The Storied Veterans (aka StoV) is an Operation Flashpoint Clan, that serves since 2002 on the fields of glory of OFP.
History
The StoV was founded in Berlin (Germany) in 2002 by three ex-soldiers of the german federal army, that have served together in the Kosovo-War in 1999. The clan was foremost called StoV.berlin.
Today the StoV consists of people from Austria, Holland and Germany (all civilians nowadays), organised in 4 squads consisting of two grunts, one assistant squadleader and a squadleader. Although it looks like mil-ranking, eventually, these ranks are nothing more than representative ranks.
The structure is simple: it's called democracy! Nothing happens without a clanwide poll.
Clan tag
The [StoV] tag is a wilful play on words. In german the StoV is an abbreviation of the 'Standortverwaltung', the civilian lead (housekeeping, grass mowing and so on) management of a german batallion. Although they are handy sometimes, the mils don't like them much and due to the slowness of the StoV in thinking, acting and organising, the mils have declared the slowest measurable speed as 'one StoV'. In memory of the 'Standortverwaltung' of the batallion the founders of the storied veterans come from, the 403, this tag was choosen.
