About UAL

Before the idea of the United Airsoft League was ever conceived there was a group of friends, with similar interests in mind, who decided to embark on a task that would seriously change the way they spent their spare time for years to come. At first they had no Idea what kind of organization they could create in a following that was gaining more and more popularity in the state of Texas as in all around the world.

After graduating high school, 18 year old Brandon Ross and friend Alex Mulder decided to purchase 2 Tokyo Marui M4A1 Automatic Electric Guns from Dentrinityshop.com. After receiving these marvelous “toys” many close friends of the two men became very interested in buying these guns as well, to play in mock combat wars that had already been taking place with spring powered versions of the same Airsoft weapons. Soon afterward 16 year old Brandon Lundgren, 18 year old Sean Monrad, and 19 year old David Bixler followed suit. After a short period of time, all the men had their own camouflage, boots and Airsoft gear. With little knowledge of the new “sport” all the men ventured into the woods as much as possible to fine tune their skills in the art of simulation combat. They were a loosely tied group of friends with roughly similar interests that worked in the same place. This place or hole to hell was also known as, Cinemark Tinsletown 17 in Grapevine, Texas. They all affectionately called themselves the “T-town Skanks” and joked about someday playing in massive wars with Airsofters and actually making a name for themselves among the best in Texas. They would find this goal to be within their grasp. Soon they found on the internet a local Airsoft organization that was holding an event in Maypearl, Texas. Operation Inclement Weather was scheduled for September 21, 2001. All five of the original members traveled south to play in the first event that would continue a tradition two years into the future.

Alex Mulder was given the rank of Captain, while his partner and tactical lesser, Brandon Ross was given the rank of First Lieutenant. David Bixler, a close friend of both “officers” was given the rank of 1st Sgt, while the seemingly eager and youthful Brandon Lundgren was given the rank of Master Sergeant. A late addition to the roster, Sean Monrad was given the rank of Corporal and was the first to get an upgrade to his G3SG1 so that it fired at 400 feet per second rather than 280 fps. This they soon realized was essential to Airsoft survival. These five men later went on to lead and participate in major battles throughout the next 2 years. Mulder and Ross participated in a courageous defense of a bridge at OP:IW later called the “Debacle at Point 4.” Brandon Lundgren won VIP for being the only member of a Special Forces squad to complete a vital task. Sean Monrad more recently was the temporary XO of a squad of 10 UAL personnel at OP: Sneaky Devil in Austin, Texas. He was responsible for assisting in saving UAL from being burned alive by the Airsoft “flamethrower” when he approached from behind and asked for the surrender of both him and his assistant machine gunner approaching UAL from the rear.

After a year or so of loosely affiliated players that seemed to come and go, including Phillip and Ninh, Alex and Brandon began to play with the idea of a unit name, then shortly after, a unit patch and t-shirt. Organization began to play a major role in keeping what was first called the Underground Airsoft League, which was soon changed to United Airsoft League for publicity reasons, still in service as it is today. Many more started to join up including Terri Fernandez and Jan Stone. People that all of the members of UAL started to meet were becoming more and more interested and fascinated with what seemed to be a pastime growing in popularity. Friends of friends were being sent to play Airsoft with UAL, soon becoming close friends themselves, including Eric Flye, Nathan Horton, Zach Gibson and Brandon Wichman.

The summer of 2003 ushered in a new era of command when Alex Mulder went off to US Army boot camp to soon become PVT. Orous Alexander Mulder. Ross took over command and soon after saw phenomenal recruiting rates as half a dozen people seemed to join at once. Many more started to join up including Terri Fernandez and Jan Stone. In the late summer of 2003 the 5th Freedom from Flower Mound, TX joined the ranks of UAL. In the spirit of tradition and respect UAL split into two squads. The Treehogs, and the 5th Freedom. This also lead to the promotion of UAL commander Alex Mulder to the rank of Major. This added many friends including Capt Tanner Mahan, and Chris Hahn from 5th Freedom. In February of 2005 Major Alex Mulder served as the Desert Commander, and led his Army to victory at Operation United Response. In the Fall of 2005 UAL participated in MOUT training, as the agressor force, with the United States Marine Corps Reserve. Along with new found friends at Kastwayairsoft.com UAL gave the Marines hell.

In the summer of 2006 Alex Mulder served as the Desert Army commander at OP Hard Six in Austin TX. This was a difficult task with the layout of the OP, but fun was had by all. In the fall of 2006 UAL took to the road and ventured to their first out of state OP. OP Irene IV held at Fort Knox KY. It was quite a drive but well worth it. Also in the Fall of 2006 Brad Bardsley stepped up and participated as the Desert Army commander at OP Highstep put on by Aaron Benzek of Airsoft Retreat, formerly of the Gaiziger Scouts. In the Winter of 2006 Brandon Ross served as the Desert Army commander at OP Reindeer Games 5 hosted by Stinger Team of Jacksboro, TX.

As of now the United Airsoft League looks to the future, with hopes of continuing cooperation with the local Airsoft teams, and eventually using local decommissioned industrial areas for combat. UAL is ready for the next few years, moving down the road of success in formation to eventually reach a level of popular recognition in the state of Texas.
