[edit] Mission

To perform close air support, interdiction, strategic attack, and suppression of the enemy. To aid in troop insertions, work as a rapid response-based fighting ground force, and specialize in Titan delivery, assault, and defensive operations, and to do so employing a diverse array of combat capabilities including air-superiority gunships, combat transports, and precision-guided munitions.

[edit] Fortune Favors the Brave

The 11th Airborne is built around fielding a fully functional set of combat solutions in Battlefield 2142 by creating cohesive units able to utilize all aspects of combat; in air and on land, mechanized and on foot. The airborne focus is based on utilizing four to six-man air transports, two-man gunship teams, and all Titan combat operations. Airborne units are designed around deep tactical strikes designed to take territory, distract the enemy, and allow friendly main body forces to advance up to the airborne position. Airborne assaults traditionally involve being isolated from further reinforcements and surrounded on all sides. The 11th motto 'fortuna favet fortibus', or 'fortune favors the brave', reflects this approach to behind enemy lines combat operations.

Along with its focus on airborne training, the 11th AIR also trains extensively in both advanced infantry tactics and armored mobility, to provide a diverse 2π*r threat to the enemy and a versatile asset to commanders.

[edit] Introduction to the Regiment

[edit] Callsign

The official callsign of the 11th AIR is the 'Yellowjackets'. A yellowjacket is a wasp with black-and-yellow colored bands around the abdomen - they are infamous for their bold and aggressive behavior, as well as their extremely painful, repeated stings. The unit's coloration and airborne nature of our mission was cause for adaptation of the venomous aerial predator's name as our own.

The yellow represents cavalry.
The black traditionally represents iron and the transition to mechanized armor.
The black dagger facing down represents the squad's airborne mission.
Two curved stripes crossing at center representing the squad's use of airborne infantry and airborne armor.
Four stars representing the four pillars of the squad's focus : gunships, transports, armor, and infantry.
A yellow "11" in the center of the shield representing the squad's numerical designation.

[edit] Patches

In order, the pilot, gunner, and aircrew badges.

Every full-time member of the 11th is given a patch. Inspired by the patches worn on the flightsuits of military pilots, gunners, and aircrew, the 11th AIR patch features our black and yellow color scheme and represents pride in our squad. In the center of the patch is our wings, of which there are three to choose from - one for pilots, one for aerial gunners, and one for our airborne aircrew. In addition, senior officers wear a star with a wreath as part of their badge, whereas the officer wears a star. The left of the patch is emblazoned with the bearer's name and a personalized image, while the right side features the 11th AIR name and mascot.

Members are not required to wear their patch, but it is encouraged. All member patches made for active members are visible below on our roster.

[edit] Recruitment

The 11th Airborne selects its members based on their enthusiasm about playing Battlefield 2142 and commitment to learning the methods of Tactical Gamer. Despite the airborne nature of the squad, recruits do not need to be skilled pilots or gunners. Strength in any area of the game is desirable, be it commanding, tanking, or simply on foot. Remember, gunships don't take flags - infantry are the most important asset on the battlefield!

Every candidate must meet the following criteria before being considered for membership:

Be a Supporting Member of Tactical Gamer.
Read, accept, and follow all rules and guidelines established by Tactical Gamer pertaining to Battlefield 2142.
Be an active member of the Tactical Gamer Battlefield 2142 community.
Have the ability and willingness to use in-game Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP).
Have the capacity to HAVE FUN!!!

There is then a 2 week period in which potential recruits will be required to make one 11th practice a week in order to get to know the squad and find out what we really are about.

Once part of the squad, you will be assigned the rank of "recruit", denoted with one stripe. Active members are encouraged to both be an active participant on the 11th AIR forums and to contribute to the squad and Tactical Gamer as a whole in some way. After a period of 1 month your recruit status is promoted to a member status if you decide to stay with the squad.

[edit] Status

The 11th AIR is accepting recruits at this time. All interested parties can contact DrBeat via PM, or on Teamspeak for more information.

Areas of particular interest include ground mechanized armor, skilled pilots, and infantry specialists.

[edit] Training

It is important for members to train together and to get to know each other, and to practice specific strategies we want to perfect. When applying, consider the practice time and if you will be able to attend. Training is held on the 11th's personal server.
