== Overview ==
'''Marine Special Operations Team (MSOT) 8213 – Task Force Raven''' is a MARSOC-style Arma 3 realism unit focused on authentic small-unit tactics, teamwork, and immersive operations.  
Our goal is to replicate the doctrine, culture, and professionalism of Marine Raiders while adapting it to a structured yet approachable Arma 3 environment.

== Mission Statement ==

* Conduct special operations using authentic doctrine  
* Work as a team in small, specialized elements  
* Build camaraderie through training, deployments, and shared mission success

== Core Values ==
* **Professionalism** – Conduct yourself with integrity, both in and out of operations  
* **Teamwork** – Success depends on trust, communication, and mutual support  
* **Excellence** – Strive for mastery of your billet and contribute to the unit’s overall effectiveness  
* **Realism with Respect** – Balance authenticity with fun, ensuring an inclusive and engaging experience  

== Structure ==
Task Force Raven is organized around a single MSOT (Marine Special Operations Team).  
Within this team, members can specialize into billets such as:
* Critical Skills Operators (CSOs)  
* Radio Operators (RO)  
* Joint Fires Observers (JFO)  
* Breachers  
* Designated Marksmen (DM)  
* Special Operations Combat Medics  
* Engineer / EOD Specialists  
* Mobility Operators  

Leadership roles include Element Leaders and the Team Chief, ensuring discipline, direction, and mission success.  

== Training Philosophy ==
All operators complete a structured pipeline beginning with:
* **Application & Selection** – Testing physical and mental readiness  
* **Initial Training Course (ITC)** – Core operator skills and team integration  
* **Specialized Billet Training** – Developing expertise in designated roles  
* **Advanced Qualifications** – Opportunities such as Airborne, MFF, SERE, and Recon courses  

Training emphasizes both classroom instruction and field application, ensuring all operators are ready for deployment.  

== Operations ==
Our campaigns are built to simulate real-world challenges, including:
* Counter-insurgency  
* Direct action raids  
* Special reconnaissance  
* Hostage rescue  
* Foreign internal defense (FID)  
* Unconventional warfare  

Missions are dynamic, persistent, and player-driven — every success and failure impacts the larger campaign narrative.  

== Why Join Task Force Raven? ==
By joining, you’re not just another rifleman in a generic milsim unit. You are part of a small, tight-knit team where:
* Every billet matters  
* Every operator’s skill contributes to mission success  
* Every mission feels personal and impactful  

We hold ourselves to a high standard because that’s what makes victory meaningful.
