About the 7th Infantry Division

The 7th Infantry Division is a "Realism Reenactment Unit." This means we use a rank system and structure which is close to how a real WWII Army unit operates, we use tactics and strategies that were used by WWII Army units, and we operate like a real WWII Army unit would. However, we don't allow the soldiers' "ranks" to go to their head. Instead, we use our structure to provide a well-run and organized unit. We play the game, but our leaders also run training, operations, courses, and various schools. Some of our soldiers are former or current military, but many aren't as well. Our soldiers are all a minimum age of 16. To be a paratrooper in this unit, you must be at least 16 years of age to qualify as an enlisted soldier and 18 to qualify as an officer (Must complete the Officer Leaders Course).
