Merlin blogs about the Operation Varsity which is an Airborne MilSim that just took place over the weekend... "They sure look like they might miss the airport completely…a few S-turns, a couple flares and Jumpers and Jumpmasters alike are safely on the ground, on target, met by their pathfinder squad on the ground (the recon Cessna only affords so much space, and gear had to be 'dropped' prior to the jumpers and collected by their squadmates on the ground.)

Without anytime to collect their thoughts, or to soak in the amazing feat that so few MilSim Participants can claim to have achieved, they are off into the woods, faces painted, dressed in the uniform of the enemy cartel whose ranks they are now attempting to join without notice. The target are 3 high value targets (HVTs, members of FKM Airsoft), one of which must be collected and escorted back to the run way for the recon Cessna to exfile out of the AO.

Meanwhile, Milsim teams such as the Sheepdogs (Miami), Spectre VI (Tampa), Dakota Milsim, Suicide Kings, East Coast Tactical Squad and more, push their way into cartel lines, many not aware of the secret insertion that just took place."
