The 1st Battalion of Virginia Volunteer Infantry is a NA/EU Group
Mustered on October 28th, 2015
In the 1st Virginia Infantry Battalion, you are expected to be active, mature and well disciplined. In order for you to be able to advance up the ranks, you must show that you are capable of following orders, making constructive suggestions and have a good ability at the game. It is also preferred if you are active on War of Rights forums and on Steam, but most important is overall activity within the regiment.
The regiment is also about a sense of community in addition to realism. You are going to be held to a higher standard of maturity and activity in our regiment, established October 2015. Our members earn additional rank by participating and helping run the unit, not through individual skill. And while we remain competitive, we place a higher premium on teamwork and participation.
We pride ourselves in keeping all unit activities well-organized. Tired of groups who screw around and don't keep things moving? You'll find none of that here. If you want to be apart of a brotherhood of gamers who thrive on dedication, discipline, and teamwork, then this is the place for you. We are continuing to grow by the day. If you join up, you will be rolled into our Cadet class. The program will cover tactics and provide an introduction to how the unit works. The emphasis in Training is the platoon and regiment. No matter your own skill level, you will need to get used to relying on others and following orders.If you are interested in joining the 1st Battalion of Virginia and want to know more about who we are and what we do, then add First Sergeant MacMillan (<---- click name) on Steam for details.
Code: As it has already been mentioned, we are aiming to represent one of the finest regiments that existed, therefore our members must meet our etiquette. If a member is to do well within the regiment they must do their best to follow the Code of Conduct. Following this will lead to promotions if the member is proficient enough to do the task; 1. They must be respectful to everyone no matter the circumstance. This may be fellow members or players out with the regiment. This also covers insulting someone, racism, retaliation in-game, bullying and discrimination. At all times you are representing the regiment and must show the highest level of maturity. 2. Follow Orders. This is extremely vital as you must follow orders given by your Commanding Officer or Superior to the letter and must be done so without argument or hesitation. If you don't agree with the tactics being used by your Superior there is a time and place to bring your point forward. During events is not the time and you must respect their decisions. 3. They must learn and train to become proficiently skilled soldier in tactics as well as skill. 4. A member must remain active to be a useful contributer to the regiment, attend trainings and events when you can and if not please inform us so that we know. 5. Extreme behavior and discipline is to be shown at all times no matter where you are. During linebattles there is to be no head banging, fidgeting in line and aiming your weapon at a teammate. Members must use the Permission To Speak (PTS) system during events if requested by the commander. This is to avoid anyone speaking over the Commanding Officer when commands are being given and PTS must not be abused. During linebattles the main chat is not be used by anyone except the Commander.

Teamspeak is an extremely important for the regiment. It is imperative that every member of the regiment has teamspeak as it is needed for communication. The regiment cannot function without this therefore it is a requirement that every member has it. Rules for in game still apply on teamspeak. This is very important during events and off topic as well as unneeded chat will not be allowed. Members must also remain, going by our values, mature and respectful at all times.
