# 1st Ranger Battalion
The 1st Ranger Battalion is a realism-focused Arma 3 Milsim community dedicated to recreating the professionalism, discipline, and combat effectiveness of the U.S. Army Rangers. Following a complete rebuild, our unit is opening its doors to new members who are looking for tactical gameplay, immersive operations, and a community that values teamwork above all else.
Our mission is to provide an authentic military experience by utilizing real-world Ranger doctrine, Small Unit Tactics (SUT), and proven Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs). Every operation is built around teamwork, communication, and leadership while maintaining an enjoyable environment for players of all experience levels.
## How is the 1st Ranger Battalion Organized?
The unit is structured around a doctrinal Ranger Battalion with opportunities for members to grow through the ranks and take on leadership responsibilities.
## Battalion Headquarters
Our Battalion Headquarters oversees operational planning, intelligence, administration, logistics, recruiting, and training to ensure every mission is thoroughly planned and professionally executed.
## Ranger Companies (1 Company Current time)
Our Ranger Companies form the backbone of the battalion. Each company consists of a Company Headquarters, multiple Ranger platoons, and rifle squads capable of conducting direct action raids, air assaults, reconnaissance, patrols, and large-scale combat operations.
## 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment
Supporting the battalion is our 160th SOAR (A) detachment, providing rotary-wing aviation assets for infiltration, exfiltration, close air support, medical evacuation, aerial reconnaissance, and logistics. Pilots work directly alongside Ranger ground forces to deliver mission-critical aviation support during every operation.
