11. ADDON DESCRIPTION
=====================

These addons provide a comprehensive set of European mercenary units in the service of the Tonali government. Desert, jungle and urban versions of all mercenary soldiers are included, along with two versions of the BTR-T created by Sebastian Muller (in both Tonali government and captured rebel paint schemes).

Features include:

- Fictional mercenary units in custom Tonali desert, jungle and urban camo.
- New character models.
- Random headwear.
- Newly-textured BTR-T APC in Tonali government and captured rebel paint schemes.



12. BACKGROUND READING
======================

The Tonali Special Forces (TSF) are Tonali Government's answer to the influx of foreign soldiers and extremists sympathetic to the rebel cause.

Recruited mainly from central and eastern Europe by an Executive Outcomes sub-contractor, in reality most TSF soldiers are neither special forces-trained, nor Tonali, although they fill a vital role within the Tonali Defence Force (TDF). Although not - technically - Tonali citizens, TSF soldiers are integrated into the TDF. This is done to prevent resentment from within regular TDF units, and to draw less attention from the international community. 

On the battlefield, identifying TSF soldiers is not difficult, as they wear distinctive Tonali camouflage not issued to the TDF rank and file. However, TSF units are more often found working with TDF scouts in the bush, leading assault missions, training squad and section leaders, or hidden away in a comms/intelligence shack. For this reason, the international media and other external observers get few opportunities to identify TSF soldiers as foreign fighters.

Within the TSF, teams are loosely based on special forces team structures from around the world. Typically, a patrol is made up of specialists trained in the fields of heavy and small arms, engineering, demolitions, and signals. Beyond these core competencies, other specialist skills that the TSF brings to the Tonali conflict are as varied as the individuals within its ranks.

All TSF soldiers are trained in advanced first aid, and are expected to be both self-reliant and capable of providing medical support to others (including civilians). If a team member is sent into a village for intel, and a child needs rudimentary medical care, he is expected to be able to diagnose (with assistance via the radio if necessary) and provide basic treatment for the patient. Similarly, during combat, if a medic is incapacitated other TSF soldiers are expected to step-up and fill that role (rebels tend to target the radio operator first, and medics second).

Missions most suited for the TSF include demolitions, covert assassinations, small to heavy arms training and tactics, signals, CQB/urban tactics, and training in mechanical and civil engineering.

We hope you will enjoy making and updating missions with the BAS TSF and BAS BTR-T addons!
