About 7th AST

We Don't find the from..... we CREATE it

Squad History

7th AST has been involved with WWII Online since January of 2001. 7th AST was first created as the United Forces in January of 2001. It consisted as the 1st Infantry (Big Red One (BRO)), 1st Airborne, 1st Armored, and 11th Armored. Immediately after release, it was realized the the organization we had was not doable with WWII Online. The squads had a meeting and decided to merge under one squad key. b2k was asked to be the permanent CO. Emporer1 was the 1st XO. It was hoped that with the consolidation to one squad key and merging of chains of command, that the squad would become more streamlined. On 2 Aug, 2001, it was reformed as the 7th AST. 1st Airbourne became 4th Infantry (pending implementation of paratroopers), 11th Armored became 103rd Infantry, and the SOG and 31st Fighter Group were established. We are fighting under the French flag until the US comes into play. Our primary focus is ground, but have squad nights on all types of equipment so that we are familiar with their capabilities. 7th AST is being modeled on the Force Structure of the US Army's 7th Corps (VII Corps) in WWII. With a few minor tweaks, 7th AST began its conquest of the battlefield. 1st Airborne was renamed as the 4th Infantry Division (pending paratrooper implementation), 1st Armoured was created, 103rd Infantry Division relaced the departed 1st Infantry. Finally, an air unit, 31st Fighter Wing was created. And thus the 7th Army era was born. From 1.01 until Version 1.65 was released, 7th Army remained a dominante force on the battlefield. The 31st Fighter Wing was renamed the 41st Jaguars. Briefly, 7th Army also fielded a British sub-squad, the Royal Gurka Regiment. With the change in capture rules, 7th AST again underwent change. The squad was restructured to its current configuration. 103rd infantry was renamed the 3rd Infantry and assumed the offensive role for the squad. It also absorbed the 1st Armored Division in an attempt to streamline the chain of command further.4th Infantry maintained it's role as a defensive unit.The 41st Air Wing, Anti Armor (Anti Tank) and support units were consolidated into the support division.
