What is Spagistan?
Spagistan is a former Soviet country in central Asia. It occupies the three eastern most regions of Uzbekistan. The form of government is a military dictatorship. The Spagistani Armed Forces primarily uses Russian and Czech weaponry that has been acquired in the field during operations.

ACE Advanced medical is used for the medical system.

How do combat roles work?
Combat roles are assigned at the start of operations. You may have a preference for a certain role, and we will do our best to put you in it. Showing up on time and being proficient in this role will help you secure it more often than not. Certain specialty roles require you to demonstrate competency beforehand, such as pilots, JTAC, platoon medics, etc. No fireteam roles are restricted in this way. For a list of role descriptions and restricted roles, visit the Combat Roles page.

Ranks exist to show how trained a leader is or how administratively involved they are, they are not designed to create subjugation. For more information on the rank system, view the Ranks page. If you are interested in leading, let one of the Officers know.
