What We Are About
The 4th Infantry Division is an international, English-speaking, realism unit for Day of Defeat: Source. In our realism unit you will find a command structure, the occasional history lesson, great people, great servers, and a place to belong for those who are dedicated. The unit portion of our definition is a WWII military feel and experience which we attempt to recreate while upholding the greatest respect for those who fought and died. The realism portion means we often host and take part in realisms which you will be able to learn more about in our forums.
We try to keep as close to the WWII military rank structure as possible and in doing so follow a code of conduct which respects ranks higher than our own. This helps us recreate a military feel. With this respect comes a command structure which is used to help run programs and services within the unit. Ranks also allow for promotions, these are earned by helping the unit achieve its potential.
As a realism unit we are quite active and expect comparable activity out of our members. We regularly run squad drills, have matches, hold public events (usually with a historical context), and administer both our Basic Combat Training (BCT) program, which recruits need to complete to join us and our Advanced Infantry Training (AIT) program, which helps our members hone their talents in-game.
Ultimately our goal is to provide our members with a great community and a realistic experience whilst maintaining an enjoyable variation upon Day of Defeat: Source gameplay.
