The Presence of the Mal’akhim: ball of light UFO/UAP's are active benevolent and malevolent inter-dimensional entities watching and manipulating the progression of man since the beginning of time. These enigmatic beings will perform major roles during the imminent Apocalypse, and beyond.
Various sightings of Mal'akhim entities manifesting around the world.
These phenomena are the activities of the Mal'akhim.

Ezekiel's wheels; an early written record of authentic \"UFOs,\" which are not unidentified at all but powerful inter-dimensional Mal'akhim entities.
Ezekiel 1:13-14
As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. And the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. And the living creatures darted to and fro, like the appearance of a flash of lightning.
The woodcut of the 1561 Nuremberg sky battle.
In the spring of the year 1561, the Mal'akhim emerged en masse in the skies above the city of Nuremberg. The witnesses below perceived the spectacle as a major battle in the skies.
The description for the scene in the depiction above reads:
"In the morning of April 14, 1561, at daybreak, between 4 and 5 a.m., a dreadful apparition occurred on the sun, and then this was seen in Nuremberg in the city, before the gates and in the country – by many men and women. At first there appeared in the middle of the sun two blood-red semi-circular arcs, just like the moon in its last quarter. And in the sun, above and below and on both sides, the color was blood, there stood a round ball of partly dull, partly black ferrous color. Likewise there stood on both sides and as a torus about the sun such blood-red ones and other balls in large number, about three in a line and four in a square, also some alone. In between these globes there were visible a few blood-red crosses, between which there were blood-red strips, becoming thicker to the rear and in the front malleable like the rods of reed-grass, which were intermingled, among them two big rods, one on the right, the other to the left, and within the small and big rods there were three, also four and more globes. These all started to fight among themselves, so that the globes, which were first in the sun, flew out to the ones standing on both sides, thereafter, the globes standing outside the sun, in the small and large rods, flew into the sun. Besides the globes flew back and forth among themselves and fought vehemently with each other for over an hour. And when the conflict in and again out of the sun was most intense, they became fatigued to such an extent that they all, as said above, fell from the sun down upon the earth 'as if they all burned' and they then wasted away on the earth with immense smoke. After all this there was something like a black spear, very long and thick, sighted; the shaft pointed to the east, the point pointed west. Whatever such signs mean, God alone knows. Although we have seen, shortly one after another, many kinds of signs on the heaven, which are sent to us by the almighty God, to bring us to repentance, we still are, unfortunately, so ungrateful that we despise such high signs and miracles of God. Or we speak of them with ridicule and discard them to the wind, in order that God may send us a frightening punishment on account of our ungratefulness. After all, the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that He may avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may temporarily here and perpetually there, live as his children. For it, may God grant us his help, Amen. By Hanns Glaser, letter-painter of Nurnberg."
Examples of celestial mal'akhim merkabah in historical art.
Below is a list of extraordinary sightings and encounters of the mal'akhim recorded throughout human history dating back long before human powered flight. (pre-1900 A.D.)
25 August 1846, Saint-Apre, France
At 2:30 A.M. Dr. Moreau was returning from a visit to a patient's home by warm, calm weather when he found himself bathed in the light coming from a globe that seemed to open up, emitting hundreds of star-like objects. This was observed for three to four minutes, after which the display slowed down and the globe disappeared.
28 May 1637, Between Chartres and Paris, France
Travelers marveled at three large 'stars' surrounded by smaller ones, with a long streak of other 'stars'.
March 1638, Muddy River near Charlton, Massachusetts
A member of the Puritan Church, James Everell, "a sober, discreet man," was crossing the Muddy River one evening in a small boat with two companions. Suddenly a great luminous mass appeared in the sky above the river. It seemed to dart back and forth over the water. When it remained motionless, it "flamed up" and seemed to measure three yards square. When it moved, it "contracted into the figure of a swine" and flew away towards Charlton.
It did this repeatedly over a period of two or three hours, always returning briefly to the same spot above the water before shooting off again.
7 March 1458, Kyoto, Japan
Five "stars" appeared to circle the moon, changed colors three times and vanished suddenly.
June 1444, Bibbiena, Arezzo, Italy
Over three months multiple witnesses saw globes of light, golden in color, both inside and outside a church. The story by Don Massimo, a Benedictine monk, mentions that "turning to the church he and his companions saw a globe as thick as a printing press."
Mr. Lorenzo Piovano of Bibbiena stated that he saw more lights day and night, moving around the church and leaving a smell of remarkable sweetness. Don Massimo is careful to add that the mayor and others who ran into the church saw nothing, but they did notice the smell.
3 March 1428, Forli, Italy
At 1:30 A.M. a fiery lamp was observed for about two hours. The city archives also mention "a very high flame in the shape of a tower, and a column of apparent fire rising in the air."
15 July 1385, London and Dover, England
"At London and likewise at Dover, there appeared after sunset a kind of fire in the shape of a head in the south part of the heavens, stretching out to the northern quarter, which flew away, dividing itself into three parts, and travelled in the air like a bird of the woods in flight. At length they joined as one and suddenly disappeared."
February 1382, Paris, France
Before the Maillets uprising, a fiery flashing globe was seen for a period of eight days, ” "roaming from door to door above the city of Paris, without there being any wind agitation nor lightning or noise of thunder, and on the contrary, the weather never ceased to be serene."
20 July 1349, Japan
Two shining objects appeared from the southeast and northwest. They had a terrible clash as they appeared to maneuver acrobatically, emitting flashes.
8 September 1296, Loreto, Italy
Before dawn, mysterious globes of light appeared repeatedly in the sky of Loreto, falling, stopping and disappearing suddenly. The phenomenon was witnessed by a hermit, Paul Selva, who wrote a famous letter to Charles II dated June 1297. The phenomenon appeared as a body of elliptical shape. A writer named Mantovano who obtained the information from a record dating back to 1300, notes: "He saw a light in the shape of a very bright comet measuring twelve feet in length and six in width, coming down from heaven in the direction of the church and after it approached, vanished at the site."
3 August 1294, Japan

3 June 1277, China
"I rise at dawn and, through the window, I see a very bright star that crosses the Milky Way. Now I see three luminous objects appear in the southern sky, of which two fly away and disappear suddenly from my sight. The one which remains possesses five unequalled lights beneath it, and above its upper part I see something in the form of a dome. The unknown object begins to move in a zigzag, like a dead leaf. At the same time, some fiery thing falls from the sky. A short time afterwards, the sun rises but its brightness is dulled by the luminous object that moves quickly in a northerly direction. In the western sky, a green cloud is suddenly disturbed by another unknown object, oval in shape, flat, that descends quickly. This object is more than three meters long, and is surrounded by flames. It rises again shortly after its descent.
"In view of this splendid and amazing spectacle, I rush to the village to alert the inhabitants. When my friends come out of their houses, the flying machine has disappeared. After the event, I reflect on it very much but do not find a reasonable explanation. I have the impression I have come out of a long dream. I hasten to write down all that I have seen at the time so that whoever understands these events can give me an explanation."
1273, Naples, Italy
The biography of St. Thomas Aquinas (ca. 1225 to 7 March 1274) states that on the year before his death he returned to Naples, staying in that city for a few weeks during an illness. While he was there two monks saw a light described as a big star coming through the window. It rested for a moment on the head of the sick man and disappeared again, just as it came.
12 September 1271, Japan
At midnight Nichiren Shonin (1222-1282), was being escorted to the beach to be executed. Just before the fatal moment, a brilliant sphere as large as the moon flew over, illuminating the landscape. The authorities were so frightened by the apparition that they changed their minds about putting Shonin to death. Instead, they exiled him to Sado Island.
14 October 1253, England
Nicholas of Findern reported to Burton Abbey that "About the hour of vespers, the sky being clear, suddenly a large bright star appeared out of a black cloud with two smaller stars in the vicinity. A battle royal soon commenced, the small stars charging the great star again and again, so that it began to diminish in size, and sparks of fire fell from the combatants. This continued for a considerable time, and at last, the spectators, stupefied, by fear and wonder, and ignorant of what it might portend, fled."
1252, Padua, Italy
"A certain great star, like a comet, but it was not a comet because it did not have a tail and it was a portentous thing because it looked almost as large as the moon, and it moved faster than the moon, but as fast as falling stars, and indeed it was not the moon. It was observable for an hour and then it vanished."
1237, El Puig, Valencia
"The sentries and custodians of the castle [at El Puig] observed that every Saturday, at midnight, a fleet of luminous stars, seven in number, consecutively descended upon the summit nearest the said fortress, in the same place where our monastery now lies."
2 October 1235, Japan
About 8 P.M., by clear sky, Suketoshi Abe, consultant to Shogun Yoritsune Fujiwara, reported to his palace that mysterious sources of light had been seen swinging and circling in the southwest. These lights moved in loops until the early hours of the morning.
June 1193, London, England
"On the 7th of the Ides of June, at 6 o'Clock, a thick black Cloud rose in the Air, the Sun shining clear all round about. In the middle of the Cloud was an Opening, out of which proceeded a bright light, which hung in a Ball under the black Cloud over the Side of the Thames, and the Bishop of Norwich's Palace."
15 September 1098, Antioch, Turkey
In the Historia Francorum qui Ceperint Jerusalem of Raymond d'Aguiliers, Count of Toulouse, we read that during the First Crusade: "very many things were revealed to us through our brethren; and we beheld a marvelous sign in the sky. For during the night there stood over the city a very large star, which, after a short time, divided into three parts and fell in the camp of the Turks."
Alfred of Aachen writes: "In the silence of the night, when benevolent sleep restores men's strength, all Christians on guard duty were struck by a marvelous sight in the sky. It seemed that all the stars were concentrated in a dense group, in a space the size of about three arpents, fiery and bright as coals in a furnace, and gathered as a globe, scintillating. And after burning for a long time, they thinned out and formed the likeness of a crown, exactly above the city; and after remaining for a long time gathered in a circle without separating, they broke the chain at a point on that circle, and all followed the same path."
December 1071, Zhengjiang, China
Scholar Su Dongpo saw a big light emerge from the Yangtse River, scaring away the mountain birds.
1067, Northumbria, England
"In this year, truly, several people saw a sign; in appearance it was fire: it flamed and burned fiercely in the air; it came near to the earth, and for a little time quite illuminated it; afterwards it revolved and ascended up on high, then descended into the bottom of the sea; in several places it burned woods and plains. No man knew with certainty what this divined, nor what this sign signified. In the country of the Northumbrians this fire showed itself; and in two seasons of one year were these demonstrations."
Autumn 1023, France
"There were seen in the southern part of the sky in the Sign of the Lion, two stars that fought each other all Autumn; the largest and most luminous of the two came from the east, the smallest one from the west, the small one rushed furiously and fearfully at the biggest one which didn't allow the speck to approach, but he struck her with his mane of light, repulsing her far towards the east."
7 July 1015, Kyoto, Western Japan
The Director General of Saemonfu [the Royal Guard] said that he had witnessed two stars meeting at night. " The circumstances were as follows: Both stars flew slowly towards each other and the moment they were 10 meters or so from each other, there came little stars rushing out of each big star, coming towards the other big star, and soon returned to their respective mother star, then the two mother stars flew away swiftly. After this meeting, clouds appeared and covered the sky. I hear that people in ancient times also witnessed such a phenomenon, but recently it was so rare that I was impressed not a little."
3 August 989, Japan
"Three objects became bright, in extraordinary fashion, and met at the same point of their trajectory."
989, Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey
"The star appeared in the west after sunset; it rose in the evening and had no fixed place in the sky. It spread bright rays, visible from a great distance, and kept moving, appearing further north or further south, and once when it rose changed its place in the sky, making sudden and fast movements. The people who saw the "comet" were stunned, in awe, and believe that such strange movements are an evil omen. And just as people expected, something happened: in the evening of the day when they usually celebrated the memory of Velikomuchenik (a martyr of early Christianity), a tremendous earthquake brought down the towers of Byzantium..."
944, Trans-Rhenan Germany
"In some districts, burning iron globes were seen in the air, some of which, while flying, burnt some farms and houses. But in some places they were repelled by opposing them with crucifixes, episcopal blessing and holy water."

The same book records another "star-like object" that was five times bigger than the above one and flew in a north-westerly direction. When it descended to a point some thirty meters from the ground the witnesses could see its upper part emit red-orange flames. "It moved like a snake, accompanied by numerous small stars that disappeared suddenly."
3 September 881, Japan
Two stars appeared in the sky, and went through strange movements as if merging and separating.
25 April 880, Montserrat-Santa Cova, Spain
Towards the end of April in the year 880 seven young children from Monistrol in Barcelona saw a strange light descend from the sky and head towards a small grotto on the mountain of Montserrat, accompanied by a soft melody. A week later a group of priests headed by the Bishop of Manresa returned to the spot, and saw it again.
On four Saturdays in a row the light reappeared in the sky and dropped towards the mountain grotto. In the end seven men were sent to the place the light seemed to indicate, which was in an area called Santa Cova. When they entered the cave they discovered an image of a black virgin, surrounded by a magical light and giving off a pleasant aroma.
The locals tried to carry the sculpture to Manresa but, according to their story, the further they moved it, the heavier it became. It grew so heavy that they had to leave it in the middle of the fields, where they decided to erect a hermitage in the name of St. Mary. The hermitage is still there today.
November 879, China
Two "suns" fought energetically in the sky. On another day of the same month, two Suns fought, and then merged together.
840, China
"Early that night, we saw a sacred lamp on top of the ridge, on the other side of a valley East of the terrace. Our whole group saw it and admired it. The light was about the size of a begging bowl at first, but it expanded to the size of a small house. Deeply moved, the crowd sang with full voice the name of His Holiness. Then another lamp appeared, near the valley. That one, too, only was the size of a rain straw hat at first, and then it grew gradually. The two lights, when seen from afar, seemed about 100 steps apart. They were shining ardently. At midnight they died, becoming invisible."
827, Barcelona, Spain
Eginard writes that "terrible things in the sky" were observed during the night while Pepin I was at war in Spain. The objects emitted lights, pale or red in color.
814, China
A luminous object rises, lights up the ground. Many small "stars" emerge from it.
811, Near Aachen on Via Aquisgrana, Germany
Emperor Charlemagne sees a great flaming globe descending from east to west and is thrown from his horse. Although the horse may have been frightened by an especially bright meteor, the situation suggests either that the object was close to the emperor's party, or that the meteor was very spectacular indeed: "One day in his last campaign into Saxony against Godfred, King of the Danes, Charles himself saw a ball of fire fall suddenly from the heavens with a great light, just as he was leaving camp before sunrise to set out on the march. It rushed across the clear sky from right to left, and everybody was wondering what was the meaning of the sign, when the horse which he was riding gave a sudden plunge, head foremost, and fell, and threw him to the ground so heavily that his cloak buckle was broken and his sword belt shattered; and after his servants had hastened to him and relieved him of his arms, he could not rise without their assistance.
He happened to have a javelin in his hand when he was thrown, and this was struck from his grasp with such force that it was found lying at a distance of twenty feet or more from the spot."
776, Syburg Castle, Germany
In 776 the Saxons rebelled against Charlemagne and attacked the castle of Syburg with continued lack of success, finally deciding to storm the castle. They reportedly "saw the likeness of two shields red with flame wheeling over the church. When the heathens outside saw this miracle, they were at once thrown into confusion and started fleeing to their camp in terror. Since all of them were panic-stricken, one man stampeded the next and was killed in return, because those who looked back out of fear impaled themselves on the lances carried on the shoulders of those who fled before them. Some dealt each other aimless blows and thus suffered divine retribution."
21 November 684, Japan
At dusk, seven stars are said to have "drifted together" to the north-east, after which they sank below the horizon.
675, Berecingum Convent, near London, England
"For one night, after matins had been sung, and those handmaids of Christ had gone out of their chapel to the tombs of the brothers who had departed this life before them, and were singing the customary songs of praise to the Lord, on a sudden a light from heaven, like a great sheet; came down upon them all, and struck them with such amazement, that, in consternation, they even left off singing their hymn.
"But that resplendent light, in comparison wherewith the sun at noon-day might seem dark, soon after, rising from that place, removed to the south side of the monastery, that is, to the westward of the chapel, and having continued there some time, and rested upon those parts, in the sight of them all withdrew itself again to heaven, leaving no doubt in the minds of all, but that the same light, which was to lead or to receive the souls of those handmaids of Christ into Heaven, also showed the place in which their bodies were to rest and await the day of the resurrection."
664, Kent, England
"In the dead of night there appeared from God a glittering pillar of light shining over the hall of the king's [Ecgbert I, king of Kent] palace, which by its unwonted illumination aroused many of the king's household; and they in their great astonishment uttering loud cries, the king was awakened, and, ignorant of what had occurred, arose from his bed, and set out to go to the hymns of matins while it was yet night. On leaving the house, he saw a globe of extraordinary splendor burning with a white flame, the origin of which proceeded from the aforesaid wonderful seat of light. [...]"
9 June 597, Ireland
"Another vision also given at the same hour under a different form was related to me, Adomnan, who was a young man at the time, by one of those who had seen it, and who solemnly assured me of its truth...He said:
"'On that night when St. Columba, by a happy and blessed death, passed from earth to heaven, while I and others with me were engaged in fishing in the valley of the river Fend, which abounds in fish, we saw the whole vault of heaven become suddenly illuminated. Struck by the suddenness of the miracle, we raised our eyes and looked towards the east, when, lo! there appeared something like an immense pillar of fire, which seemed to us, as it ascended upwards at that midnight, to illuminate the whole earth like the summer sun at noon: and after that column penetrated the heavens darkness followed, as if the sun had just set.
"'And not only did we, together in the same place, observe with intense surprise the brightness of this remarkable luminous pillar, but many other fishermen also, who were engaged in fishing here and there in different deep pools along the same river, were greatly terrified, as they afterwards related to us, by an appearance of the same kind.'"
540, Rome, Italy
"Often a little spark has seemed to come down from the sky to the Earth; then, having grown into a kind of orb like the Moon, it has been seen as disc-like. This very thing recently happened and foretold a danger of seditions and misfortunes beyond measure."
497, British Isles
An immense globe appeared in the sky. A second ball of fire came from its rays, projecting two beams: "During these transactions at Winchester, there appeared a star of wonderful magnitude and brightness, darting forth a ray, at the end of which was a globe of fire in the form of a dragon, out of whose mouth issued forth two rays; one of which seemed to stretch out itself beyond the extent of Gaul, the other towards the Irish sea, and ended in seven lesser rays."

24 May 12 BC, China
"In the first year of the Yuen-yen period, at the 4 - Moon, between 3 P.M. and 5 P.M., by clear sky and serene weather, a sound similar to thunder was heard repeatedly. A meteor (mal'akhim light) appeared, the front part the size of a vase, over 100 feet long. Its light was red-whitish. It stood far to the SE of the sun. It threw off fiery sparks on four sides, some as large as a pail, others the size of an egg. They fell like rain. This phenomenon lasted until the evening."
76 BC, Rome, Italy
A group of witnesses with Proconsul Silenus: A spark fell from a star, became as big as the moon, and went up again, which contradicts natural explanations.
The original text reads: "In the consulship of Gnaeus Octavius and Gaius Scribonius a spark was seen to fall from a star and increase in size as it approached the earth, and after becoming as large as the moon it diffused a sort of cloudy daylight, and then returning to the sky changed into a torch; this is the only record of this occurring. It was seen by the proconsul Silanus and his entourage."
91 BC, Spoletium in Umbria, N. Rome, Italy
"Near Spoletium a gold-colored fireball rolled down to the ground, increased in size; seemed to move off the ground toward the east and was big enough to blot out the sun."
99 BC, Tarquinia, Viterbo Province, Italy
"At sunset a round shield (orbis clypeus) flew west to east."
103 BC, Amelia and Todi, Italy
During the War with the Cimbri, "from Amelia and Todi, cities of Italy, it was reported that at night there had been seen in the heavens flaming spears, and shields which at first moved in different directions, and then clashed together, assuming the formations and movements of men in battle, and finally some of them would give way, while others pressed on in pursuit, and all streamed away to the westward."
163 BC, Cassino, Lazio Province, Italy
A "sun" shone at night for several hours. The original text reads: "Consulship of Tiberius Gracchus and Manius Juventus: at Capua the sun was seen during the night. At Formice two suns were seen by day. The sky was afire... In Cephallenia a trumpet seemed to sourift from the sky.. .By night something like the sun shone at Pisaurum."
216 BC, Arpi, Apulia, Italy
"At Arpi shields had been seen in the sky and the sun had appeared to be fighting with the moon; at Capena two moons were visible in the daytime."
1460 BC, Upper Retjenu, Lebanon
The stela of Gebel Barkal, erected in honor of Thutmosis III, describes a fantastic celestial event during a war: "A star fell to their South position. It struck those opposed to him (the Nubians). None could stand..." (Lines 33-36).
"[The star] positioned itself above them as if they didn't exist, and then they fell upon their own blood. Now [the star] was behind them (illuminating) their faces with fire; no man amongst them could defend himself, none of them looked back. They had not their horses as [these] had fled into the mountain, frightened... Such is the miracle that Anion did for me, his beloved son in order to make the inhabitants of the foreign lands see the power of my majesty."

[A3] [NA/EST] [Casual Milsim] [Varied Settings] - The 13th SFG Is knee deep in the korean war!

-The 13th Special Forces Group "The Immortals"-

l Discord: https://discord.gg/JGTEBSN

Looking for a unit where you can expect to be genuinely welcomed and included, rather than treated as a roster filler and ignored? Look no further!

The 13th Special Forces Group is a small community of ArmA 3 players that provide a realistic yet casual ArmA experience. We are comprised of members from varying backgrounds and units, and just seek to have a good time and play the game, without the strict emphasis on Milsim. We mostly specialize in Spec Ops missions, but depending on the mod and scenario, will sometimes perform different roles. Were looking for all kinds of players, with no experience required. We strive for realistic scenarios, with heartfelt moments you will remember long after you uninstall ArmA.

While most of our players live in the U.S. we have players from across the globe who join us.

-When are your OPs?-

Our campaign operations take place every Tuesday and Sunday, usually starting at 7 PM EST and running for about 2 hours, at that particular operations Zeuses discretion. We occasionally host an unrelated one shot mission on Friday, set in the same modlist just as a different faction. There might be an extra one off for fun, or something of the sorts, occasionally on other days. We usually have separate side campaigns going on at times. Currently a HALO/UNI campaign plays once or twice a week. All events and their times will be posted in our Discord beforehand, to allow our members enough time and notice to get things in order.

-What mod/setting do you specialize in?-

Members of our unit have played them all, but we don't have one set setting. From WW2 all the way to Operation Trebuchet or beyond, no setting is off limits. We will hop from campaign setting to campaign setting, all depending on what our player base wants and votes for. All players are welcome to suggest their ideas and hopes for future missions. Some of our recent ops include

We're always looking at future settings we would love to have your input on!

-How restrictive/serious are you?-

Overall, we are very casual as a unit. We do have a chain of command, to deal with issues that arise and maintain the server, but the highest a set rank goes in an operation is Squad Lead, with Zeus's acting as platoon lead and command. Our load outs are not restrictive either, the only thing we will restrict you to is to period appropriate pool of weapons, uniforms, etc. so you will have the ability to have a lot of customization for your load outs. We don't have a white-list or restricted mods, because personal choice is important. Want to see more blood from enemies you kill? Turn on a blood mod. Want to turn on JSRS to get a more immersive soundscape? Go ahead. We only ask that you don't put on mods that will hinder the enjoyment of others or give an unfair advantage.

-Is there an attendance or training requirement?-

No, we understand real life comes first. Show up when you can.

We offer training if you need or want it, from a refresher course all the way to specialized squad tactics, weapons training, or anything else ArmA offers, but there is no required training. You don't have to do push-ups and run an obstacle course while a 14 year old makes you call him sir.

-Do you offer anything other than infantry game play?-

While we do not have dedicated slots for pilots, tankers, or others, any member who shows willingness or aptitude is free to take those slots on individual operations where we do have them.

So what are you waiting for? Come join today! Hop in the Discord and ask any questions you have!

We're always looking at future settings we would love to have your input on!

\-How restrictive/serious are you?-

Overall, we are very casual as a unit. We do have a chain of command, to deal with issues that arise and maintain the server, but the highest a set rank goes in an operation is Squad Lead, with Zeus's acting as platoon lead and command. Our load outs are not restrictive either, the only thing we will restrict you to is to period appropriate pool of weapons, uniforms, etc. so you will have the ability to have a lot of customization for your load outs. We don't have a white-list or restricted mods, because personal choice is important. Want to see more blood from enemies you kill? Turn on a blood mod. Want to turn on JSRS to get a more immersive soundscape? Go ahead. We only ask that you don't put on mods that will hinder the enjoyment of others or give an unfair advantage.

\-Is there an attendance or training requirement?-

No, we understand real life comes first. Show up when you can.

We offer training if you need or want it, from a refresher course all the way to specialized squad tactics, weapons training, or anything else ArmA offers, but there is no required training. You don't have to do push-ups and run an obstacle course while a 14 year old makes you call him sir.

\-Do you offer anything other than infantry game play?-

While we do not have dedicated slots for pilots, tankers, or others, any member who shows willingness or aptitude is free to take those slots on individual operations where we do have them.

So what are you waiting for? Come join today! Hop in the Discord and ask any questions you have!

Antoon's backstory

I rewatched episode 7 last night and was curious about the ruined barracks that Antoon takes Satchel to, so I did a little research and pieced together what might have happened to him.
Antoon tells Satchel about being captured at Monte Cassino. There was a significant battle there in WWII in May 1944.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Monte_Cassino
Monte Cassino apparently has an abbey on a hill, and blocks access to two valleys, and a highway that leads to Rome (all roads lead to Rome, but this one was especially).
What's interesting is that the German Nazis were occupying Monte Cassino at the time. The Italians surrendered to the Allies in August 1943, and the Nazis at that point had captured Mussolini and were occupying Italy (I think).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_of_Cassibile
So was Antoon a POW at the hands of the Nazis at Monte Cassino? Another possibility is when the Nazis swept through that area, Antoon hid in the wilderness for several months, which would fit with his story of cooking his boots and belt to avoid starvation.
After the Allies captured Monte Cassino, Antoon would have been discovered by them as a POW, or possibly he turned himself in, at which point he was a POW to the Allies. He then would have been sent to the US to become part of the Italian Service Units.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_Service_Units
ISUs operated as part of the US Army Service Corps. The men who volunteered were given jobs, monetary compensation and some freedom of movement. The POWs were promised that they would not see combat or be sent abroad. The 45,000 Italian POWs who joined ISUs moved to places with a shortage of manpower. These areas included coastal, industrial and depot sites across the United States. Each ISU had 40 to 250 men, with an Italian officer as their commander. ISUs worked with both military and civilian personnel. The units supported agriculture, hospitals, army depots, seaports and army training centers. ISUs were given Italian uniforms with ISU insignia and badges. The remaining 10% of Italian POWs (about 3,000) who did not volunteer or who were deemed to be Pro-Fascist were held in isolated camps in Texas, Arizona, Wyoming and Hawaii.
I'm not a historian, so if anyone has anything to add to this please do. I just thought this was an interesting piece of history and fills in Antoon's backstory and maybe the backstories for some of the others in Fadda's gang.
