History



Anzac Tactical Assault Force (ATAF) was founded back in August of 2013 by Staff Sergeant Fiend. Over the next month, he would be hard at work getting the basic paperwork, servers, rules, values & regulations implemented. In September & early October of 2013, ATAF received its first recruits; Spartan who is now the Commanding Officer & Hobbs who is now the Executive Officer

With the 3 of them now together and the 2 recruits trained up, they were then promoted and put in charge of seperate units; Spartan was transferred to the Aviation Detached and promoted to Captain, Hobbs was transferred to 6th RAR and promoted to Sergeant & Fiend stayed as Staff Sergeant and remained in Special Forces. Now the workload started since they had 3 areas to cover and the basic modules implemented.

Over the next months, ATAF received a steady influx of recruits, implemented the first training documentation, constructed and conducted the first Bootcamp. We started to gain excellent numbers, good attendance and had multiple other units asking for Joint Operations. Over the next fe weekes we started to organise Joint Operations and our first deployment mission, "Operation Sealord"

Betweeen December of 2013 and January of 2014, leadership changed from Staff Sergeant Fiend to Captain Spartan & Staff Sergeant Hobbs. The preceeding months after this however would prove to be a difficult time for the unit. Members would com and go, manuals & servers would change and the first (Hopefully the last) betrayal would happen known to ATAF Veterans as the "Great Betrayal"

After about 12 months of Captain Spartan and Staff Sergeant Hobbs comanding the unit, they came to the conclusion of taking a break from ATAF while they sorted personal issues. Anzac Tactial Assault Force was placed in a Stand-Down stated on December 28th 2014 and all personnel went their own ways while still maintaining contact with each other, reminicing about the glory days

In May of 2015, Anzac Tactical Assault Force was placed back into Operations and out of a Stand Down state with Captain Spartan back in the chair of Commanding Officer and the newly promoted Lieutenant Hobbs as the Executive Officer. This time around it would be highly organized, added content, effective training manuals, reworked ranking system and changed from a Tactical Realism Unit to a Military Simulation Unit Straight away we recieved a massive amount of applicants and members in the first 2 weeks. ATAF started training and operations straight away as the HQ staff worked massive shifts to get everything done. This time around, ATAF was more organized, efficient and effective. Anzac Tactical Assault Force was stronger than before, in the first month we were contacted by 3 other units to do Joint Operations, training started, custom missions were created and our first deployment "Back to it" started. We are now 30+ members strong and growing and both members and HQ staff will continue to grow. we have 3 different types of Enlistment available, 2nd Deployment will be starting soon and the first PVP operations will start soon as well. ATAF has grown into a well oiled machine, with all members as small cogs working together in unison
