506th IR Realism Unit
Open Forum => Public Discussion => Topic started by: MAJ (Ret) Hayes on November 24, 2014, 10:18:09 AM

I just wanted to mention this forum is open for discussion for all personnel moving over from the 15th and from other places. It's going to take us a few days to get everything hammered out and processed. So if you have questions or concerns this would be a great place to discuss them and keep in touch as we get everything completed regarding forums access and unit entry.
-
Where can we find the TeamSpeak IP? I would like to chat with a couple of mates.
-
Great question, I'll PM it to you.
-
I'm still a part of the 15th, but I am considering coming over here. At this point I am still 17, however, so I am assuming I will have to wait until I turn 18 to join as well. Correct?
-
I have the same question as Johnstone, I want to talk with some friends, if it wouldn't be too much to ask for Capt, could you PM me the TS3 Info?
-
Any information on the operation/training times?
-
If it wouldn't be to much of a hassle sir I wouldn't mind I PM with the TS info.
-
Standby for the TS information. It will be in a public place soontm
-
are there any "ITB" or basic instructor positions?
-
Or S1? I would like to retain my S1 priorities as S1 if possible.
-
same i really enjoy teaching ITB and RTO. Also if we know the TS info are we authorized to join it?
-
Those are excellent questions. Yes, there will be instructor positions and yes all S-Sections will be populated with the insane kind of people who like to volunteer crazy hour of work. I will say that we intend for the administrative side of the 506th to be considerably streamlined. The initial phase of unit stand-up is simply getting applications processed , figuring out assignments for 15th personnel making the switch. Exercise your patience and know that we want to get this working as quickly as you guys want to get to work. ;D
-
I am willing to do almost any sort of volunteer work I can to help this unit get started. I would prefer ITB instructor/Rifle Range instructor or some kind of S1/Recruitment job but I do not mind doing what ever I can to help out.
-
Awesome to see you here De Vries, please post up an application just for our record purposes, it helps us track who is former 15th, obviously you guys are going to have training ported over. Although I myself am looking forward to doing the Air Assault course that is planned.
-
I think my question was overlooked. Is there any information on when operations will be taking place?
-

this may help
You understand the fact that this unit is a EST (GMT -5) time zone based unit, and the attendance requirements of operations on Sundays at 2000 EST (0100 GMT)?:
-
Ahh thank you. Haven't had a look at the application form yet.
-
Will there be any staggered earlier Ops times for those of us outside the US?
-

-
Currently there are no plans for alternative timed full scale operations. The 506th will run regular operations on Sunday Evenings at 2000 HRS EST. If two platoons fill up, as is expected. They will operate on a bi-weekly schedule allowing each platoon to support one another with fill-ins on their off week.
-
What's the TS3 IP?
-
17 year old members from the 15th will be grandfathered in. The 18 age limit is for new members.
-
If needed I would gladly keep my position as ITB instructor from the 15th.
-
For those of us in the 15th trying to decide what direction we are going to pursue, what are some the areas we should expect during operations with the 506 to be different from the 15th? Other than army units/equipment over that of the marines.
-
Doucette,
You can find out some basic information about our unit here (http://www.506thir.net/forums/index.php?topic=2.msg2#msg2). As the 15th has a policy against recruiting members from within their ranks, I do not wish to actively violate that policy. Having spoken to Col Penny about the situation, I will paraphrase what both parties deemed appropriate.
If you are interested in an Army-based light infantry experience with a small amount of supporting assets, the 506th will meet those interests.
If you are interested in large-scale USMC-based combined operations, the 15th is the place for you to be.
-
Thank you 1SG Shepard, that is exactly the type of general "comparison" I was looking for.
-
Will the 506th have a recruiting server? Help get the feel for the new unit. =)
-
Do you have plans to keep up with the financial costs of all the servers and forums? As well as planning ahead to how much it might cost when the unit grows further?

Not at the moment.
Do you have plans to keep up with the financial costs of all the servers and forums? As well as planning ahead to how much it might cost when the unit grows further?
Our costs have been calculated and accounted for up to two full Task Forces (including supporting assets), without counting any additional resources that may be provided by members. Further growth will be considered if/when we are sure that the funding can be covered for it indefinitely.

Very Interesting

Im still in the 15th not really sure if I want to pull the trigger yet as both units have a lot to offer. I would assume 15th members are free to transfer in the future once the dust settles a little?
-
The 506th will continue accepting applications and new joins until we reach the point that all our planned billets are full with active personnel. When that happens we will evaluate our needs and may create a poolee platoon for people to join us and train to become Air Assault Troopers while they wait for a billet to open up. In the end, we will want to provide an excellent ARMA home for people who want to play with us, WHILE insuring our operations are top notch and functional.

How will 506th operations differ from the 15ths operations?

Hey guys, just wanted to say good luck with the new unit! Y'all will be missed. Hope to play with you guys sometime as a guest on the recruiting server or something.

From all of us, thank you Chang, it is greatly appreciated. :)

Does the 506th ever plan on using Stykers? A pack was just released so just wondering, http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27009 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=27009)

This is the structure command staff has planned:
Once we are at full strength a full weekly Task Force will look similar to the following:
Co Hq (Task Force Command)
1 Air Assault Platoon
2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles with 1 Fire Team of Infantry Each
4 Blackhawk UH-60 Transport Helicopters (that will have the capability of switching Blackhawk AH-60 DAPs as the Mission Unfolds)
1 A-10
*Please note this is the planned final Task Force combination, we may not be able to field all these assets right away until such time as we 1.) train personnel on appropriate equipment 2.) insure the assets listed do not over-power the enemy to the point of us being bored and 3.) ensure that we have the server tech capable of performing well with these assets.
So to give an insight into the exact unit structure:
2 Air Assault Platoons (1 per Weekend)
4 Bradleys (2 per Weekend) *A BFV is a 3 person crew and 1 4 man fire team, 7 personnel in total, all 11B MOS
8 Helicopter Aviation Pilots (4 per Weekend) * Our Helicopter Pilots will qualify on multiple helicopter air-frames to provide us with diverse and unique support
2 A-10 Pilots (1 per Weekend)
So according to this, we will be using Bradleys, not Strykers.
-
Correct, to the best of out knowledge Strykers are being used for Armored Reconnaissance, our Bradley section will be a Light Armored Combat Team, they will be in direct contact with the enemy engaging them with extreme prejudice.

alright, I dident know they where used for Armored Reconnaissance, thanks for the answer.
-
When will the first operation be?
-
We have a mod pack test operation this Sunday. We should be on every Sunday after that except for Holiday Leave.
-
Do most people retain the same rank if they were from the 15th? See some people have the same ranks for the most part.
-
No, dependent on billet.
-
I'm trying to start the application process, but the post is locked and I can't access the application. How would I go about doing that?
Thanks,
Adam
-
You need to copy the application form and paste it in a new thread in the recruiting section. Then answer all of the questions and submit it.
-
Do most people retain the same rank if they were from the 15th? See some people have the same ranks for the most part.
Where applicable, we will be accepting lateral transfers from the 15th. Obviously if you go to a billet that is rank capped at a lower rank than your 15th rank, you will be reduced in rank appropriately. On top of that, you can even ask for a further reduction in rank if you want something to work towards(I don't think anyone has actually taken that option so far).
-
Just out of curiosity since the 506th will have a Bradley billet open sometime in the future, which variant of the Bradley will there be employed? Or will it be mission dependent?
-
Hey, you guys might know me from the 15th.
I'm just wondering some basics about switching over to here. How long is BCT/AIT, when are trainings and operations, etc.?
Just basically all I'd need to know to hop in.
Also, is there a reserve option for those who have school and can't play?
-
Evening, this is Cpl Maines from the 15th. May I respectfully request the TeamSpeak Information to say hello to some mates that have joined?

Apologies, Captain, but It seems I do not have access to this part of the board. I have been contacted the information though, thank you. Also, this leads me to my next question.
What is the policy on Full Time S-1, -2, -3, and -4 Positions? Is this possible?
-
I have a question:
Once (and if) my application is accepted, will I be placed in a unit immediately or will I have to wait until there are instructors/staff/system in place for basic training?
Thanks,
Marsden
-
To answer your question, if you are a new join to the 506th and not part of the mass transfer from our former unit you will be required to attend a recruit training session and then AIT which will likely be 3-4 2 hours game play sessions.
Recruit training is starting this weekend. Our Recruiting Chief is coming online this weekend as well. There will not be a significant delay in processing new joins. AIT (Advanced Individual Training) is still under development but is expect to be completed by the end of next week.
-
I hate to bring up a question that has already been stated but since it isn't posted anywhere public yet I have to ask. Could I have the Teamspeak IP? I would love to have a place to hang out while waiting to be processed and see people I know from the 15th.
-
Thank you Captain, much appreciated!
Now if my application can just get accepted... ;)

You and me both, my friend.

We are asking for patience with applications, there is a lot that goes into the unit, lots of documents to be written, etc. There are dozens of people behind the scenes consistently working.

Trust me, I'm not complaining about the wait. I completely understand that you guys are having to sort through a lot.
So, Nagel, what do you do in the 506th?
-
Sorry guys, I was just teasing. I totally understand that you guys are building a new unit from the ground up. I know it takes a ton of effort, people, and time. I appreciate the amount of work everyone is putting in.
-
I'm curious as to what the mudpack will look like. If the picture on the main page says anything, it looks like we'll be using RHS, as well as likely some form of AGM or CSE.
There's only one problem, though: RHS's US infantry are all wearing 1 CAV patches.
Are there going to be mod changes or anything of that sort to change it to the 101st's patch?
-
Another question is are we going to use ACRE 2 or TFAR? Also, for new people like myself, will we be able to join this Sunday, or do we have to wait until our training is complete?
-
Hey there, I was just wondering if I could get the Teamspeak IP?, I was interested in joining, but I'd like to look around and talk to some people first if that was possible?
Cheers
-
Was wondering if there were any sections open? I work as a security guard for a college so when I'm not at home on the computer, I'm mostly sitting at the main gate or in the security office on the computer. Could help time go by fast if I had some work I could help you guys out with like applications or something. Just wondering.
-
Hey there i don't mean to be an ass,but I was just wondering if I could get the Teamspeak address so i could talk with my friends would be much appreciated
-
How does the processing system work when it comes to new applicants? Are there any criteria that you guys look for?
Just curious over how the system works, and I'm just passing time until someone looks at my application. Really loving this growing community so far, though.
-
We review the application. If it is a former 15th Member we check their service record. We review for discharges or discipline issues. We accept and then find out where they want to be. We try to get people into billets they want and try to respect the rank they had before, while not inflating our own billet assigned ranks.
It takes awhile.

It's cool how methodical you guys are being. Best quality guys doing best quality things, right?

Would it be ok if someone PMs me teamspeak info. Thank you

I am a Pvt with very clean boots in the 15th. I feel confident that I am going to switch over to the 506th at some point in time. However, at the moment I like my Fire team leader, I feel I can learn a lot from him. At the same time I have a longer list of reason to switch than to stay. I am hoping that someone could tell me whether I would be of more use if I stay in the 15th and learn from them, or switch now before I am taught methods that may not apply to the 506th.

I think you are better off staying in the 15th and learning the basics from your fire team leader. I say this because is unit is VERY new and they are working out ranks and positions, etc, so it will take a lot of time before we have basic structures. The 15th is many years old so you will learn a lot, and is more developed so far than this unit. The methods in this unit will be similar to the 15th (I've been told) so you are better off staying.

So does this unit/the US Army not use RTOs or are they placed differently to how the USMC use them?
Whoops, I modified your post instead of quoting

They do, but for our purpose they always seemed "tacted on". For now, they have been removed. But they will be back soontm

The Army doesn't have JTAC's they come from the Air Force. I think command staff (I think, since im not on command staff) is going to try and find a work around, when they are needed. Lots of other stuff to figure out before that bomb needs to be dropped.

They may be re-designated to F.O. (13F), as they handle Artillery, mortars, and close air support. http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjobs/a/13f.htm (http://usmilitary.about.com/od/enlistedjobs/a/13f.htm)

Same ideal as having a navy corpsman embedded with marine units
For the few that may be unfamiliar:
"A USAF TACP, is usually a team of two or more United States Air Force TACP journeymen or craftsmen (AFSC 1C4X1) aligned with a conventional or special operational United States Army combat maneuver unit to advise ground commanders on the best use of air power, establish and maintain command and control communications, and provide precision terminal attack guidance of U.S. and coalition fixed- and rotary-wing close air support aircraft, artillery, and naval gunfire. A TACP always includes at least one Joint Terminal Attack Controller (JTAC) qualified to control attack aircraft. It can also include an Air Liaison Officer, who is often JTAC qualified and serves in a senior advisor capacity. JTAC teams are primarily stationed with and support army combat units."

That's some good info, thanks. Might help shape our decisions on how we set ours up

When is the unit going to officialy start?

The first server stress test was last night and I believe that squad/team/platoon trainings are starting soon.
-
any word on what you are going to do with the folks who applied but are "not" coming from the 15th? i understand there is not a "boot camp" yet but i couldn't help to notice that you shut down the applications. there are a number of us who got applications in but were not accepted. will we be accepted when the boot camp is set up? and do you have a time-line for that? thank you.

I'm more interested in when they open back up recruitment. I'm going to be free and clear after next Friday.
I'm curious, are there any mods that add the AH-60U DAP? What exactly are the weapons on the DAP anyways (I've actually never heard of it before)?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sikorsky_UH-60_Black_Hawk#Special_purpose
H-60L DAP: The Direct Action Penetrator (DAP) is a special operations modification of the baseline MH-60L, operated by the U.S. Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment.[97] The DAP is configured as a gunship, with no troop-carrying capacity. The DAP is equipped with ESSS or ETS stub wings, each capable of carrying configurations of the M230 Chain Gun 30 mm automatic cannon, 19-shot Hydra 70 rocket pod, AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, AIM-92 Stinger air-to-air missiles, GAU-19 gun pods, and M134 minigun pods.[98] M134D miniguns are used as door guns.[90]

Question:
I seen people doing the Cpl and Sgt courses, much like the 15th. Im pretty sure the US Army doesnt call them these. Is there any way to make it more like the army by calling it Warrior Leadership Corses (WLC's)?
Reference: http://www.goarmy.com/soldier-life/being-a-soldier/ongoing-training/leadership-training/warrior-leader-course.html
For example
CPL201 = WLC201
CPL202 = WLC202 ETC.

To add to this, I believe they call their SGT (although technically for SSG) courses ALC or Advanced Leader Course
-
SPC-SGT = WLC
SGT-SSG = BNCO
SSG-SFC = ANCO
1SG = 1SG Academy
SGM-CSM = SGM Academy
*Edit* I guess they changed the BNCO/ANCO to ALC and SLC since I got out 2 years ago.

I'm curious: If it was feasible, would you make a Ft. Bennings map for BCT/AIT (I don't know if any AIT is at Bennings) and an NTC map for FTXs prior to deployment?
I was thinking about that this morning, and I thought it'd be cool if you guys could have one of those to run through rather than have to make a base out of a terrain like Chernarus or Altis or whatnot.

That is an awesome find, Yordy.
If we can port it over to ArmA III, I think everyone will benefit.

For my thoughts on doing something like NTC...
The purpose of NTC or JRTC for the Army is to get that quality assurance stamp before a unit deploys to a designated area of responsibility. This rooted from when President jFK wanted options to deploy a unit during the Cold War and found that no one was really ready. So by having these training centers the Army can certify that a unit is prepared to deploy for the U.S.
So with that wee background I agree that Fort Irwin is an awesome training ground for maneuvers. But I think the idea of an Arma unit doing a "rotation" to NTC plus all the weekly trainings they do would be over kill before "deploying" or conducting an FTX.
But then again, I'm a recruit lol
-
I personally don't see a reason why we can't keep doing what we are doing. One of the major reasons I came over here was to keep things simple and not add all this extra junk.
-
Maybe I'm just a realism freak. It'd not be that hard; you'd only need Ft. Bennings for BCT/AIT, and you'd only need the NTC for FTXs.
-
Logistically, there is no value. While it might not be much, its just an extra needless hassle with different maps that people need to download, and different missions on different maps to keep updated.
Also, if you have been to Ft Benning or Ft Irwin in real life you would never want to go there again, even in a video game =P.

By the way O'Dette NTC isn't the main facility anymore they use JRTC. I've been to Ft. Polk and fuck all of that.

I've used that map back in Arma 2 to conduct trainings, and I cannot help but feel that as much as it is very good for teaching tactical theory, it simply lacks the terrain complexity that we come across in FTX's and operations. This is why I would always prefer to used a map like Stratis, as it has terrain and areas that are similar to those we encounter on weekends.

No, that policy ended quite awhile ago. 18 is the minimum age for all applicants now.
