To help serve the 15th Anniversary Week of SWAT to your satisfaction, today we bring to you some special content. We came in touch with the army’s creator Ganger90 to learn more about the army’s foundation and his views on it.
This is a daily drop.
What motivated you to open the Special Weapons and Tactics Army back in 2009?
“What motivated me to create this great army was the close friendship and brotherhood the original rogues of Mammoth had established before even being an organized army. I wanted to bring that same group together to challenge and beat the best of CPA, which they went onto do time and time again. My vision has always been for the army to live long beyond my leadership and be a beacon of opportunity for the rising new generations of CPA”

Do you see yourself leading the army once again in the foreseeable future?
“I do feel that I have done all that I can for SWAT as a Leader throughout time and I don’t see myself coming back to lead again however you will always wish you had done more under your leadership, that’s why I hope to influence the next generation to make the best of it while they can and give it all they got. Don’t get it twisted, I have always been and always will be there for SWAT in the future but as far as leading I don’t see myself coming back to be the leader I once was, it’s not realistic unfortunately at this point in life”

How are you feeling during SWAT’s 15th Anniversary Week?
“For the 15th anniversary week it has me feeling very nostalgic, it’s crazy to think that all this started so long ago and yet still a community that stays true to tradition and the virtues of SWAT is still alive to this day. I am thankful and happy that the community has become a home to so many great people over the years.”

Which memories from the army were your favorite?
“For me personally, you know that my history goes wayyy back with this army. I like to reminisce back to when we became an official army and upset ACP in the Semi Finals, the many wars we went onto fight against each other. From more recent times, SWAT retaining the number 1 position with new leaders and maxing 40+ once again after a 7 year hiatus from #1. The new troops that we have introduced to the community in the discord era and gone on to run the army, become great leaders and vital parts of the army is something I always hold close to the heart as well”
Ganger90 SWAT Creator
What is your message to the community?
“My message to the community would be to stay true to yourself, never stop believing in yourself and the army that you come from. Don’t run with the circus, they all get made clowns when the lights are bright enough. Have fun with CPA while you can, there will be a time when your journey will be over, but your army’s journey can go far past yours and that is the ultimate goal. Loyalty always outvalues everything and it’s what makes a real army, a real brotherhood. Anything else is artificial and will prove itself over time. You can accomplish anything in life, put your mind to it focus and work hard. SWAT Forever!”

Welcome to our brand new series of posts here at SWAT! For the first time, we’re creating a series of posts where we ask some questions to our leaders/hcom about their journey in SWAT and in armies. Due to popular demand, the first person we will be interviewing is none other than our creatorGanger90!Ganger has been in CPA for a long time and we all know him as the creator of SWAT as well a leader but is there anything we don’t know about Ganger? Let’s find out!
SWAT has been around for over a decade now! Why did you create SWAT and what struggles came with its creation?
I created SWAT to create an organized platform for all of the rogues on Mammoth who had already loved SWAT before it became an official and legendary army in CPA.
Some of the struggles that came with the creation was dealing with jealousy from other armies when we were first coming up. A lot of people didn’t like the fact that SWAT became such a strong army in a short amount of time.
We all know you as SWAT’s creator and leader but you have been in armies for much longer than many think. What was your first army and how did you find them?
I started off as a rogue for some time and came across armies like Nachos and ACP on the server. Eventually, the first army I officially joined was Nachos I believe before I started making my own armies
You often refer to 2012 as the golden age of SWAT. Can you let our readers know a little more about this year and why it was one of the best years for armies/SWAT?
2012 was when SWAT was finally starting to become an organized and well-trained army. They started to challenge the superpowers like ACP, Nachos, IW and beat ACP in the 2012 Semi Finals of the CPAC Champions Cup. They also managed to take Mammoth for the first time in 2012 and rank #1 on the Top Ten.
We were able to hold a top 3 position in the Top Ten consistently during 2012 as well!

Onto a more fun/casual question now. We all know that you have a love for basketball from your Lebron James videos. When did you first find this love for NBA and is there a specific quote from Lebron that inspired you?
Haha. Yeah I love all sports, primarily basketball, football and boxing. I think it’s a great stress-reliever and hobby to have and would encourage all our troops to try one! But onto Lebron inspiration, one of the greatest quotes that wasn’t actually made by him, but directed towards him is….. “THAT’SS A BADDDDD MANN!!” And I found the love for sports from a very young age, playing football first and eventually basketball and boxing as well
If you could go back in time and change 1 thing about SWAT/ what you’ve done, what would it be?
One thing I would’ve done is do what we’ve done in the newest generation – Make sure that our history is secure and cannot be altered with or destroyed. Many times we’ve lost precious memories of this great army and I take the blame for that.
SWAT has lasted over a decade already, do you have any plans for the future?
In this generation although we have done great and been very successful, we look forward to taking the next step and achieving what SWAT’s main goal has always been. And that’s being number 1 in every way that you look at it, from the experience, the loyalty, and the overall greatness of this legendary army.
