Principle 5: Inspiration not imitation

Real-world military doctrine, tactics, and procedures serve as a valuable source of inspiration for UNITAF. We study real-world examples to understand effective military principles and identify concepts that can enhance our gameplay. However, we explicitly reject the notion of simply imitating real-world practices without critical evaluation or adaptation. We never adopt a procedure or doctrine "just because" that's how it's done in real life. This is not sufficient justification for UNITAF.
