what a modern soldier or elite forces’
operator does – and has to go through
– in today’s current operational
climate. The key word in that last
sentence is learning. Learning is what
Tier 1 is all about. Period!”
“If you want to aimlessly run around
a piece of woodland somewhere, clad
from head to foot in any load-out,
regardless of the tactical environment
and expend industrial amounts of
bb’s… Do not sign up!”
“We have real-world operational
experience of much of the above and
we want to give you a snapshot of
what it is really like, both mentally
and physically. If this is what you
really want to gain from playing airsoft
military simulation games, then dare
to be tested, dare to be challenged
and dare to come to Tier 1!”
As I said, Ed doesn’t waste words!
missile testing site at Westcott, near
Aylesbury. This 600-odd acre site
contains around 100 compounds
along with green zones, irrigation
ditches, disused aircraft hangers, a
disused railway track and several large
woodland areas.
Operation Rolling Thunder is the
third instalment of Tier 1’s ongoing
storyline.The operation sees the TIER
1 Special Operations Forces Task Force
Viper, made up of operators from
both the UK and the US, push deeper
into Pakistan chasing the High Value
Target (HVT) Mullah Kazim Numair
(aka Panther) and his group of fearless
Al Qaeda fighters. The group have
also linked up with a large group of
Pakistani Taliban on the outskirts of a
large township.
Reconnaissance teams from
the UKSF Special Boat Squadron
and US Special Forces Operational
Detachment Delta will deploy in front
of the main task force in order to
identify likely target buildings housing
potential HVT’s. Four sections from
Seal Team 6 will then assault the
targets at first light after being rapidly
deployed and inserted via helicopter,
directly onto their targets.
Members of the UKSF Special
Forces Support Group and Rangers
from 2nd Platoon, Bravo Company,
3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment,
will deploy during the early hours in
order to establish inner and outer
cordons around the target buildings.
Thereafter they are to provide the
main overt footprint on the ground
when pushing deeper into the suburbs
as the task force advances to contact,
and attempts to clear the multitude of
compounds and bunkers in order to kill
or capture Panther, his associates and
the Taliban fighters.
And if that description of the
operation isn’t enough to make you
want to be a part of it, Tier 1 probably
doesn’t want you anyway – this is for
folks who are serious about Mil-Sim.
Ed again: “If you are still reading
this then you are hopefully genuinely
interested in learning something about
