Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead
For the Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead version see High Command.

Arma 3: High Command

High Command (HC) allows the player to slip into the role of a commander. Instead of having control over a group of several units, as high commander the player can take control of serveral squads and teams.

Setting up high command

  1. Create a new scenario in Eden Editor
  2. Place a player unit
  3. Place the High Command - Commander module
  4. Synchronize the module with the player unit
  5. Place the High Command - Subordinate module four times (The number of modules doesn't matter, place as many as you wish)
  6. Place four groups. Any group type will do e.g., Sentry, Fire Team, Weapon Team
  7. Synchronize each group with one of the previously placed modules.
