The terrorist attack on the US on September 11, 2001 heightened the risk to global prosperity, as more and more resources were diverted towards military spending and anti-terrorism. The start of war in March 2003 between a US-led coalition and Iraq added new uncertainties to the global situation, and the high cost of establishing order in Iraq became a major global problem.
Yet, throughout history, there have always been powers that benefit from an unstable world – certain organizations, companies and corrupted men depend on suffering, pain and fear. This is and has always been their playground, and they reap ever-increasing profit from it. Hand in hand with the rise of unemployment, desperation, anger and inertia came the ascent of fanaticism, violence and terror. Nationalistic parties, gangs of thugs, eco-terror groups of increased severity and organized crime prospered in the ever-growing shadow cast by the new wave of global terrorism represented by the group Matar.
The Joint Task Force is formed by a total majority vote in the UN on the initiative of the Global Defense Alliance, a subgroup of the Group of Eight (G8). Designed to function with minimal bureaucratic involvement, the organizational hierarchy of the Joint Task Force is very direct, allowing the unit to be flexible and independent. You are about to take command over the Joint Task Force´s first battallion.
The eyes of the world are upon you - you cannot afford to fail.
