TF Commando

com•man•do n.,pl. –dos or -does. A small fighting force specially trained for making quick, destructive raids against enemy-held areas.

Introduction:
Commandos and the tactics they utilize have had a profound impact on war. They rely on stealth, surprise, and speed to disrupt and demoralize the enemy. During World War II, the Allied commandos conducted several successful raids. Hitler hated the Allied commandos, because they were unpredictable, demoralized the German army, and he was unable to counter them. On October 18, 1942 Hitler issued the top secret Commando Order. All captured commandos were to be executed immediately, even if they attempted to surrender.

Mission:
Alpha: Disrupting and demoralizing the enemy. TF Commando conduct operations against enemy facilities in coordination with the other elements of BWC and ULTRA. The objective is to cripple the enemy defending Terran objectives or attacking Terran bases. Targets include but are not limited to enemy spawn points, generators, vehicle and equipment terminals, and modules.

Bravo: Defending Terran facilities and benefits from enemy commandos. TF Commando will set up deployables (mines, spitfires, sensors) at key Terran bases.

Charlie: Responding to enemy sabotage. TF Commando will be the first to respond to enemy sabotage. The objective is to restore Terran resources, links, and benefits. TF Commando should use sound judgment in requesting assistance from the other elements of BWC and ULTRA.

Purpose:
Demoralizing the enemy: Constantly destroying enemy resources certainly has an impact on moral. The enemy becomes frustrated and confused, and must allocate time and men to repair and defend against us.

Strategic timing: By preparing to drop enemy generators or “ghost hacking” we can time our effects to coincide with those of the other task forces. We can remove an enemy’s shield mod benefit just as TF Rampage is crashing the courtyard. We can eliminate interlink benefits allowing TF Ranger to approach the enemy undetected. We can cancel a pain mod to allow TF Ranger to do a gen drop without taking unnecessary damage.

Countermeasures: No one understands the mind of enemy commandos like TF Commando. We know how to think like them, and to stay one-step-ahead of them. We know what measures to take to deter or prevent them from sabotaging our army. We also understand how devastating their effects can be. By taking the steps necessary to defend key resources we can allow the Terran army to maintain the offensive. By responding immediately to enemy sabotage we can get the Terran army back to full strength and limit the effectiveness of the enemy commandos.

Do you have what it takes?
-Intuition: You must be able to predict the enemy’s movements.
-Insight: You must be able to look at a situation and understand it. You must be able to read the map and determine the best way to hurt the enemy.
-Ingenuity: You must be creative and imaginative. Understand that the best plans may call for alteration.
-Alertness: You must listen and observe the enemy.
-Patients: You must exercise discipline in your actions.
-Dedication: You must be ready to do what needs to be done.
