The Western Operations Linked Forces were founded in 1989 after the fall of the Soviet Union to assure no further threats from the new formed Russian Federation. The force accepts only applicants with sufficient marksman skills, stealth operations skills and mainly the ability to adjust to any given situation. Any potential members are required to be awarded with a service star for any kind of long range rifle, and must posses at least one service star with the knife. It is also wished they are skilled pilots, as that is one of the western coalitions' most powerful assets. However it is not required.
