To celebrate the founding of our detachment 25 years ago, we gathered in Helsinki. This time, instead of camouflage, we dressed up a notch — some more than others. There were speeches, shared memories, and excellent food.

On top of his expertise with anti-tank weapons, alik Sioux proved skilled with a chef’s knife, single-handedly preparing a three-course meal for the celebrating detachment.







The meeting was an excellent start for the live events of the 25th anniversary.

Local Defence Detachment Kyllikki was founded on 30 March 2001. On the 25th year of operations, Kyllikki celebrates her history in a variety of ways: anniversary games will be held, detachment meetings convened and memorabilia created.

Over the years, well over a hundred players have fought and served in the ranks of the Detachment. Many have stayed in LDDK's Reserve, enjoying other games played in our community and participating in biannual meetings and other events, while the combat infantry platoon continues to conduct operations in Arma 3 every Sunday evening outside of Christmas and summer breaks with an outstanding 90 to 100 per cent strength.

LDDK continues her sure-footed march towards Arma 4 and future decades as one of the oldest Finnish gaming communities.
