Legacy

Brian Britton's career in the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment was exemplary from the moment he enlisted. Britton graduated boot-camp at the top of his class, being named Honor Graduate, and transferred into the First Battalion Training Unit. Here, Britton began his career in ARMA 3 as a Combat Engineer in Charlie Company, and immediately started to exceed the expectations of what it meant to be a Trooper in the 7th Cavalry. After taking an extended leave of absence, Britton returned in full force and began to participate in operations. It was at this time that Britton was awarded his first medal during Operation Black Gold. Britton continued to serve in Charlie Company, now as an Airborne Infantryman, and participate in numerous operations, such as Operation Husky, to which Britton received a Purple Heart, Joint Service Commendation Medal, and Joint Meritorious Unit Citation. Britton discharged from the Regiment in 2019 returning in 2020 to aid with the creation of the War Thunder Starter Platoon. Britton became known as War Thunder's great leader by his fellow brothers. The section practices he lead voluntarily earned the name "The Battles of Britton," earning Britton the nickname "Britain". Britton continued to participate in all areas of the Regiment during this time, including numerous ARMA 3 operations, and many section practices the like. Once the War Thunder Starter Platoon was stood down, Britton did not hesitate to transfer into a new are of operation in the Regiment, Hell Let Loose. Britton believed that "The Hell Let Loose Community is the greatest Community I've ever seen, and that is where I want to be," and it is where he would be until he passed September 2nd, 2020. Britton was a highly active and enthusiastic trooper in Hell Let Loose, War Thunder, and ARMA 3; attending operations, section practices, establishing relationships with his brothers, he was more than just a trooper, a brother, he was a dear friend to all around him. In honor of Brian Britton, the entire Hell Let Loose AO gathered to pay their respects to him, organizing a ceremony with full honors in his name at the Church of St. Mere Eglise.
