So I've spent the better part of the afternoon tinkering and experimenting with this.

On Al Rayak, I placed modules for RHS USMC (AI commander, Civ obj, Mil Obj, Mil Logistics). I then placed Player combat logistics..and set it to Side and Faction.

I then placed down a player unit as RHS Socom Operator. I called in Logistics for 2 USMC Squads to land near me. It says the helos were loaded..then it says they were destroyed in transit. I called in Air Drop for the same squads...nothing.

I then switched to a player unit as RHS USMC Soldier. Same thing..called in logistics....RHS Choppers show up, drop off the troops.

I tested this several times. The common theme appears to be that if I play as an RHS Socom Operator I can't call in any logistics at all. If I play as US Army or USMC, logistics works.

Just passing this along.

Actually, I'll take it one step further.

Socom Operators will not come in via ALiVE logistics of any type, only US Army and USMC units will.

Also...if you play as a SOCOM operator...ALiVE logistics will break and nothing will come in, even regular USMC or US Army units.

I don't know if any ALiVE Devs have looked into this before. But its definitely happening after several hours of testing.

I'm assuming those groups in that faction aren't configured for ALiVE? But even so...if I'm calling in RHS USMC units playing as an Operator..shouldn't that still work?

Sort of maybe related to this, and for all I know it's intentional. I'm working on a mission that is set to Faction only for logistics, with that faction being RHS USMC desert. When playing as an RHS USMC woodland camo unit, for logistics I can't call in the desert units because they don't show up on the list (the desert units being the only faction I let spawn in the mission. The woodland pattern units play a support role and are for players only). When I call in these woodland units, which is my only logistics option, nothing arrives even though I was told they were delivered.

I'm actually not surprised nothing comes in because the woodland units aren't in the forcepool. It's just disappointing setting faction for logistics seems to revert to my player unit's faction, and not the ones controlled by the commander, which would be needed for logistics to work.

@Docbuck yup. Figured that out about a month ago. Thanks anyway though. I'll never forget that again, that's for sure.

Which faction are you using?

I meant which faction exactly?

Yep. Thanks for clearing that up.

I use RHS a lot so I'll take a peak at one of my missions to see if logistics are working for me. I have absolutely made the same mistake of not using all 3 requirements before FWIW. I didn't realize that was a pre-requisite until recently either.

GREF does work with ALiVE if you group them properly. I have properly configured GREF factions in the ORBATRON shared drive. Logistics will work.

Damn, missed that. Time to try some GREF factions soon. :)

For which faction? I realize you said it's all of them, but which factions have you tried?

These are the supported factions from the wiki. Any of these?:

US Army (Woodland): rhs_faction_usarmy_wd
US Army (Desert): rhs_faction_usarmy_d
US Marines (Woodland): rhs_faction_usmc_wd
US Marines (Desert): rhs_faction_usmc_d
Russian Federation Troops: rhs_faction_msv
Russian Motor Rifle Troops: rhs_faction_vdv
