Mission Statement
Honour, friendship, loyalty, fair play, and respect.
Most important is to have FUN!
Code of Ethics
No Cheating, Glitching or Exploiting.
This refers to any type of software, or 3rd party program
that alters the game in a way in which the developers
did not intend it to be played. This also includes any
form of cheat or hack that gives the player an
advantage which other players cannot legally or fairly
obtain, and or a hack or cheat that puts other players at
a disadvantage.
Never make public accusations of cheating, neither against fellow TAW members nor
against anyone else. Should you suspect someone of behaviour that violates the
TAW Code of Ethics concerning cheating, produce evidence to support your claim
(such as screenshots) and relay this to your chain of command privately. They will
take all necessary steps from there on.
No Moonlighting
Members of TAW are not permitted to be in any other
team or gaming clan in Brink. This rule also extends to
all games that are supported by TAW. For example: if
you are a member of the TAW Brink Division then you
cannot be a member of another organisation that
supports Call of Duty as TAW supports this game too.
You are, however, free to be part of the TAW
community in any games that TAW supports.
No Formal Alliances
TAW does not maintain formal alliances with other clans, teams, or organisations.
This is to protect our integrity and keep ourselves out of other organisation‟s affairs.
We do, however, encourage contact with other organisations on a friendly basis.

Events
Battle for the Ark
TAW internal tournament
Organised team play
Participation is mandatory for all
members.
Separate tournaments for all bat-
talions, floating or subbing for other
battalions is always possible.
Fun is paramount.
Training Seminars
Training seminars are offered by both NA and EU
Battalions.
NA Battalion: Sundays/Tuesdays @ 2100 EST
EU Battalion: Sundays/Wednesdays @ 2100 CET
The training seminars are organised by the Training
Specialist and held by Training Instructors or the
Training Specialist in person. The seminars allow you to acquire new skills from
experienced players who specialise in training new members. Therefore, if you
attend them regularly you should see your overall game play improve.
Scrims
External scrims against other teams can be organised by staff or ad hoc by
members.
Keep in mind that you represent The Art of Warfare in external events. Good conduct
and sportsmanlike behaviour are expected of you in all phases of playing and
regardless of the outcome of the battle.
Victory through Teamwork, Knowledge, and Skill

Participation
There are two mandatory events per week which you must attend.
You need to be in the Battalion‟s Headquarters channel on time as this is when the
attendance for the night will be checked.
If you cannot attend an event or arrive late then you need to send in an excusal. If
you fail to attend an event and you do not send an excusal you will be marked down
as AWOL (absent without official leave). After three AWOLs you will be discharged
from TAW under a normal discharge.
You will receive external participation credit for attending external events such as
training seminars.
TAW & Real Life
TAW respects the real lives of all its members.
We appreciate the dedication and commitment of our members.
Members can send in excusals for short term absences but must request 30 day
leave if they are going to be absent for a prolonged amount of time. Additional 30
days of leave can be granted by the Division Staff in special cases.
In the worst cases, to avoid a normal discharge through absence, members can
request honourable discharge. The status of honourably discharged members will be
fully restored when they reapply at a later point.
Conduct & Behaviour
TAW members treat other and non TAW members
with respect, regardless of their rank or position.
Wearing the TAW tag makes every member a
representative of our gaming community. Con-
sequently, every member of TAW is held to a high
standard of conduct and behaviour. Good behaviour
will not go unrecognised while serious breaches of conduct or our Code of Ethics will
result in dishonourable discharge from TAW.
We do not tolerate inappropriate or abusive language of any kind in our Teamspeak
server, on any forums or any servers. Swearing or insulting others are a no go.

While we encourage all members to recruit, out of common respect we do not recruit
on other servers other than our own.
TAW members are expected to be respectful to all event leaders and follow their
instructions. After all these leaders invested time in trying to help and TAW, therefore
out of respect do as they say and observe weapons red.
Weapons Red
Do not fire any weapons or use any equipment. Do not deploy turrets or mines.
Do not leave your spawn unless instructed by staff or the event leader.
Be silent unless instructed otherwise. In training events you should always pay
attention to the person who is instructing. Sometimes you will be asked to perform
actions for training purposes, which you should, but you should always cease fire
when asked to by the event leader.

Organisation
We are all equals in TAW. You do not need to
call anyone sir or address them with their
ranks.
The military ranks in TAW show the
responsibilities of members and usually go
along with certain functions.
After four attended events, every recruit (REC)
becomes a private first class (PFC) and
therefore a full member of TAW. Once a recruit
becomes a full member, they will have full
access to the black pages and TAW forums.
Recruits are probationary members and
cannot ask for leave.
We encourage members to step up to higher
positions and to accept greater responsibilities
within TAW.
Promotions are awarded for good attendance.
Ranks higher than sergeant can only be
attained by accepting a function.
Ranks & Chain of Command
Each Rank has a corresponding symbol and
an abbreviation to represent it. When
connected to Teamspeak you will be able to
see each players rank to the right of their
name.
A division (unit in TAW of all players that play
one game) is lead by a Division Commander
(DC) and his second in command, a Division
Officer (DO). These two officers hold the ranks
of lieutenant colonel or higher and supervise
the division.
Below the Division Staff is the Battalion Staff
who run the battalion (regional unit) and fall
into the category of Officer Ranks; it is lead by
the Commanding Officer (CO) who is in charge of the battalion. His second in

command is the Executive Officer (XO) who manages attendance during mandatory
events. The third in command is the Staff Officer (SO) who manages recruitment and
in-processing, including the Drill Instructor (DI) personnel.
The Battalion Field-NCOs (non-commissioned officers) are also part of Battalion
Staff. They include the Server Administrator (SA) who administrates the TAW
servers, The Field Specialist (FS) who organises and runs BFA, and finally the
Training Specialist (TS) who runs all training and supervises all Training Instructor
(TI) personnel.
Drill Instructors are responsible for boot camps of new members. Keep in mind
though, that recruitment is everyone‟s job! Training Instructors are responsible for the
training of all members who are willing to learn.
The Platoon Leader (PL) is the highest ranking field leader position and usually in
charge of one of the platoons in BFA. He is assisted by his Squad Leader (SL) who
acts as his second in command. Further, Fire Team Leaders (FL) lead fire teams, the
smallest units that constitute a platoon. Remember that one man is no man and that
teamwork is the way to victory.
When referring to „contacting your CoC‟, members talk about addressing the person
in the function directly superior to yours. For a Recruit that is any Drill Instructor, and
for a regular member that is the Platoon Leader. They can help you with most things,
or relay you to someone who can.

Medals & Badges
Medals are awarded for special achievements or extraordinary service
rendered to TAW on or off the battle field.
Badges are awarded for passing proficiency tests in in-game skills.
For a full list of medals and badges check
http://taw.net/taw/awards.aspx.
Note that not all badges are applicable to Brink or might not be available for testing
because the corresponding tests are still in development or not yet approved.

TAW E-Mail
Every member of TAW receives an e-mail address. E-mails sent to
callsign[at]theartofwarfare.net will be directed to the e-mail account the person
signed up to the TAW website with.
Although you can contact any member in TAW using the TAW e-mail address, you
still use your own email address to send the email. Therefore make sure to sign your
emails with your call sign e.g. Jamieson.
Forums
TAW provides its members with a number of public and private discussion forums
which all members are encouraged to use. If you have suggestions, have found
something exciting in the game, or would like to comment on an existing thread, then
please do so!
Keep in mind, however, that the boards are no place for arguments and that
complaints and criticism should be presented in a respectful manner.
Server Funding
Membership in TAW is free. However, we always appreciate donations to support
funding for our servers.
The donations page can be found here: http://taw.net/taw/donations.aspx.

After a minute or so you should then see the recruit symbol appear next to your
name in Teamspeak, Welcome to TAW!
Most people in TAW have the blue Teamspeak light. These are ordinary
members. However, staff members will usually use the orange Teamspeak light
when they are holding private meetings. Therefore, you should never enter a channel
in which there are members with an orange light on.
It is best to private message the person and to ask permission to enter. However,
you see all the staff members with orange lights in the command post then should
not enter under any circumstances.
If you would like to connect directly to a specific channel, then you can set up
Teamspeak to send you there directly after connecting to the server. To do this
switch to the channel you would like to connect to directly, go to Bookmarks >
Manage Bookmarks, then select your TAW TS3 Server bookmark, click on More in
the lower left corner of the window, click on Make Current Default, and then click
Apply. Optionally, you can also check the box on the lower right that says Connect on
Start Up which will immediately connect you to the TAW TS3 Server when you
launch TS3.
