Arma 3 milsim enlistment and unit applications, properly run
Milsim units run more like small organisations than gaming clans. Enlistment, basic training, section assignment, specialist qualification, promotion boards — all of it needs a record, and none of it belongs in a Discord thread that scrolls away in a week.

Enlistment records living in a Discord thread and one admin's memory
Recruits going quiet between application and first training session
No structured way to run specialist qualification or transfers
Guildbase gives your unit a real enlistment pipeline: a branded application form, a basic training exam, an interview stage with your recruiting NCO, automatic rank roles in Discord and a permanent record of every decision your command team has made.
Applications Arma 3 communities actually run
Every one of these is its own template with its own questions, requirements, reviewers and workflow. Build the ones you need and ignore the rest.
Enlistment applications
Your main recruitment intake, covering availability, mic quality, previous unit service and willingness to follow a chain of command.
Specialist and qualification applications
Applications for pilot, medic, JTAC, marksman or engineer slots, each with its own prerequisites and qualification exam.
Section and platoon transfers
Internal moves between sections handled as tracked applications, with the losing and gaining section leads both able to review.
NCO and command applications
Promotion boards for leadership positions, with situational questions and a required interview with existing command.
Zeus and mission maker applications
Recruit the people who build your operations, with links to previous missions and scripting experience.
Staff and administration applications
Recruit the people who run your Discord, website and modpack, separate from your in-game chain of command.
What Guildbase does for Arma 3 communities
The features that matter when you are running intake for Arma 3, not a generic form builder.
Basic training exams
Attach a timed exam covering your SOPs, radio procedure and rules of engagement, and require a pass before a recruit reaches an interview.
Recruiting interviews
Require an interview stage with your recruiting NCO, with the outcome recorded on the application for the rest of command to see.
Rank roles and callsigns
Assign rank and section roles in Discord automatically on acceptance, and set nicknames to your unit's callsign format in the same action.
Prerequisite gating
Require completed basic training before a specialist application can be accepted, using requirements based on the outcome of previous applications.
Permanent service record
Every application, decision, reviewer note and stage change is stored, so a promotion board can see someone's full history at a glance.
Command-only visibility
Role based permissions mean recruiters see applications, NCOs see interview notes, and only command can accept. Internal notes never reach the applicant.

Questions worth asking on a Arma 3 application
Steal these. They are the questions that separate applicants who will stick around from applicants who wanted to see what was behind the form.
- 1 What is your Steam profile and total Arma 3 hours?
- 2 Have you served in a milsim unit before? Which one, and what rank?
- 3 Do you have a working microphone and can you use TeamSpeak or Discord comms?
- 4 Which timezone are you in and can you attend our weekly operation?
- 5 Are you comfortable following orders from players who outrank you?
- 6 Which role are you most interested in: rifleman, medic, pilot or crew?
- 7 Do you have experience with our modpack or mission editing?
- 8 Why do you want to join a realism unit rather than public servers?
Arma 3 application FAQs
Is Guildbase suitable for an Arma 3 milsim unit?
Yes. Milsim units are one of the strongest fits, because enlistment is genuinely a multi-stage process: application, basic training exam, interview, then assignment. Guildbase models each of those as workflow stages with their own actions and reviewers.
Can I require a training exam before enlistment?
Yes. Attach an exam covering your SOPs and rules of engagement, require a pass, and only then let the application move to the interview stage. Question pools rotate questions so answers cannot be shared between recruits.
Can I track specialist qualifications?
Yes. Run each qualification as its own application template with prerequisites, so a member has to hold basic training before applying for pilot, medic or JTAC slots. Every qualification is then part of their permanent record.
Does it assign rank roles in Discord?
Yes. Workflow actions can add rank and section roles, remove the recruit role and set nicknames to your callsign format automatically when someone is accepted.
Can different parts of my command team see different applications?
Yes. Role based permissions let you decide who can view, review and accept. Recruiters can screen, NCOs can interview, and only command can make the final call.
Does this work for Arma Reforger units too?
Yes. Nothing in the application system is tied to a specific Arma version, so units running Reforger, Arma 3 or both use the same enlistment pipeline.
