TL;DR

Extensive material on how to play Arma 3 is accessible via the button below. The intent is to import the information into this website one day.

Sometime in April of 2025 the Endurance Coalition had the intention of making Arma 3 a core component of the community and, thus, introduce formal processes to participate. One of these processes would be "certification", where a person would not be permitted to play a particular role in an operation1 unless they were certified on it (or other exceptions applied).

A set of "certifications" that would be required for all members, regardless of desired role, were Standard Qualification 1 and 2. These were designed to teach someone unfamiliar with the game enough to participate in a "serious" operation comfortably. They were both completed and accessible on the community wiki; the wiki that was then deprecated in favor of this website.

The Endurance Coalition's serious interest in Arma 3 died before implementation of the certification process, making the written training documents more or less obsolete. However, they are still excellent material on how to play the game in a general sense.

It is intended for the information in the documents to be imported properly one day. Until then, the wiki pages have been retained in PDF form.
