New Model Army (US Army 2020-2025)

Description
Though I said I was retiring from Arma in 2024, I have found that the pull to this game is neigh impossible for me to not ignore. However, I'm not in a position to be super active in mod development or unit stuff until I finish with college since I'm set to graduate Spring 2025 and will then be moving on to work on other projects. This includes a fan fiction that is set in 2040 and will follow a military unit based on this mod and the A3 storyline.


A Faction mod depicting a fictionalized modern-day United States Army, intending to bridge the gap between various content, this mod will suit your modern day needs.

In the aftermath of the Global War on Terror, the United States Department of Defense embarked on a modernization effort aimed at enhancing the capabilities of the United States Army. Throughout the 2020s, a series of innovative advancements were introduced, revolutionizing infantry weaponry and equipment.

Central to this modernization drive was the introduction of the Mk16/Mk17 rifle system, designed as the "Squad Leader Rifle" program. Even after controversies regarding the program, the Mk16/Mk17 quickly garnered recognition for its versatility, reliability, and adaptability to various combat scenarios. Equipped with modular features, including caliber interchangeability between 5.56mm and 7.62mm, the rifle provided squad leaders with flexibility and stopping power.

Complementing the Mk16/Mk17, the standard-issue M4 has gotten an upgrade package. The new M4A4 variant, equipped with better ergonomics and an enhanced rail system. And now with new optics such as the AICO and further upgrades to the ACOG, this rifle has been one of the most versatile and reliable rifles in the entire Armed Forces.

Furthermore, specialized units within the United States Army has been given the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) goggles. Designed to provide soldiers with enhanced situational awareness and augmented reality capabilities. This upgrade further ties the Army with the "Full Spectrum Warfare" doctrine.



THIS MOD CONTAINS 2 FACTIONS,
  • US Army 2020 equipped with Mk17's, M4A1's, and regular NODs
  • US Army 2025 equipped with Mk17's, Mk16's, M4A4's, and IVAS goggles.
  • Spawnable vehicle groups ranging from Motorized, Mechanized, Armor, and Helicopter Flights
  • Array of vehicles with modernized crewmen, courtesy of RHSUSAF
  • Array of turrets and emplacements, with gunners respective to their faction.



  • Minor clipping issues here and there

Please, if there are any other issues that you found, please report at the discussions tab


  • US Marine Corps faction
  • Additional BLUFOR Factions (British Armed Forces, Livonian Defense Force, etc)
  • Additional OPFOR Factions (Russian Ground Forces, CSAT Forces, etc)
  • US Special Operations (SOCOM, SEALS, MARSOC, JSOC)
  • Updating previous mods with new additions, such as (not limited to) updates to W28, Aegis, etc.
  • Whatever else we can think of...



- kfclover for the idea and screenshots
- Nightwolf2112 for faction scripting
- Aegis Team for the brilliant Aegis mod, and serves as a base for this mod.
- Grave, for creating the awesome JCA Armoury, which gives us one of the best weapon mods in Arma 3.
- RHSUSAF for vehicles
- Simcardo (Brian Hates Games) and Motta, for the W28 mod, which pretty much sparked the idea for this mod.

I'm not sure to be honest. I don't play antistasi so I can't confirm
PARIS 18 Jul @ 12:58am 
is this compatible with antistasi?

not currently, i would like to make that happen again though. I have to go in and fix the configs to prevent the ALIVE loadout manager from overriding the randomizer

i don't really have a patreon just due to how the EULA works with BI and the mod devs out there. I'd rather avoid the headache.

I'm more ecstatic to hear you enjoying it. Keep your eyes out for an upcoming retexture modpack i'm working on. It's going to be a continuation of my S&S KAOS mod but with 43 different camos for the W28 and W35 mods. I'm also going to look at setting up actual factions for the different camos, but only select ones since the intent of KAOS is to provide a westernized OPFOR or Mercenary set or training factions

@Nightwolf2112 Sounds amazing man, can't wait!

@Fedrix Thank you mate! I really try to make content that I believe will do the best to help you all with your missions and stories, but also to have fun so I really appreciate the support.

I do have to say that I am looking into a set of retextures that might be included in this mod that will give this the ability to have more options for operations. This would include Arctic, Tropical, Woodland, and Black Ops camouflage based on the OCP.

Once college is over with i'll be doing some experimenting with retextures but if things work out well enough I'll see if can include them in here for you guys to enjoy as well.
