Understanding the UNITAF Chain of Command

UNITAF is a hierarchical organization structured to minimize communication overhead by limiting information flow through a clear chain of command. Members communicate officially with their immediate superiors and subordinates both in-game and out-of-game.

Organisational Chain of Command (ORGCOC)

The ORGCOC consists of all staff executing the strategic direction of UNITAF, enforcing and promoting policies set by the Commanding Officer. It administers key functions across Personnel, Operations and Training Commands.

Operational Chain of Command (OPCOC)

In-game, a temporary command structure operates on a per-operation basis. From STARTEX to ENDEX, role always precedes rank as dictated by the Order of Battle (ORBAT) and standard operating procedures.

Requirements of ORGCOC Members

ORGCOC members enforce policy and conduct standards across UNITAF, managing all matters within their command. They must act in UNITAF's best interests, taking necessary actions when unable to fulfil their duties, including stepping down or informing their upper chain of command for short-term or long-term absences.

  • Dedicate time to UNITAF and its members
  • Be a team player
  • Support UNITAF's direction even if they might have done it differently
  • Have a good understanding of unit policies
  • Be willing to help others and address negative aspects of behaviour
  • Maintain good personal conduct
  • Set a good example for others to follow

Joining the ORGCOC

  • ORGCOC positions are subject to a six-month rolling term process.
  • Applications for positions are reviewed biannually. 
  • J-Groups and Unit Commands recommend suitable candidates to Central Command. 
  • In-post NCOs and officers can apply for an extension, transfer, or step down from their post each six months. 
  • There are no term limits. 
  • The number of NCO positions in a group may fluctuate with task-force size. 
  • J-Groups and command units can request Central Command to adjust positions as required. 
  • Joining a J-Group requires prior involvement with it before selection to its NCO group. 
  • Selection to a Unit Command requires experience managing a J-Group under its command. 
  • Mid-term vacancies can be advertised and filled as needed. 
  • All appointments are reviewed by J-Groups, discussed by Command Units, and approved by Central Command.
