Honor. Integrity. Debauchery.
What is MilSim?
What began a few short years ago as the relatively unknown sport of AirSoft, has quickly and methodically evolved into a global phenomenon known as MilSim. MilSim, short for Military Simulation, generally combines airsoft play with military live-action role-playing elements.
Several goals or missions are assigned to
each team, along with a basic load-out of ammunition, rations, and radios. MilSim
teams remain on the field for the duration
of play, returning to a staging area or
"safe zone" only for medical emergencies
or other special circumstances.
Military simulation games often last several days. For example, the large Berget annual event in Sweden lasts for six days with no breaks. In large scale Military Simulation operations, the players often use actual military vehicles as an integral part of play. In some cases, such as Operation Irene (an annual Military Simulation held in Midwestern United States), real APCs and tanks are used. Such large-scale events typically take place in MOUT (Military Operations in Urban Terrain) facilities. True Military Simulation requires players to adhere to an agreed level of uniform authenticity and to play as part of a team.
A Band of Brothers...
Airsoft. Military simulation. Combat role playing. Alice. No matter what you call it, Raptor 1 MilSim Team continues to strive to bring honor, integrity, and yes, a bit of debauchery to the playing field. Never settling for second best, Raptor 1 is a unique combination of both active duty and retired military personnel, as well as a handful of civilians - all with ties to the military as well.
And yet, it is not just the tremendous amount
of real-world training and experience that
gives Raptor 1 its edge. Rather, at its
very core, it is the unseen bond between
teammates that sets Raptor 1 apart from
the rest. Truly a brotherhood, Raptor 1 is as
close off the field as on.
Always pushing ourselves to the limits of endurance, both individually and as a team, Raptor 1 will always, through rigorous training, advanced strategic and tactical planning, as well as outstanding sportsmanship, bring only the highest level of professionalism and intensity to the playing field.
Honor. Integrity. Debauchery....Raptor 1.
