ATTENTION: HARDCORE MILSIM PRACTITIONERS
Are you ready for a 2-day MILSIM/FTX prepared by the Assault Armor Battalion (AABN) and Force Recon Battalion (FRBN) of the Philippine Marine Corps to be held on 30 April-1May 2011 at the Marine Base, Ternate, Cavite?
This will be the 1st time airsoft will be incorporated in the Marine Corps' training regimen and the event’s planning cadre promises this to be the most realistic and ultimate experience in airsoft military simulation.
Culled from true-to-life experiences in Mindanao and other parts of the country, veterans and battle-hardened members of the AABN and Force Recon Battalion of the Philippine Marine Corps have designed a combat simulation/training exercise designed to test the skills, endurance and discipline of participants, with emphasis on scenarios designed for force-on-force training under realistic combat conditions.
THESE GUYS ARE THE REAL DEAL and not some airsofters pretenders using the sacred and hollowed name of the Marine Corps’ elite unit, the Marine Force Recon Battalion, without any authority.
To add further realism to the training, the planning cadre has included the possible participation of a company of the elite Force Recon Battalion to serve as stragglers or opposing force to test the mettle of civilian participants especially during night movements.
The 2-day MILSIM/FTX will be a graded exercise with corresponding awards at the end of the event for the Best Overall Platoon, Best Maneuvering Platoon, Medal of Valor, etc. Prices will be given to the winners. In addition, each participant shall be entitled to a raffle stub with several prices to be drawn during the event.
To further make the exercise memorable, the Assault Armor Battalion has agreed to conduct its semi-annual live fire drills during the 1st day of the exercise, which will be open for viewing only to the participants. The drill will include live firing of 7.62mm Medium Machine Gun and 0.50 cal. Heavy Machine Gun.
For its part, the Force Recon Battalion has agreed to hold their monthly proficiency test during the 2-day event in order to simultaneously showcase some of their capabilities to the civilian participants.
Only 200 slots shall be given to civilian participants. Additional slots may be opened subject to the approval of the AABN and FRBN Command.
This event is specifically designed for milsim practitioners. Other airsofters who want to experience milsim may participate but will be subjected to strict milsim playing rules. Participants are expected to be physically, mentally and emotionally prepared. Due to strict security requirements of the Marine Corps, interested participants are expected to fill up the attached security clearance form and email the completed form one (1) month before the scheduled event.
All payments should be made not later than two (2) weeks before the scheduled event. No refund in case participants decide to pull out on the 1st day of the event. In case of cancellation due to fortuitous events, payments shall be returned to the participants.
For interested teams and individual participants, please email your names and/or team roster to atty_fuvillanueva@yahoo.com. Remember, only 200 slots will be available, so this will be a first come-first served basis. Depending on the demand, further slots may be opened subject to the approval of the PMC Command.
Further details such as ROE, scenarios, objectives, scoring criteria, list of equipments, rules and regulations, payment details shall be posted within the month.
