About Us
FschJg Btl241 is a modern German Bundeswehr Mil-Sim airsoft team. We chose modern German Bundeswehr
as our model for many reasons; our desire to be unique is the primary reason, but a close second is
the uniform pattern. Both Flecktarn and Tropentarn blend with the Southern California enviroment like
no other. We consider ourselves a mil-sim team as we practice and apply squad based tactics while
participating in events. We are constantly practicing communication, dedicated roles and marksmanship
in efforts to make ourselves more battlefield effective.
We play primarily at SoCal Airsoft events
located in Ventura
and occasion we make the long drive up to NorCal for random games when the road trip demon bites. Please
see our calendar for upcoming event dates.

History
On a rainy day on the 10th of November 1999, the 15th Militia was created in the digital world
of counter-strike to unite the lone wolves of the CS community. After 3 years of great success,
those of us who desired more formed an unofficial paintball team in Southern California for basic
woodland play. Based out of SC Village, many weekends were spent in the bush hunting down fellow
paintballers, but we still desired more. Something more realistic and tactical. Paintball felt like
TFC and did not have the edge of realism that drew us to CS in the first place. Then came airsoft.
After many hours of internet research and observing a few local games, we were hooked. Of the 4 of
us who paintballed, 2 of us fully converted to airsoft without hesitation, promptly selling all of
our paintball gear. Our first official appearance as an airsoft team was at
Operation: Crimson Dunes
in August 2002. Since then, we have participated in countless local events and most of the large
weekend Ops that are in our area. We have even had members participate in international airsoft
events as recent as November 2003 at CS Urban in the United Kingdom.
As the team grew and our skill increased, so did our intrest in mil-sim airsoft reenactment. In April
2004, a unanimous vote was cast to transform the structure of the team into that of the modern German
Fallschirmjager or Paratroopers. Along with the new structure came a new name. While we are very proud
of our roots, the name '15th Militia' no longer represented who we are. While not wanting to use a real
unit's name out of respect, we did want to come as close the real thing as possible. After lengthy
discussions and Q&A sessions, the name Fallschirmjägerbataillon 241 was chosen (KDO241 for short).
