{{infobox unit
The 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment is the premier gaming clan in the tactical realism community which is due in no small way to the breadth and professional excellence of our technology platforms and services. A carefully tested and maintained collection of custom and off the shelf software provides our members with the tools necessary to build and expand a vibrant virtual community. These tools help bind us together in common goals and values in spite of our divergence into multiple games. Carefully selected and maintained server hardware with complex hosting relationships are the foundation of the S6 Department which is expertly administered 24/7 by a dedicated cadre of highly skilled volunteer system administrators and development staff. The S6 Department is the home to those hard working individuals.
