About USEC
USEC was opened on 1 April 2002 as a division of the Unity Virtual Aviation Community. Rather than being a clan, USEC conducts simulated military operations in a role-playing environment for mature players to provide the complete virtual military career. Currently a variety of gaming platforms are catered for across the four military battlespaces, including Flight Simulator 2004, Flight Simulator X, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Silent Hunter 4, and Armed Assault.
Force Groups
USEC currently operates four force groupings:
Each of these Force Groups is made up of a number of specific units and is commanded by a Force Commander, usually of General rank. Each Unit may operate slightly different gaming plaforms that other units within the same Force Group. Currently a number of units across most of the Force Groups offer ArmA as a gaming platform to simulate operations.
Supported Units
The following Units use ArmA as a gaming platform:
- UX152 Little Angels as the primary Helicopter Support unit
- UX501 Unity Royal Lancers providing Infantry
- UX511 Steel Riders providing Armor and Vehicle support
Life at USEC
Enlistment
To enlist at USEC applicants must first submit an application, and then complete the Basic Recruit Exam. This exam consists of 16 questions relating to the USEC Standing Orders. Applicants are recommended to register at the USEC forums, where they can gain access to the USEC Standing Orders, and the USEC Manual of Land Training.
Once they have completed the Basic Recruit Exam, members are promoted to the rank of Recruit and await assignment to a unit. Upon approval of the recruits application they will be assigned to the appropriate unit, and may be required to complete additional training.
Training
Training is overseen by the Directorate of Training, in conjunction with the Unity Combat Academy, and the Unity Flight Academy. The UCA is responsible of all ground training at USEC, whereas the UFA is responsible for Flight Training. Training is a mix of multichoice examinations completed online through the website, and practical assessments held in game with an instructor. At the end of most training a ribbon is usually awarded.
Operations
Training operations are conducted every week on our dedicated server. Sessions are usually password protected to ensure only USEC personnel are able to participate. Every few months a Deployment is simulated, comprising a combined effort between most Force Groups to achieve overall strategic objectives. Most Deployments result in some degree of Land Forces being deployed. During deployments, personnel are able to earn a variety of ribbons and medals.
