Campaign Name	Operation Torment
What will your campaign bring to UNITAF?	For this campaign, I am bringing the United Task Force as a faction, and I want to really challenge people, similar to Operation Eiche back in the days. Operation Torment offers players the unique experience of fighting a peer-level, state-backed adversary commanded by former NATO tier-one and tier-two operators. It fills a distinct gameplay gap by forcing players to fight an enemy that knows and actively exploits NATO doctrine and procedures. We should run this to test our players' tactical discipline, specifically requiring them to master electronic warfare survival, strict counter-drone measures, and rapid manoeuvre under extreme pressure.

Campaign story	Set in 2029 on the divided East African island of Isla Duala, the campaign centres on a total administrative and military takeover by the Blackthorn Response Group (BRG). BRG engineered this occupation to secure NIGHTSOIL, a massive, newly discovered rare earth deposit, funnelling these strategic materials directly to adversarial state actors. Because conventional Western militaries are politically paralysed and cannot openly intervene, UNITAF has been deployed as the only viable option to completely dismantle BRG's control.
Campaign objectives	The primary mandate of Operation Torment is the complete destruction of the Blackthorn Response Group's military capacity and command infrastructure across Isla Duala. As UNITAF forces advance to defeat the DRZ Defense Forces across all operational zones, the ultimate end state is to secure the NIGHTSOIL rare earth deposit beneath the highland plateau, halting any further unauthorized extraction by BRG. Fulfilling these operational objectives will serve the overarching goal of restoring the conditions necessary for legitimate governance to function on the island once again.
Campaign focus	The campaign heavily emphasizes combined-arms gameplay against a conventional, heavily equipped threat. Core gameplay focuses include methodical infantry clearance against meticulously prepared defensive networks. It also demands highly disciplined motorized and dismounted movement due to constant drone surveillance and GPS spoofing. Finally, it enforces hypermobile artillery and mortar gameplay, as the enemy possesses counter-battery radar that will instantly target static fire elements.
Friendly Factions (BLUEFOR)	The primary friendly faction is the United Task Force (UNITAF), which serves as the main manoeuvre element, operating under classified executive authority from contributing nations. UNITAF is directly supported by an attached naval component providing amphibious lift, naval fires, and maritime air support, alongside an air component covering close air support and tactical airlift. Because UNITAF does not hold territory itself, it relies entirely on a partner force to secure the ground it clears. This partner force is the Dualan National Liberation Front (DNLF), representing the armed resistance to the BRG occupation. The DNLF comprises former soldiers of the disbanded island armies, displaced highland community members, and civilian resistance fighters. While they lack the capacity to assault prepared defensive positions or sustain offensive action against significant resistance, they are crucial for holding cleared territory. Serving as UNITAF's garrison force, the DNLF provides unmatched local human intelligence regarding communities, informant networks, and safe houses. They operate as a distinct partner with their own command structure, rather than a subordinate element to UNITAF.
Hostile Factions (OPFOR)	The primary adversary is the DRZ Defence Forces (DRZDF), a fully structured state-level military rather than a simple mercenary group supported by local auxiliaries. Its core consists of the Blackthorn Response Group (BRG) Professional Cadre, comprising approximately four thousand two hundred former tier-one and tier-two operators who command at every critical level and maintain three dedicated Combat Groups (Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie). Beneath them is the National Army, a force of roughly nine thousand five hundred re-equipped soldiers drawn from the remnants of both previously disbanded island militaries. The lowest tier consists of the Territorial Battalions, encompassing around eighteen thousand conscripts who act as a comprehensive, island-wide surveillance and early-warning network with embedded BRG command elements.
Independent Factions (GREENFOR)	The independent faction on the island will be the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilisation Mission on Isla Duala (MONUDI). This UN peacekeeping force has been strictly confined to three cantonment positions located at Forteza, Camara, and a logistics hub near Lukasa since early 2028. Commanded by General Emmanuel Oduya, MONUDI is strictly a non-combatant entity and poses no threat to UNITAF operations. However, they are highly valuable to the campaign's success, as they possess the most comprehensive terrain and population intelligence outside BRG itself, meticulously recorded throughout their pre-occupation deployment and subsequent confinement.
