The Tonal Scouts
Formed by a retired Rhodesian captain and former legionnaire, the Tonal Scouts are the mainland�s first line of defence. Mostly made up of white men from African bush wars, the scouts are expert trackers, stalkers, hunters and guerrillas, though they recruit indigenous young men with hunting and tracking talents. Spending their time patrolling remote and jungle regions of Tonal, the scouts are the primary intel source for the TDF. They don�t have the hardware of the western special forces, but with their training and knowledge of the archipelago they are the elite of the TDF.
As the only TDF unit capable of spending extended time in the jungles, the scouts are also used for direct action and rescue missions, and their specialty of guerrilla warfare and counter insurgency operations. Following the 2003 Government policy of zero-tolerance of rebels forces, the Tonal Scouts have been working tirelessly on locating and destroying rebel assets in the jungle and suppressing rebel income sources. Aside from the jungle, the scouts are often used to support regular TDF infantry in assault, as their skill and knowledge of the terrain can turn the tide of many battles.
The scouts are also used as guides for international peacekeepers and occasional SF who deploy. Interactions with SF has also given the Tonal Scouts extra counter-insurgency training. They have the skills for undercover work amongst the population, and are in closer contact with the locals than any other TDF soldiers. Due to tight knit tribal groups being near impossible to infiltrate, local black scouts will more often be used for undercover work. The majority of plain-clothes operations by scouts have taken place at the end of longer investigations, during the raids and busts in towns and Tonali's that occur often to suppress rising anti-government militia.
United States Marines (31st MEU (SOC))
As part of the UN Task Force stationed on Tonal Island, your job is to assist the TDF, eliminate rebels, and provide Humanitarian aid to civilians.
United States Army Special Forces
Your job is to conduct unconventional warfare and special operations against the rebels.
Mercenaries
Eastern European Mercenaries, contracted to the Tonal Government provide skill and firepower where needed in the battle against militia forces. They are armed with anything from HK G36s to old AK-47s.
The Tonali Rebellion Front
The TRF operate by a mix of traditional tribal structure and military ranking/organization. Their base of operations is the jungles of Zinaba in the east of Tonal, and fight often with the TDF over the northern territories and some southern farming areas. Using dirt tracks through the jungle, the rebels can deploy throughout the south, centre and north eastern areas of tonal, though prefer raids and guerrilla attacks over open fighting. The tribal side of their culture makes them a fierce enemy, with perceived glory for combat and harsh penalties for inaction or insubordenance. While violent and reckless in their attacks on the TDF and civilians, they are a disciplined force when they are pushed, and extremely hard to exterminate due to their ability to take off uniforms and merge into the population. The TRF have never fully lost Zinaba to the government. Rebels forces have ex soviet hardware stashed throughout the jungles, one of the telling factors of imminent rebel action is when the move their armour, something they do not do often to avoid detection by the small but powerful TDF air force.

Weapons
Firearms and weapons are divided into several classes. They are:
Soviet Weapons
Common weapons found in the streets and the island like the RPK-74, AKs, RPGs and the like. Rebels and TDF primarily use this.
American Weapons (Cold War)
Primarily weapons that have been discarded or neglected during the Vietnam War, some have ended up here. They compose of M16A1s and A2s, M60s and possibly first generation M249 SAWs. Used by Rebels and TDF
American Weapons (Modern)
State of the art weapons used by the US Military like M4A1 SOPMODs, M16A4s, M240s, and SR-25s. Used by US Marines and Army SF.
Foreign Weapons
These are mainly European Weapons and Post-Cold War Russian Weapons. Used by Mercenaries.
The reason I have posted this is to reinforce the idea of realism. Too many times I have seen with terrrorists with insanely advanced weapons that are impossible to get like the XM8. This method of classing weapons may or may not work, we'll just have to see.
