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 material-
and sniper support from carried and mobile platforms.
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.
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.
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 Fire Support
The joint fire support team (JFIST) is responsible for coordinating indirect fires and air support for the ground commander.
As a JFO you operate in a small team or individually attach to a ground element,
taking the utmost responsibility for getting warheads on foreheads.
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.
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.

Testimonials
see what our current and former members say about us
Being an NCO in the 16AA is the most fun you can have with your trousers on.
Emmet
Major (ret.)
I wanted somewhere that I could learn the kind of things that are taught in the real Army, and be able to have as realistic a experience as is possible (while remaining fun) within a game. I was not disappointed. That was in 2012 and have remained here ever since...
Oliver
LCpl (ret.)
16AA provides the best realism possible, i once sat in the rain for 3 hours without a clue what was going on. 10/10 IGN would recommend.
