Ranger Training Clubs 

The 5 Mojave Ranger Troops, 1st SFG MIKE Force and OpFor serve as the models for the Ranger Training Clubs. Ranger Training Clubs have a club commission from any sales from the Mojave Ranger School catalog, made within the Team’s area by the Team or through their Team link. Club members can qualify individually for a variety of stipends and bonuses from the General Fund. Ranger Training Clubs have specific training and service goals.

IP Infringement and Club Decorations

There is no common standard for how various corporations enforce their Intellectual Property guidelines and laws.

If you have a current Fallout-themed group that operates together for free as a COSPLAY unit at Fallout events or locally, such as the 31st Motorized Infantry or the 91st Cascadian Rifles, then you are not in violation of any IP’s, probably.

What we can not do is form and staff actual NCR battalions, for money.

Mojave Ranger School sponsors Fallout and post apocalyptic themed clubs who provide real-world outdoor skills education locally, which is different than raising a regiment of NCR troopers.

You are free to decorate your club with as much Fallout, Mad Max or other pop culture accessories as you like, as long as it’s clear that you do not represent the NCR or any other real-world business, except your club.

Get Paid to Manage Ranger Training Clubs 

A Ranger Training Club is a for-profit micro-franchise that pays local instructors to manage a Mojave Rangers game in their local area. Fort Edwards is the central training and operational base for the Mojave Rangers, with Mobile Training Teams that operate remotely and bring trainees to the fort for certification.

3^rd SOB has 3 Ranger Clubs at the moment. Troop 1 of the Mojave Rangers operates near New Vegas; Troop 2 is in the Boneyard and Troop 3 in the Fresno area. Each Troop operates as a for-profit micro-franchise with its own instructors, managers and Merchant’s Guild Sales Team.

Club Funding

Each Troop has a Team Link for the Fort Edwards PX and makes a 5% club commission on all sales made through the link. The 5% commissions are intended to pay for local club liability insurance and club operating costs.

Clubs make a 10% over-ride on all sales from their Merchant’s Guild Sales Team. The Merchant’s Guild Sales Team manages flea market, farmer’s market and event booths and sells Fort Edwards PX products.

Clubs make commissions on Credit Builder and ebook subscriptions and run annual sales campaigns.

Clubs with certified instructors run local BLS and aviation training, which provides incomes for their instructors as well as profits for the club.

Free Courses and Paid Events

The Ranger Basic and Leadership Courses are free to all Mojave Residents. Clubs with properly certified instructors can run additional first aid, BLS, drone and Milsim events for a fee. Clubs send 10% of paid event fees back to 3^rd SOB: 5% to the General Fund and 5% to the operating cost fund.

Manager Training

3^rd SOB provides free training for managers who want to establish a local club. Club Managers are required to complete the Ranger Basic, Leadership, Special Forces and C&GS training, which takes 2-3 years depending on the prospective manager’s starting experience.

This free apprenticeship program trains Club Managers in all aspects of 3^rd SOB operations while helping managers build their own for-profit franchise from the ground up.

Rank-Based Stipends for Club Members

Club members who meet the requirements earn rank-based stipends, course graduate and other bonuses from the General Fund as well as other commissions as part of the Sales Team and as cadre for paid events.

Developing local Ranger Clubs lets 3^rd SOB pay local instructors to teach first aid, radio and outdoor skills in their own neighborhoods, using a fun, post-apocalyptic LARP game.
