Graham E. Dunkle Team Leader, EAG Combat Simulations’ Special Operations Group 25 November 2002
HISTORY
"There is no hunting like the hunting of man…"
After a little over a year of active participation and interaction within the eastern coast Airsoft community, EAG Combat Simulations’ operators Graham Dunkle and Joshua Cunningham came to realize that the “Airsoft experience” had left them with many hopes and expectations unfulfilled. Although the discovery of Airsoft had led them out of the elemental Paintball period and helped them move closer towards their lifelong pursuit for realistic combat simulation, Airsoft alone was clearly not the final destination. After many months of careful consideration and reflection, Joshua and Graham agreed that while Airsoft had provided the right “hardware” for realistic combat simulation, the culture of the Airsoft community was not consistent with their vision. After some discussion of these realizations with some other seemingly like-minded individuals within their local Airsoft community, they found their general dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs to be shared and decided to take action. Graham and Joshua began to build the framework for an organization devoted to the promotion of military and tactical combat simulation, a group dedicated to the concept of teamwork and the principles of excellence, potential, integrity, and humility. Early in the days of January of 2001, they introduced this framework to a scrupulously chosen few. These individuals concurred and the EAG Combat Simulations’ Special Operations Group was established.
MISSION
All team members must share a common purpose and vision. We must have the same goals. To function as one cohesive unit, every ESOG member must believe in and abide by the following code:
OPERATE centered around the principles of excellence, potential, integrity, and humility. REMEMBER what is important is the effort, the sense of accomplishment, and camaraderie. We will not forget the extreme importance of hard work and learning. REVERE the admirable characteristics in other elite units such as being committed, dependable, and enthusiastic, and; attempt to implement those and other similar characteristics such as being loyal, organized, and principle-centered into our own existence. RECOGNIZE our strengths and develop our capacity as a team that is adaptable, confident, diligent, reliable, skillful, and trustworthy. HUMBLE ourselves by acknowledging that we can be disorganized, unreliable, and uncommitted and by constantly striving to transform our weaknesses into strengths. ENVISION ourselves becoming a team that is organized, skilled, and honest. One that is recognized as such by others in the combat simulation community. NAME
The name of this organization shall be “EAG Combat Simulations’ Special Operations Group” (ESOG). PURPOSE
The purpose of EAG Combat Simulations’ Special Operations Group is to provide opportunities to learn and improve realistic simulated combat skills and to provide opportunities to participate in accurate military and tactical combat simulations.

Upon satisfactory completion of the probationary period, all active EAG Combat Simulations’ Special Operations Group members present will cast and anonymous vote in favor of or against awarding the recruit active membership. Membership beyond any initially stated period does not in any way imply a change in membership status. Recruits retain that status until they are notified of a change.

Membership may be revoked by a majority vote of the active members if actions are deemed inappropriate by the membership.

TEAM TRAINING
Team training will be held bi-weekly after team administrative meetings. These training sessions allow operators to develop individual/team strengths, eliminate individual/team weaknesses, and learn new skills while increasing team cohesiveness, efficiency and effectiveness. Training objectives will be discussed in a “classroom” manner, reinforced through direct action drills and then finally applied directly through inter-team or opposing force scrimmaging.

At times, emergencies such as severe weather or power failures might disrupt team operations. The decision to postpone or cancel a team function will be made by the team leader.
