BEFORE YOU APPLY BE ADVISED - OCB IS A TACTICAL GAMING UNIT. IN ARMA 2 WE TRAIN IN AND USE REALISTIC TACTICS, BATTLEFIELD PROCEDURES AND MILITARY RADIO PROTOCOLS. IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN BEING INVOLVED IN THIS TYPE OF OPERATIONAL STYLE - DO NOT APPLY TO JOIN!
IN OTHER GAMES WE DO NOT USE STRICT TACTICS, HOWEVER THERE IS AN EXPECTATION THAT MEMBERS WILL WORK AS PART OF A TEAM. WITHOUT TEAMWORK, THERE IS NO TEAM.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE AVIATION, ARMOUR OR SPECIAL FORCES ELEMENTS PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT SERVICE IN THE OCB INFANTRY IS REQUIRED BEFORE A TRANSFER TO ANOTHER UNIT IS POSSIBLE. A MINIMUM OF ONE MONTH OF SERVICE AS AN INFANTRY RIFLEMAN, ACTIVELY WORKING AS PART OF AN INFANTRY SECTION IS REQUIRED. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 4 WEEK PROBATION PERIOD WHICH IS REQUIRED PRIOR TO AN ASSIGNMENT TO THE INFANTRY.
ENTRY DETAILS
- ALL members on enlistment are assigned to the Online Combat Battalion Training Platoon
- AFTER a four week assessment phase is completed they will be posted in an infantry platoon.
- During the four week assessment period new members must complete the infantry basic course.
Once an application is received it will be considered by all OCB Officers and a determination made on whether the application is accepted or not based on the information in the application, your level of activity on our server, whether or not you use team speak and whether or not you have a site account and use the forums. There may be a period of some weeks before you are notified of an outcome. There is a requirement to register an account on the OCB site AND have logged into it within 48 hours. If you do not do this your application will be rejected.
If offered enlistment, new members level of server, team speak and FORUM activity will be monitored. IF an applicant is NOT active in any of these areas they should NOT be suprised if their application is declined.
An ability to follow orders of your field commander in game will also be considered. If you want to play lone wolf and not as part of a team, I recommend another game.
Minimum requirements
1. They must be 20 years old or older (exceptions are made to this rule at the Commander’s discretion)
2. They must have a stable, broadband internet connection
3. They must have in game voice capability and be an active user of Team Speak

6. They must have a solid gaming history in the case of experienced gamers, and must not have participated in cheating, stat padding or other dubious behaviours.
7. In the case of new gamers, they must meet all other criteria as set out above. These standards are the general requirements for enlistment. Standards or requirements may be waived at the Commander’s discretion. Some players are of a level of maturity and experience where we are prepared to waive probation periods or other conditions to secure their enlistment. In these instances each player will be assessed on a case by case basis. Not withstanding this, all members recruited must be of good character.
8. They MUST have a minimum of 30 hours of playing time in our public server (FOR ANY GAME)
9. They MUST have demonstrated TEAM WORK skills.
Additional Notes on Recruitment
If a player wishes to be considered for enlistment, they must be active in the unit server for the game they play- Player conduct on the unit server will be observed and logs will be checked if there are any questions raised about their conduct
- Any applicant caught cheating, hacking, or exploiting to gain advantage over others will be advised that their application has been declined
- Any applicant who fails to demonstrate appropriate conduct on the unit server, including poor or no teamwork will have their application denied
- Once an application has been received, there will be a period of time in which the application is assessed. Apart from advising applicants that their application has been received, they may not receive any further advice for some weeks. This period will assist with the assessment of their online activity and conduct, and is not an intentional delay.
Recruitment Process
Those want to join are required to go through the following processes.
1. They must register an account on the unit site at http://ocb.net.au
2. They must make an application for enlistment under the "Apply to Join” link
3. Once the application has been received OCB HQ will check to see that the minimum standards are met
4. After Officers have had an opportunity to comment on the application, a decision will be made as to whether the application will be permitted to enter assessment phases (as indicated below).
5. If permitted to enter assessment phase, applicant will be offered entry to an assessment phase of not less than four weeks.
Full Membership Status
If a recruit is progressed into full membership, they will usually be assigned to the Training Platoon, however the needs of OCB may have members assigned to other units.
Breach of Code of Conduct
If a member breaches the Code of Conduct or fails to meet any other condition imposed by OCB HQ, they may be dismissed. They will be advised of this via email by an OCB Officer.
Dismissal of probationary members will be at the discretion of the Commander.
If a probationary member is dismissed for misconduct their site account will be disabled and all references to their membership removed.
