Concept of operations

SKN Nationalists (M81 or OD/Ranger Green) -  The uniform patterns allowed for this faction are to simulate a nationalist group (Groups with 8 or more can wear any green based uniforms). Tops and bottoms do not have to match. Weather layers and headgear must be black, gray or green based color. Gear color does not matter so long as it is a tactical color, no hot pink plate carriers. The age cut off for this faction is 14, All attendees under the age of 18 must have full face protection. No mesh eye pro is permitted. Remember that RealSim events are created for a mature audience.

ROSA (Multicam) - The uniform pattern allowed for this faction is Multicam/OCP (Groups with 8 or more can wear any tan based uniforms). Tops and bottoms must match. Weather layers and headgear must be a tan based color. Gear color does not matter so long as it is a tactical color, no hot pink plate carriers. The age cut off for this faction is 14, All attendees under the age of 18 must have full face protection. No mesh eye pro is permitted. Remember that RealSim events are created for a mature audience.

Civilians / Role Players - This faction consists of staff members. The costumes allowed for this faction are tailored to the phase of operation.

Pyro will be used by players to throw smoke, frags, and use TAG rounds. However pre-selected event staff will use handmade (safe for use) pyro to create ambiance like IEDs, Mortars, etc.

Blank Fire weapons will be used by 21 years or older attendees and event staff. Blank fire is to be used to create ambiance like fire fights in the distance or to enhance an ongoing fire fight. These weapons will have a BFA. Attendees CANNOT be killed or wounded by blank fire weapons, however attendees are to react to blank fire as if they were real rounds being fired i.e. take cover, stop your advance. However, if you're 20ft away and you get shot at by a blank fire weapon, be a good sport and “call the hit”. Blank fire applications will open June 1st once tickets go on sale.

Factions will be tasked to establish a PB(s) at a predetermined location. Here they will receive orders, plan for missions, eat, and SLEEP. With that being said players must keep eye pro on at all times while in the AO.

Other props will be used to create certain scenes in certain environments.

Points will be awarded to each faction upon completion of tasks within their mission parameters. Disregarding mission parameters and event rules will lose the faction points.

Points will be tracked by event staff. When a faction completes a task they will radio up the chain of command. Additionally if a faction completes a task that was not intended, such as capturing an enemy combatant, destroying an IED stash, collecting intel, etc. they will radio that up the chain as well, earning points. Main tasks will earn 4 points, while tasks that were not intended will earn them 2. Failure to properly report completed tasks will result in forfeiture of points.

ONLY designated Medics can “treat” wounded faction members, any faction member can “treat” wounded Medics. To treat a wounded faction member or Medic, you will simply apply a simulated tourniquet to the extremity that was hit. If there was an explosion or the hit was center mass/ to the head the tourniquet will be placed on an outer extremity of your choosing. The point is to simulate stopping the bleeding.

Each member will have a 2 life rule. Meaning if you get hit you're now wounded and can be tourniqueted, if you get hit again you're now wounded and can be tourniqueted, if you get hit a 3rd time you’re now dead. From there you must wait a 3 minute bleed out time, no longer no sooner, before going back to a CCP. You can not apply tourniquets to yourself. 

CCPs can only be established and moved by Medics or Platoon SGTs but can be established anywhere. At registration each attendee will receive 3 triage cards that are numbered in sequential order. Each card will have a specific wound. When you arrive at the CCP, you must give this card to the medic and he will follow the steps on the triage card for that specific wound. Once the medic is done, he will give you back the card, and remove any equipment used, and you may return to the operation. Each time you visit the CCP you will give the medic the equivalent card in sequential order. After your 3rd visit to the CCP you will start the cards over.    

“Wounded” faction members may not be moved with the “holding hands skipping” method. They must be dragged or assist carried (no fireman). Gun hits do not count. Medics may assist role players and players in their faction only.

Medical supplies for the CCPs and medical scenarios will be provided by event staff aside from tourniquets, you must bring your own of these. More information will be given to medics upon arrival at the event.

Capture Rule – At no time will attendees use excessive force to capture another attendee. An attendee may only be captured by giving up willingly. Capturing an attendee earns your team 1 point. You may only hold the captured attendee for a max time of 5 mins. After capture, the captured attendee must return to their PB, bypassing any CCPs in the process. Once at the PB, they may now come back into the event. Violation of this rule will result in the offending faction losing points. No “bang bang”.

Searching Combatants – When searching a killed combatant, you must first ask for consent. If consent is given you may physically search the outer extremities of the body, or the plate carrier / chest rig for intel. If a killed combatant refuses a physical search, he must forfeit any and all intel they may be carrying. Intel is provided by event staff. If you are the one being searched and your 5 min bleed out has been completed, you still must wait for them to complete their search so long as their search was initiated before your bleed out time.

There are 3 main classes of weapons; Rifleman, Machine Gunner, and DMR. Weapon classes refer to the joules that a weapon shoots. All weapon systems will be chronoed with .28g bbs.
