Induction order of contents
Welcome, induction is to orient you to UNITAF and explain 3 key things

• a bit about us
• how to get involved with our combat operations
• how our progression works and next steps
• It will take up to 45 minutes, UNITAF has a lot of automation and what I'm going to show you are things that will help to orient you to our way of doing things and make you aware of things you'll need to know once you join

I will also answer any questions you have

The induction is informal, so feel free to ask me if you have any questions at any point.

About UNITAF

• Active Company Sized MILSIM Unit
• Quite a large and active group in comparison to the wider community
  • 130~ on the active force, each of these persons deploying min 1x per month, but an average of 8x
  • we average around 30 deployments per month, a mix of practices and operations, more on that later
  • average age 27, min age 18
  • diverse group, 30% NA/CAD, 30% UK, another 40% EU and rest of world (32 countries in total)

[SCROLL TO BOTTOM OF HOMEPAGE / REALISM WHERE IT MATTERS SECTION]

there are lots of different terms used in the wider community, semi-milsim, realism, chillsim, relaxed milsim etc

• UNITAF is on serious end - we do things the way they are done in real life, if it makes sense to do it that way
  • in game, forced 1st person, medical system, radio system, advanced ballistics etc

So that is a bit about us, are there any questions so far?
(if any questions will be answered in the following sections, then just say that, don't answer them)

Operations and how to join them
Let's look at Combat Operations and how to get involved in them, we assume that's why you are joining.

Two things that make UNITAF pretty unique, which are that we are;

• non fixed schedule
• non fixed ORBAT

Let's explain what that means;

Non fixed schedule: Typically in a unit such as ours, you'll commit to a mandatory attendance schedule, for example Thursdays and Sundays and usually deploy in the same team in the same role - we call these "Opt-out groups" since it's assumed you will always attend, and if you can't you have to make an excuse not to do so.

UNITAF is an opt-in group, it's what we call our Dynamic ORBAT system, we never assume that you will attend - you sign up for operations 'opt-in' when you can attend, choosing your unit/team and role. We only have a problem if you sign up and don't turn up, which is called a no-show.

We have quite complex systems that manage this process and in a moment, I'll show you how that all works.

Non fixed ORBAT means that of 600 deployments we've run in the last 2.5 years, not one has had the same people, in the same role, in the same team. This might seem odd, but UNITAF has a very high level of cohesion as everyone is trained the same way. This system gives ultimate flexibility and choice complimenting our busy lifestyles.

[OPEN OPERATIONS CENTER - AND HOPE YOU HAVE OPS YOU CAN SLOT ON TO DEMO WITH]

• Explain that there are two types of deploy, ops and practices - explain difference
• Explain why they say Operation XXX i.e. there are campaigns with arching stories
• Explain times are UTC but converted to local
• Explain weather and time of day attributes, if you don't like fog or night ops, don't turn up and complain about it
• Explain slot count (our ops range from 18 to 80, we don't deploy everyone all the time, allowing a range of experiences)
• Explain op type
  • Peacekeeping, lowest end - high roleplay low contact
  • COIN /. Counter Insurgency - medium roleplay medium contact - in the middle
  • Conventional - high contact low roleplay
• Explain the deployment button, and that the further the op is away the counter appears, generally we 'slot' 4 days before 'execution'
• Ask if everyone has used mod presets before

[CLICK ON MOD PRESET TO DOWNLOAD ONE]

• Show them the file, and demo it's use if people don't know
• Head to account settings, explain
  • mod optionals
  • DLC ownership
  • other game pings
  • own AAR history

[BACK TO OPS CENTER]

Now let's look at that 'opt-in' process, once you've found a deployment you want to sign up to click on the deploy button
