About

The 39th Battalion is an ARMA 3 Simulation Clan. Established in early 2013, the 39th Battalion Arma Clan fosters the memory of Australian Infantry soldiers who famously defended against the advance of the Japanese Imperial Army over the Stanley Ranges of Papua New Guinea during World War 2.

In observance of their sacrifice, the 39th Battalion Arma Clan pursues all available Arma 3 and community wide resources, in concurrence with historical and modern military procedures in order to model ourselves on the proud men and women who serve in Australia’s Defence Forces.

We implement realistic tactics, techniques, and procedures for our members, but we do not ask our members to do things like address other members by any title or salute in-game.

Our Operations

39BN runs a storyline driven campaign once a week, these are our main mission nights which are every Sunday night starting from 1900 AEST.

Our campaign runs over an 8 week duration, when a campaign has been completed, we will have a breaker mission than another campaign will be created to keep things fresh.

Expect to see something new from our mission making team each week.

We mostly play as infantry, but from time to time, we will have combined arms elements as support.

Every Friday night is our beer and bullets night, we either play Escape From missions or a custom mission one of our members has created, these nights are designed to have a very laid back atmosphere.

From time to time, we will use a total conversion mod that is fitting to Australian operations like a Vietnam campaign using the Unsung Mod or WW2 pacific.
