USEC was opened on 1 April 2002 as a division of the Unity Virtual Aviation Community. Rather than being a clan, USEC conducts simulated military operations in a role-playing environment for mature players to provide the complete virtual military career. Currently a variety of gaming platforms are catered for across the four military battlespaces, including Flight Simulator 2004, Flight Simulator X, Silent Hunter 4, Armed Assault, and Armed Assault 2.

Each of these Force Groups is made up of a number of specific units and is commanded by a Force Commander, usually of General rank.  Each Unit may operate slightly different gaming platforms that other units within the same Force Group. Currently a number of units across most of the Force Groups offer ArmA as a gaming platform to simulate operations.

== Benefits of Membership ==
The Special Force Group includes all aspects of Force Doctrine that are not included in the other Force Groups. This includes Aerospace and Space Doctrine. Space warfare is combat that takes place in outer space. Technically as a distinct classification, it refers to battles where the targets themselves are in space. Space warfare therefore includes ground-to-space warfare, such as attacking satellites from the Earth, as well as space-to-space warfare, such as satellites attacking satellites. It does not include space-to-ground warfare, where orbital objects attack ground targets directly, or the use of satellites for espionage, surveillance, or military communications.  
The Force operates 2 high-quality Arma 3 game servers, as well as a website located on a dedicated server. Members participate in a regulated and rewarding environment, where recognition is passed in the form of promotions, staff appointments, medals, and ribbons.


The Special Force Group consists of 1 operational squadron, the [http://www.usecforce.com/roster/?g=Unit&v=UX102 UX-102] "Black Thunder", as well as containing the Virtual Intelligence Agency ([http://www.usecforce.com/roster/?g=Unit&v=VIA VIA]).
Training is conducted regularly, using the custom persistent Training Facility. This facility contains practice ranges, ordinance ranges, and a special forces training facility. Members are able to complete training either offline, or online, and earn ribbons and qualifications badges.

About USEC

The USEC website is a centerpiece of the group

USEC was opened on 1 April 2002 as a division of the now defunct Unity Virtual Aviation Community. USEC conducts simulated military operations in a role-playing environment for mature players. Member's achievements and stats are recorded and rewarded to give a complete virtual military career. USEC members conduct operations on the Arma 3 platform with an emphasis on realism and challenge. Our doctrine is inspired by real world tactics, but built from the ground up for our virtual platforms.

Force Groups

USEC currently operates four force groupings:

Each of these Force Groups is made up of a number of specific units and is commanded by a Force Commander. Currently a number of units offer Arma 3 as a gaming platform to simulate operations.

Supported Units

The following Units use Arma 3 as a gaming platform:

Life at USEC

Enlistment

To enlist at USEC applicants must first submit an application, and then complete the Basic Recruit Exam. This exam consists of 30 questions relating to the USEC Standing Orders. This ensures new applicants are familiar with the USEC environment before joining missions. Applicants are required to register at the USEC forums, where they can gain access to assistance they might need while completing the initial training. Applicants should also join USEC TeamSpeak to talk to our members. Our members are worldwide, so you can often find someone able to help you.

Once they have completed the Basic Recruit Exam, members are promoted to the rank of Recruit and await assignment to a unit. Upon approval of the recruit's application they will be assigned to the appropriate unit, and may be required to complete additional training in their chosen platform of operations.

Training

Training is overseen by the Directorate of Training. UX501 conducts infantry training on a weekly basis, while UX152 and UX411 conduct periodic recruitment drives from within USEC. Nobody can join UX411 or UX152 without having served as an infantryman first. This ensures all members understand the virtual battlespace.

Training is a mix of multi-choice examinations completed online through the website, and practical assessments held in game with an instructor. At the end of most training a ribbon is usually awarded.

Operations

Training operations are conducted every week on our dedicated server. Sessions are usually password protected to ensure only USEC personnel are able to participate. Every few months a Deployment is simulated, comprising a combined effort between most Force Groups to achieve overall strategic objectives. Most Deployments result in some degree of Land Forces being deployed. During deployments, personnel are able to earn a variety of ribbons and medals.
