Introduction
Welcome to the official webpage for the 7th Cavalry Modpack. Officially dubbed as "CavPack".
CavPack is a package of Arma 3 mods that have been chosen to be used in all official 7th Cavalry Operations. We try our best to select mods that would fit well in the experience we are trying to provide for our members.
Currently our modpack is running on all three of our training servers.
