HOW ARMA 3 UNITS ARE STRUCTURED

Build your unit's chain of command

Most Arma 3 milsim units model a real military formation, usually a US Army one: a brigade or battalion headquarters, line companies broken into platoons, squads and fireteams, and support elements such as aviation, artillery, engineers and logistics. A Zeus team runs the missions.

In OPSCOM you build that structure once as groups and units, give each unit its leader and insignia, and every member's file shows where they sit in it.

MODULES FOR ARMA 3 UNITS

OPSCOM modules, made for Arma 3 communities

Modules are add-ons built by or for OPSCOM for a specific game. The Arma 3 module is TacMap, shown below. Every community also gets the full core platform listed underneath, whatever game it plays.

TacMap

A planning map on real Arma 3 terrain. Place NATO unit symbols, draw phase lines and objectives, split the plan into phases and layers, and share it with your leaders as editors or viewers.

When the plan is ready, export it as an SQF script and paste it into Zeus. Your briefing markers appear in game.

HOW ONE ARMA 3 UNIT SET IT UP

Your ranks, your qualifications, your awards

A new community starts empty. You create your own ranks, qualifications, awards, courses and units, with no fixed list to fit into.

Everything below was built by one unit, 1st Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, to show what an Arma 3 unit typically sets up. Use it as inspiration, not as a template you have to follow.

A US Army rank ladder

28 ranks, warrant officers included. Promotions are logged on the member's file, and you decide which ranks can promote whom.

QUESTIONS

How much does OPSCOM cost for an Arma 3 unit?

$12 per month per community, with every module included and no member limit. Every new community starts with a 14-day free trial.

Does OPSCOM work with our Arma 3 Discord server?

Yes. You connect your Discord server and OPSCOM syncs its member list, so everyone in the server gets a personnel file. Members sign in with Discord.

What is an ORBAT, and can OPSCOM build one?

An ORBAT (order of battle) is the chain of command of your unit: brigade, battalions, companies, platoons and squads. OPSCOM has an ORBAT builder where you add units and sub-groups, set their leaders and insignia, and keep several structures, such as ground and aviation commands.

Can I track qualifications like Zeus, Airborne or Medic?

Yes. You create your own qualifications and record them on each member’s file. Training courses can grant them when a member passes.

Can members sign up for operations?

Yes. Each operation has slots, members sign up for them, and staff mark attendance afterwards. OPORDs and AARs can be written in OPSCOM or linked from Google Drive, and the operation can be announced in Discord.

How do TacMap markers get into the game?

Export the TacMap as an SQF script and paste it into Zeus with the Execute Code module. NATO unit markers need the Metis Marker mod.
