LGBTQIA+ friendlyModern tactical sim with combined arms gameplay, varied ops, and joint operations. Relaxed community, solid teamwork, no military roleplay.

The common names we give our squad, each with its own custom flag. They rotate every op or so no fixed members, just names we like.
Three things that define how we run.
The 47th is a tactical sim unit focused on teamwork, communication, and solid small-unit gameplay without the unnecessary milsim baggage.
We don’t do mandatory roleplay, screaming ranks, or rigid military structure. Instead, we focus on creating organised and immersive operations where people know their role and work together properly.
Training and certifications exist to keep gameplay standards high, not to gatekeep. The result is a unit that stays tactical, approachable, and enjoyable to play in week after week.
Our modpack stays stable for long periods, meaning no downloading extra mods every week just to attend an operation.
Inside that framework, our Zeus team has the freedom to create a huge variety of missions and campaigns across different factions, settings, and styles of gameplay.
You could be defending a town as conventional infantry one operation, then running anti-cartel raids, mechanised assaults, airborne insertions, or peacekeeping missions the next. Roles are chosen per operation based on your certifications and what you enjoy playing.
The 47th has been around since 2018 because we focus on building a community people actually want to stay part of.
We’re LGBT+ friendly, welcoming to new and experienced players alike, and focused on delivering enjoyable, high-quality operations without turning the unit into a second job.
Most communities fade out after a year or two. We’ve lasted because of the people here, the consistency of our operations, and a balance between serious gameplay and a relaxed atmosphere outside of it.
The 47th Joint Operations Unit has run combined-arms Arma operations since 2018. Teamwork, communication and proper coordination.
No fixed faction, no fixed squads. One stable modpack and a Zeus team that builds a different war every weekend: hold a town as line infantry one op, run a mechanised assault or an airborne insertion the next.
Infantry, armour and air working one plan - the bread and butter of a 47th op.
Rotary insertions into contested zones.
Mechanised assaults with real overwatch.
Zombies, SCP containment, the cursed stuff - now and then.
Some weekends we're hunting insurgents. Other weekends we are them.
Wednesdays - Ark runs Fallout, SteamPunk and one-offs.
From Cold War Europe to modern-day PMC and combined arms operations. Most milsim units stick to one faction and one setting. We don't. Our highlights below are the ops we have written up in detail; the full archive is much bigger.

We record our ops with OCAP. Once an op ends, anyone can replay it in the browser from above: every player, vehicle and shot, right where it happened.
The full replay lets you scrub through the op, change the speed and follow any player.
New player or bringing your own unit, there's a spot for you here. No application forms, no gatekeeping, no rank grind - just turn up and play.
Hop in our Discord, introduce yourself, we'll slot you on the next op (Sat or Sun, 7PM UK time). No application form, no interview, no ranks. Mature comms. 16+ (exceptions case by case).
