About
A standing unit, run for the long haul
The 7th Ranger Group has run weekly Arma 3 operations for years. We take the soldiering seriously and take ourselves lightly. Here's how we work, and how you join us.
The night
How an operation runs
One operation a week, every Saturday from 20:00 CET/CEST. It is planned, briefed and debriefed, not a deathmatch. A single night runs roughly like this.
- 01
Assignment
Gather in the lobby; command sets the composition and slots.
- 02
Briefing
The mission maker walks the situation, mission and plan.
- 03
Setup
Radios tested, loadouts drawn, gear checked.
- 04
Insertion
Move to the area of operations. Weapons loaded on the move.
- 05
Execution
Run the plan. Adapt when it meets the enemy.
- 06
Exfil & debrief
Extract, then a short honest debrief. What worked, what didn't.
Progression
How you grow
There's no ladder to climb on a clock. You take on more as you're ready, mentored the whole way, with weekly and on-demand training that includes rotary and qualification courses.
- At your pace
- No rigid ranks. You grow into the group as you're ready, and there's always a place for anyone stepping back for a while.
- Roles
- Jobs you pick up when you're capable and willing: recruiter, instructor, mission maker.
- Qualifications
- Earned through training: Medic, Marksman, Engineer, Armoured, Heavy Weapons, Leadership, and rotary and fixed-wing aviation.
Kit
What you'll run
We keep the barrier to entry low: a curated modset, a dedicated server, and tools built in-house so ops run smoothly.
- Modset
- About 50 GB, curated: ACRE2 radio, ACE3, RHS Escalation and our own additions, installed and updated through the Steam Workshop.
- Medical
- A custom model built on ACE3 Basic Medical, with expanded injuries and treatment.
- Framework
- An in-house mission framework and AI tuning built for coordinated, challenging play.

How to join
No milsim experience needed. Most of us started with none. You'll need to be 18 or over, own Arma 3, and bring a working microphone and the readiness to play as part of a team. We ask for roughly one operation a week and a willingness to improve; recruits finish a short Infantry Qualification Course to become full members. We teach the rest.
