There are 3 possible events you can create. Here they are and explained how:
- Mission Planner: The mission planner is for Main Missions. You have to follow this guide line for the requirements. These events also need approval by CMs.
- Training Planner: The Training Planner is for Training events. If you are running a Training use this calendar.
- Community Events: This is for games other than Arma 3 or special events in Arma 3 which take place during off hours. This includes reserving the server for you and your friends to play together.
If you do something on the Training Planner or the Community Events Calendar, it is preferred that you either take the 2nd Server or make sure nothing else is running at the same time.

General information
First of all a bit of additional information. There will be two types of events for mortar training and evaluation.
Only training (max of 8 people) Training with an evaluation at the end (max of 4 people) Alternatively a one on one training or evaluation is also possible!
This training is an ONLY TRAINING event. No evaluations are planned during this event. If we got time at the end of the event, I might be able to evaluate a person or two! Else look out for the training + evaluation events coming soon™ or do a one on one evaluation by contacting the trainers directly.
All of this will be written up into the mortar section on the forum soon™.
Event information
Requirements:
Have basic knowledge about the ACE interaction system. Be able to do to very basic math at a reasonable speed ... Either in your head, on paper or with a normal calculator. I'm talking about stuff like: 5.88 + (-104.2) = -98.32 0.7 * 8.4 = 5.88 (1 - 793.28 / 1013.25) * 100 * -4.8 ≈ -104.2 What will we teach during this event:
Mortar crew loadout Map reading for mortar setup location. distance to target and height difference How to read rangetables Mk6 / L16 (82mm) M6 (60mm) Kestrel usage (wind, temperature, air pressure) Doing the calculations by hand with basic tools like pen, paper, calculator How to respond to the RTO calling in a firemission How to adjust fire (RTO calls: "rounds where 200m short" or "50m long" ...) How to prepare for incoming fire missions (what can you calculate before RTO calls for the firemission) Load, aim and fire all kinds of mortars (Mk6, L16, M6, 120mm, ...) How to use "extra tools" like the MicroDagr or Vector21 to help with the calculations Very basic drone usage.
Taking part in this training DOES NOT give you any priority during slotting.
RSVP Regulars have priority, FNG's may be able to join if there are not enough Regs+. If you are a FNG do not RSVP. Just write a comment that you would like to take part.
We are limiting the RSVP to 8 people but most of the time not everybody who RSVP'ed shows up. Feel free to just be there at the time and you probably will be able to get in. (This includes FNGs ... just be there on time and more often than not we will include you into the training.)
Be sensible, an amount of extreme fuckery (completely unnecessary or unrelated fucking around, stupid delays due to not paying attention .etc.) will get you kicked out of the training, possibly even with a ban, and maybe even a ban from further trainings.

NEW: WE ARE NOW RUNNING BATTLE BUDDY SYSTEM!
Overview
This training is aimed at people who are new to the FK. Doesn't matter if you're brand new to Arma or you have 500 hours under your belt but no experience with the mods we use.
Topics that will be covered:
How to join and make sure you can successfully join our servers What happens in the FNG and Off-hours rooms Slotting procedure and what happens in the spawn area ACE Arsenal - how to get yourself equipment you'll need ACE Interactions ACE Medical - Basic rifleman first aid Short Range Radio LAT introduction and overpressure BLUFOR vs OPFOR assets static showcase (if time allows) Rangefinding and working with map (if time allows) I also have two loadouts prepared for you, one for BLUFOR, one for OPFOR. They're meant as basic templates you can fall back to, change uniform and be ready to play.
The idea is that you will be able to go straight into a mission after the training and play as a rifleman.
This training does not earn you any tags or direct progress towards a Regular rank. But it will teach you how to play with us and therefore indirectly leads to both.
How to join
Please RSVP here and be at "General Training" room on TS at given time. We will be conducting this training on server 2.
Time in the calendar should be automatically adjusted to your own timezone, but just to make sure, this training will start at 1700 EST. Expect roughly 2 hours of time taken, the extra 20 minutes are there in case of delays and technical issues.
You're expected to have the mods from our modset downloaded via Steam. Also please install the TFAR plugin for your TeamSpeak, if you have any issues with it, come 10 minutes earlier so we can sort it out.
Current modset is here:
The best way of making sure you have exactly what you need is to click that "PRESET FILE" link, open your Arma 3 launcher, go to MODS section and import the file - it will auto-subscribe mods you need, start downloading them and create Mod Preset for FK. Then even if you're playing elsewhere and have hundreds of other mods you'll load only the correct ones.
IP and password will be given to you before we join the server.
