Need a group who can act as an opfor for any airsoft event, milsim, (or movies?), then you've come to the right page. These guys are for hire!  ARES OPERATIONS are the first organised airsoft mercs who will surely bring life and excitement to any airsoft operation. Based in Germany, they offer their services for a variety of operational missions of any airsoft game. And as I always say, I brazenly copy site contents of any well-presented airsoft team website (and continue to wish not to be shot for doing this).

Their website reminds me of a hit video game title, and done nicely.

ARES OPERATIONS is a collective of Airsoft gamers and has no political, ideological or religious intentions. The term „Mercenary“ (or „Söldner“ in German) is focused on the Airsoft hobby only and supports no intentions or meaning outside that hobby. We are in no way related to any real mercenary group or corporations that offer similar services.

All of the displayed weapons on this website are free  acquirable weapons according to the German firearms law (letter „F“ within a pentagon shaped outline). All of the displayed ammunitions have been photographed of demilitarized decorative ammunitions.

THE TACTICAL ADVANTAGE

"Honor through Fighting – Fighting for Honor. ALL WARFARE IS BASED ON DECEPTION – TSUN TZU"

ARES
In the Greek mythology, Ares is the God of War. Ares Operations is a collective of serious Airsoft enthusiasts that primarily seek the challenge of being part of simulated military battles. Ares is a symbol for our conviction.

We are no re-enactors. We are no soldiers displayed in museums. We are no Capture the flag gamers. We are no Airsoft-Kids. Airsoft is only the vehicle for our visions of MilSim.

AIRSOFT MERCENARIES
We are no mercenary re-enactors, meaning that we do not play mercenaries – Ares Operations considers itself as a real service provider and therefore can be “hired” for real.

Our clients can be other Airsoft teams, Airsoft event organizers or Airsoft organizations, that require tactical support (leaders or troopers), instructors or marshals for their events. With our concept of the Airsoft Mercenary we want to help you to close your tactical gaps in gameplay and to support you in your gaming endeavors.

Ares Operations is your tactical advantage.

ARES OPERATIONS

Ares Operations. Our name is our program. Apart from supporting teams to organize their skirms or OPs, Ares Operations stands responsible for complete events and operations. This ranges from simple Skirms over drills and trainings to very complex MilSim operations. In this part of the website all Ares-organized and Ares-cooperated operations will be presented. To keep track with the operations, you can subscribe to the RSS Feed very comfortably.

Ares MilSim OPs are categorized. These categories differ in the complexity and the according requirements for gamers and gear. What all categories have in common is that they all have Situation and a Mission. The complexity is raised by the stage of the category from the lowest stage CAT1 to the most requiring stage CAT3.

CAT1: briefing & debriefing, compact OPs (2-4h "in-time"), usage of short orders, basic Ares Medic Rules, call for a team leader, moderate physical and psychological demands, less numbers of marshals and organizing personnel and requisite material.

CAT2: briefing & debriefing, mostly 6-12h "in-time", creation of a mission plan, realistic Ares casualty/medic rules, simple hierarchy and tasks, increased physical and psychological demands, some elements of the so-called "hard routine" (moderate fitness und willpower is a prerequisite), appropriate equipment und realistic behavior of units and personnel. Increased numbers of marshals und organization personnel and requisite material.

CAT3: briefing & debriefing, mostly 18, 24 or more hours "in-time", creation of complex mission orders and multiple mission plans ("action on"), ultra-realistic Ares casualty/medic rules, authentic hierarchies and tasks, high physical and psychological demands, the so-called "hard routine" (high fitness and willpower are prerequisites), realistic structures, equipment and behavior of units and personnel. Extensive numbers of marshals und organization personnel and requisite material.

If you are in need of backup, you can call them. If you need someone to train and lead your airsoft team, they're more than ready to take the task. So better click this link and start formulating a contract with them. Problem though is, their last update of their website was 12 February 2007. Just hope they're not fully booked.
