Praetorian Defense Solutions
An underfunded, overpowered Arma 3 Milsim Community dealing exclusively in excessive violence.

Praetorian's Qualification system is the benchmark for operational excellence. Unlike meritorious awards, which recognize service and conduct, Qualifications are binary: you either meet the standard, or you do not. These certifications ensure that every contractor whether in the air, behind a long-range optic, or operating unmanned systems is capable of performing under extreme duress.

Qualification exams must be conducted by either a member of Praetorian's Training Staff, or a member of the unit's HQ Staff. Qualification Officials must possess the qualification themselves in order to be able to proctor the exam.
