22nd SAS Elite Virtual Regiment

Mission Complete

After more than two decades online, sasclan.org is being retired. What remains is not just a website, but the memory of every briefing, every late-night operation, and every friendship forged along the way.

From 2001 to

Founded on March 28, 2001 by [SAS]_Smart, the 22nd SAS Elite Virtual Regiment began its journey in SWAT 3 and later evolved through Raven Shield, SWAT 4, and ARMA 3. Throughout its history, the regiment remained dedicated to realistic, cooperative tactical gameplay, built on a foundation of training, teamwork, and mutual respect. Over more than two decades, this commitment fostered a strong and enduring community.

In recent years, the regiment has been disbanded. However, this website has remained online as a tribute to the legacy of the Mighty.

The platform on which sasclan.org was built has been showing its age for some time and now requires a substantial overhaul to meet modern web standards. Unfortunately, such an undertaking is not feasible, and therefore the website will be permanently shut down as of April 2026.

A read-only snapshot of the website in its final state is available at old.sasclan.org. To explore the full history of sasclan.org, please visit the Web Archive.

The community [SAS]_Smart set out to build was very much alive and well when I first encountered it around 2008, and I officially joined as a Trooper on October 21 of that year. During my time, I formed lasting friendships and created many great memories through countless hours in SWAT 4. One especially memorable moment was a real-life meetup in Germany, where members gathered at a shooting range followed by dinner—an experience that truly brought the community to life.

I will still maintain a few active servers: two Proving Grounds for SWAT 4, as well as one Proving Ground and one Training Ground for Ground Branch. My hope is that they will give former members a place to meet again, play a few rounds, and relive some of the good old days together.

With these words I want to thank you all for the good times. I hope we will meet again someday.

Sincerely,
SAS_CO_DeCapi
Commanding Officer
