Comrades,
Folk uses their own modset on their server, and some of the mods are not on the workshop.
It's not many, though.
What I describe here is the easiest way to get set up for the joint op. It assumes for now that you use the Arma 3 launcher, the original one that comes with the game.
First of all, we'll install the non-workshop mods.
If you have any more questions, let me know, I'll help out.

What I describe here is the easiest way to get set up for the joint op. It assumes for now that you use the Arma 3 launcher, the original one that comes with the game.
First of all, we'll install the non-workshop mods.
- Create a folder somwhere, and call it "Folk".
- Then, go to this webpage: https://server.republicoffolk.org/fth_repo_files/
The first three mods are marked "local". Donwload the zip files, and unpack them in the new directory.
- Next up, launch the Arma 3 Launcher. Usually, this is achieved by pressing "Play" on Steam.
- Once the launcher window is up, click on the mod tab. In the upper right corner is a menu called "preset". click it, it will open a side bar with options "Save", "Save as" and at the very bottom "import" (Note: If there is a message bar open, a green bar, close it to see the import). Click "Import" and when the file requester pops up, copy and paste the web page ("https://server.republicoffolk.org/fth_repo_files/") into the filename filed. Click open.
This will create a new profile "Imported preset".
- Now, click on the "+ local mod" (top bar), and successively add the local mods you downloaded in step 2, one at a time. Just enter the @XXX directory and press ok.
- Add these local mods to the profile by clicking the check mark in front. The mods are called "FTH Event mods", "Teamwork (FTH Event)", "Advanced Combat Radio Environment 2".
Note: The latter is an old, modified version of ACRE. If you see two ACRE mods, select the one without the steam symbol behind it.
- Click save
