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.

Okay, I promise this'll be my last comment.

class CfgFactionClasses
{
class US_2027_MCA
{
displayName="US Army 2027 (Arctic)";
side = 1; <this is the addition which fixes finding these factions in REFOR>
};
class US_2027_OCP
{
displayName="US Army 2027";
side = 1;
};
class US_2027_MCT
{
displayName="US Army 2027 (Tropic)";
side = 1;
};
};

When you unpack the mods US_2027.pbo file and find the config file inside the units folder, and then find this section, adding "side = 1;" under displayName="US Army 2027", this fixes the faction side issue, I'm guessing without an entry it will place the faction by default into REDFOR, which was the original problem.

Anyway, love the work in this mod. Thanks

I'm working on editing the pbo, and I'll let you know if it is a fix.
Keter 1 Aug @ 3:53pm 
Thanks for getting back to me, I think I located the problem for the 2027 mod, that the CfgFactionClasses only provides the display name but requires a side = 1 column to inform that the faction falls under the BLUFOR Category. I hope this information gives you a shortcut at least.

the issue isn't something you specifically can fix. its an issue at the core level of the faction that for whatever reason is causing it to show as OPFOR when I have set to BLUFOR. It's something I have to fix on my end to correct.
Keter 1 Aug @ 3:20pm 
I feel bad for bothering you again, but yes the 2027 mod version does load in, but when I load OPCOM mod, the 2027 faction is listed in the OPFOR list. I'm not having luck figuring out how to edit something so it goes under BLUFOR. I need to do this because it creates friendly fire bugs.
Nightwolf2112  [author] 1 Aug @ 1:45pm 
the other version of this should work. i did make that one through ALIVE so it would properly utilized. I need to finalize some issues with the W28: KAOS mod first before I include it as a dependency and add in the new faction variants.
Keter 1 Aug @ 1:23pm 
Regardless, I'm looking forward to the Faction stuff being hashed out. Thanks.
Keter 1 Aug @ 1:17pm 
Sorry, I should have written this on the 2027 US Army mod.
Nightwolf2112  [author] 1 Aug @ 12:49pm 
Its not a simple fix you can do. its entirely an issue on my end
Nightwolf2112  [author] 1 Aug @ 12:48pm 
@Keter i need to go through and update this. Currently the faction was not made properly due to some issues. I intend to fix that soon enough and include new version of the units to have Woodland, Tropical, and Arctic camouflage as well.
