WHO WE ARE

Joint Task Force 15 (JTF-15) is a fictional, virtual realism group in DCS World. JTF-15 was founded in 2022 by a like-minded group of friends from the US and UK looking for a mature and friendly community to fly in DCS World.


JTF-15 focuses on immersive and teamwork-oriented gameplay with an emphasis on tactical realism. Our playstyle aims to strike a balance between realism and accessibility. We want to enjoy the excitement of mil-sim environment while not adhering to every detail of military aviation. Flying with us should feel challenging but not overwhelming.


Our community is made of members from diverse backgrounds from both the US and UK time zones. We are beginner-friendly and take great pride in the amazing individuals who make this unit such a fun and welcoming place. We do not tolerate racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of hate. JTF-15 values maturity, and friendship above all else.

WHAT WE DO

Joint Task Force 15 role-plays a fictional unit composed of squadrons from USN and USAF around the years of 2002-2006.


The main focus of the unit's operations is our persistent, dynamic, PvE campaign which will last around 4-6 months. Our hand-crafted campaign features a rich background story influenced by historic events and factions with distinct and detailed economies. Our campaigns are designed to fully immerse you in the battlefield! Other features include, detailed mission briefing, human controller for AWACS / GCI, historical equipment / loadouts, and physicalized supply lines / economic nodes.


In these campaigns, your skills will be tested in a wide range of mission types including: CAP, Escort, SEAD/DEAD, AI, SCAR, and more. Your choices and actions matter; every mission will have an impact on the course of the campaign. You must work effectively not just with your wingman or your flight, but also with the rest of the strike package to ensure the success of the campaign!

AVIATOR

ROLE-PLAY

RANKS

Our ranks / promotion system is purely for aviator progression role-play purposes. There is absolutely no "Yes, Sir / Ma'am" drama in this unit. You will be expected to follow orders from your leads in game, but outside, we are all just friends having fun. You will earn promotions based on quantifiable participation merits. You can also earn promotions by taking on administrative responsibilities in the unit. All administrative decisions will be made by the unit leadership.

AWARDS

Same as ranks, our awards system is in place to enhance your role-play immersion as your aviator progresses through their career. All awards can be earned through quantifiable participation merits, much like in-game achievements in other games. You will be able to display your awards on your virtual USN / USAF service jacket.
