If one wishes to play in the arma 3 division, is it dayz standalone or the mod for arma 3 that I have to own?

If it's standalone, do I have to still buy arma 3 to be in this division since it also has some Dayz action going on?

Because I haven't bought arma 3 yet, only Dayz SA. Anyways just wondering how that works.
