played a big part in the
development of the advanced medical systems in Arma,
we pride
ourselves in the medical capabilities and simulation we offer in our operations.
The implementation and training of our Combat Team Medics and Combat
Medical Technicians is trained and developed by their real life counterparts.
Signals
Communication is a key aspect of
executing operations and coordinating efforts on the ground and in the air.
The signals element is capable of establishing and maintaining radio,
data and battle management systems,
ensuring the communication and
coordination within the unit.

Joint Helicopter Command
Being an airborne unit, we are
greatly dependent on the air side which is made up of JHC,
who are
capable of providing air interdiction, air support, close air support, utility flights, medevac,
casevac and para drops of personnel and equipment,
by rotary-wing and
fixed-wing aircraft of various types.
Artillery
The airborne artillery element provides close support to the infantry by delivering timely and accurate indirect fires.
Fielded as light artillery, capable of rapid deployment into austere environments,
they enable the unit to project firepower in support of manoeuvre and defensive operations alike.
Fire Support Team
The fire support team (FST) is responsible for coordinating indirect fires and air support for the
ground commander.
As a member of FST you operate in a small team or
attach individually to a ground element,
taking responsibility for delivering accurate fires onto designated targets.
Military Intelligence
The Military Intelligence team
exists to provide greater depth and dynamics to our operations,
by
providing intelligence, information, Zeus control and role players.
MI also serve as the intelligence function in the planning phase.
