R&R

The R&R Alliance is an alliance that was established on the 13th of November, 2006. A week removed from its creation, the R&R grew past 20 members, drawing its support from its original America's Army forums, soon eclipsing 40 members. By the start of the Second Great War, the alliance's growth seemed to fall from grace, its enrollment rate dropping dramatically. However, R&R quickly recovered from the brief respite and soon passed the ever-elusive and sought-after goal of 50 members, setting a path of slow but constant growth that would bring the alliance to reach sanction in Spring 2011. Now they currently hold strong with over 200 members. The alliance has surpassed the 4 million NS mark, the 5 million NS mark, and the 6 million NS mark throughout its history, and nearly broke the 6 million NS mark once again prior to the start of the Equilibrium War.

R&R vs. RnR
The official name of the alliance is R&R. However, when technical limitations prevent the use of the "&" symbol, a lowercase "n" is substituted. Some examples where RnR appears are:
 * The alliance affiliation box
 * The forums of the R&R Alliance
 * The R&R IRC channel on coldfront

R&R members have a strange devotion to the Ampersand (&), and many are quick to correct those who mistakenly use "RnR" in place of "R&R."
