Veterans Alliances / VETERAN

Veterans Alliances was not our first choice in naming this site. As we looked we found many of the names were taken, but we felt this name best describes what we want to do here.

Veterans Alliances was formed by veterans who game together online. We first met under the veteran’s only group First Veteran’s Battalion (1VB). First Veteran’s Battalion was formed soon after America’s Army was released in 2002; its membership was over 400 strong and was based around America’s Army. As America’s Army declined some of 1VB members tried to expand into other games such as Battlefield 2. Others wanted 1VB to become a support group, which included sending out care packages to soldiers deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. As fewer and fewer members played America’s Army and became interested in other games they ended up leaving for one reason or another. 1VB ended up surviving as a group in Facebook. Many of its members are splintered across different gaming groups playing different games.

Our goal is to reunite former members and to expand by forming a larger group. We see many smaller veteran groups playing different games online. All these groups are doing their own thing with a sole purpose to try and recruit new members to grow their groups. They are also paying for services which include web sites, TeamSpeak servers, game servers, etc.

What we offer is a place for different groups to consolidate resources and save money, a common hub, a common goal, and an alliance between other vets groups. They can keep their structures, their members under their own division. We do all have one thing in common, we all volunteered to serve, and we are veterans, we are brothers.

To become a member of Veterans Alliance you need to either be a veteran, active military, or be referred by a member. Spouses (Household 6), dependents, and friends of veteran’s can also join by being sponsored.

If you are part of a group and want to have your group join the Veterans Alliances, create an account and post in our forums. We take all applications seriously and will get with you as soon as we can.

Benefits include a larger group who has your back. In such games as the soon to go public Star Citizen, having a large alliance means being protected and having access to a large pool of resources and allies. In other games such as America’s Army Proving Grounds it will allow us to have leagues. In games as World of Tanks we will run strongholds. Teamwork will take us places.
