Join the 509th
A Message from the G.O.A.
Welcome to 509th Tactical Gaming!

Are you ready to up your game?  Are you looking for something better than just "run and gun", bunnyhopping and dolphin diving all over the place?  If so, you're in the right place.  Here at 509th Tactical, we promote tactical game play and are wholly devoted to providing an exceptional tactical gaming experience. With a remarkable legacy spanning over two decades and an unwavering motto of Duty, Honor, Courage, we epitomize the essence of teamwork and strategic brilliance.

At the core of the 509th lies a resolute purpose, driven by a meticulously crafted Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that governs our every action. Our SOP ensures that each member upholds the highest standards of professionalism, discipline, and unwavering dedication. We firmly believe that genuine tactical gameplay surpasses mere shooting skills; it demands an unyielding commitment to learning, critical thinking, sharing knowledge, and an insatiable thirst for victory.

At 509th Tactical, our emphasis lies in quality over quantity, and we maintain this standard through a meticulous vetting process. We are dedicated to bringing on only the best and most exceptional individuals to join our esteemed ranks. You may ask what does "the best of the best" mean to us? It signifies the epitome of human qualities.

While we do and can teach shooting skills, movement techniques, and provide tips and insight to enhance game knowledge, there is one aspect we cannot and will not teach – being a good human being. How you interact with and treat others around you are paramount in achieving the status of the "best of the best." Our motto, “Duty, Honor, Courage” which resonates through our core, guides us to act with Duty, embody Honor, and embrace Courage in all our endeavors.

By selecting members who possess outstanding social skills and personal behaviors, we have cultivated a thriving community since 2001. Our legacy of excellence endures because of the remarkable individuals who come together under our banner, fostering an environment where true greatness flourishes.  Members earn rank, medals and time served awards based on participation, improvements, and contributions toward and for the group. 

Beyond our distictive selection process, our server infrastructure is unique as well.  We have a dedicated server box that ensures us optimal control and performance over games we host.  Unlike rented virtualized servers which share resources with other renters, we have our own.  This distinction enables us to offer a multitude of games and gaming servers.  As long as a public server file exists for a game, we can run a server for that game and have completely control over it. 

For content creators, we also have server website hosting, which means if you need or want a website, we can host it for you along with providing a dedicated YouTube channel where you can share your gameplay videos and showcase your talents to a wide audience. Streamers can take advantage of our official Twitch channel to broadcast their live gaming sessions, fostering a vibrant and engaged community.

And that's not all – our dedication to gaming excellence extends to both global and geographically local gaming tournaments. With a proud history spanning over 20 years, Our Geronimo Squad has participated in thousands of matches in both games we host and in games we just play. Our commitment to participating in competitive gaming will test your mettel and remains unwavering.

If you possess a competitive streak and strive for greatness, we welcome you to join our ranks and secure a place at the table among the very best. Embrace the opportunity to compete at the highest levels, where your skills will be put to the ultimate test and where victory becomes a reality. Our legacy of competitive prowess speaks for itself, and we eagerly anticipate continuing this journey with passionate gamers like you.

In conclusion, we want to emphasize that at 509th Tactical, we wholeheartedly recognize and embrace the significance of real-life priorities. We understand that your personal obligations and responsibilities must always take precedence, and we encourage you to maintain that perspective.

As a gaming community, our aim is to provide a welcoming, supportive, and family friendly "home away from home" environment. A place where you can find camaraderie, share your passion for gaming, and forge lasting friendships.

Moreover, we hold a deep respect and admiration for first responders, law enforcement personnel, and those who have served or are currently serving in the military. We stand united in our gratitude toward their service and dedication. As a service member or first responder, you are not only welcomed but also celebrated within our community. We acknowledge and appreciate the tremendous sacrifices they make to ensure the well-being and safety of others.

At 509th Tactical,  We strive to foster an inclusive and supportive atmosphere, where everyone feels valued and respected.

Now that you’ve learned a little about us, join us at 509th Tactical, and let's embark on an extraordinary gaming journey filled with camaraderie, competitive spirit, and a passion for greatness.

Enlist now and become part of our legacy!

Duty, Honor, Courage.
