**Who We Are**

The 17th Ranger Battalion (17th RBN) is a long-running Arma 3 PvE MilSim unit that provides all members with the proficiency and capabilities to make even the most difficult situations tenable. We focus on skill based, teamwork-driven gameplay using real-world tactics—without bogging things down in unnecessary military formalities.

* No “yes sir / no sir.”
* No hours-long ceremonies.
* Just solid operations, competent players, and a relaxed environment where having fun matters as much as winning.

**What We Do**  
The 17th RBN runs storyline-driven PvE campaigns and structured operations designed to feel cohesive and immersive. Some of our missions include:

* Airfield seizures
* Direct-action raids
* Defensive and counteroffensive operations
* Airborne and air assault missions
* Large-scale combined arms engagements

Campaigns are primarily infantry-focused, with minimal Zeus involvement. In addition, we host mini-ops and side operations throughout the week as well as multiple trainings..

**Unit Structure**  
The battalion is divided into two companies, giving players flexibility while keeping operations organized.
