Operations Command Review
-Kareltjee [EDU CO]
Well, 2016 has come to an end. And boy has it's been an amazing, yet busy year. It makes us wonder, what else is yet to come? Eager as always, we tried to find an answer on our question. Traveling from Unit to Unit, we interrogated them for hours and found out about their New Year’s resolutions.
NEWS Division [NEWS]
For a few months now, NEWS has been busy restructuring A LOT! Looking back at all their difficulties in the past, they are now proud to announce they own a full staff including 2 full-time editors. Perfect, as their sights right now is fully focused on remaining consistent and creating good product for TAW. A community that truly makes the Newsletter inclusive.
To top that off, here are a few more words from Lt. Col. Albenji [NEWS DC].
“In the coming months, and the coming year, we will keep moving forward. Trying to be dynamic, and change with the needs of TAW and the community we represent.
We want to have NEWS back to its old self-by the end of the year, we hope earlier… When that happens I want people to realize that NEWS is not just a hobby for us, we believe that it is an important part of TAW, and it's community. It's existence in part, is due to it's ability to highlight TAW, it's members, the games and give those outside of TAW a glimpse of what TAW is all about. We never forget who we are and our responsibilities. But at the end of the day, like most in TAW, we want to put away the work and play our games with our friends.”
TAW Shop [SHOP]
Just recently the TAW Shop got back in business again, right on time for the Christmas Holidays. Now those days are over, we were eager to ask what new 2017 could possibly bring to a perfectly finished product. With “We hope to expand further from here and make as much money for TAW as possible”, the answer was short and simple yet oh so true. Just think about it, think about it for one small second. When you buy something from the shop you are putting yourself in a win-win situation. Because, firstly, you get a cool item d’oh. Second of all, you contribute to the continuation of TAW’s existence. Isn’t that great? So don’t hesitate any longer and check out that TAW Shop right now!

TAW Streaming Operation [TSO]
For some time now, TSO has been a nonstop factor in promoting TAW. With Kazumi behind the steering wheel of this thriving unit, he had the following resolutions to share:
“TAW Streaming Operations mission is to increase the presence of our community through streaming great content. Our goal for 2017 is to work closely with Army to setup more consistent and regularly scheduled events, activities, tournaments, charity streams, and much more.
Also TSO will be incorporating a Streamer Incentive Program. This program is designed to provide a share of stream donations during a streamers event so long as they are enrolled in the program. Full details of the program will be provided in a Front page Blog post, and streamers interested will be able to contact TSO to discuss further.
Lastly, TSO is expanding our member base to provide a faster and optimal experience for all of TAW. We are seeking EU and NA TI's and Administrators who have interest in how streaming works, and a desire to help TAW succeed.
TSO looks forward to another great year of streaming and community growth.”

Support Division [SUP]
With taking care of all support tickets sent their way and ensuring the website and its wiki’s are up-to-date at all times, SUP is kicking of this issue with their new year’s resolutions. You may think: “That’s all they’re going to do?” No, its all they’re going to do every day of this year, and the year after, and so on... It requires a lot of time, effort and most of all, a dedication for TAW only a few among us have. So while SUP’s New Year resolutions may seem like nothing. Think twice and realize that their resolution is a vital part of our community for all of TAW to benefit from.

We hope you appreciate the effort we've gone through to make Graphic requests a possibility again and request with your hearts content
TAW Eduction Center [EDU]
For EDU, last year was something special. With their transition and name change a little over 6 months ago, they had put themselves in a brand-new jacket, but nobody expected them to reach what they have reached today.
In this short period of time, EDU managed to kick start an online system for their courses. Allowing people from all around the world to do our courses whenever they want and complete them, whenever they want. It definitely was a huge year for them.
With 2017, EDU will try their very best to continue at this pace through spinning up TAW U’s again and completely revamping the TAW Guides! With a little winky-face, it seemed like this was just a tip of so much more to come. So stay tuned for more exciting stuff to come for at least the next 12 months!

Social Operation [SOCOP]
SOCOP is always looking for able-minded people to assist them in the day to day running of Reddit, Twitter, Steam and Facebook, so if you have a knack for social media then give us a shout!
After taking over TAW@WAR a lot of people did not know what exactly to expect from the IX edition. SOCOP stood for quite a challenge to fulfill the high expectations. But SOCOP delivered!
