Asian Continental Military Force

**THIS FACTION NO LONGER EXISTS AS A FUNCTIONING ENTITY IN TWR**

## Lore Overview

   The **Asian Continental Military Force** (abbreviated as ACMF) was a collective security organization founded in the early 2020s. It was one of the three main belligerents in the Third World War against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) between 2026 and 2032. After the Flash occured, the ACMF was dissolved, but more radical remnants continued the fight against their former enemies.

## History

### Founding and Third World War

Prior to the start of the Third World War and going into the 2020s, the world was facing growing tensions between the major powers, with conflicting interests with NATO and its allies against powers such as the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, the latter of whom after having annexed more territory would go on to form the New Chinese Empire (NCE). With similar interests in mind and a need to challenge western dominance on a more global scale, the Russian Federation, New Chinese Empire, Iran, and Turkey would band together and found the ACMF.

When the Third World War kicked off in 2026, the ACMF, alongside numerous other countries joining the organization later down the road, boasted a powerful military in both ground, air, and sea. Using these advantages and a preemptive strike against NATO and SEATO, the ACMF would rapidly advance on all corners of the world, heavy fighting taking place in Europe and Asia. Notable advances during the war by the ACMF were the NCE's invasion of Japan and, in the waning hours of the war, Russia's invasion of the mainland United States of America.

### Post-Flash

When the Flash occured in November of 2032, the ACMF would find itself in a similar situation as the others, that being cut off from the rest of their comrades and superiors in a new post-apocalyptic landscape. Many would continue to fight against both NATO and SEATO once the smoke cleared, while others wished to no longer take part and wanted to return back home. Some even settled down and made the lands they were stuck in their new home, mixing in with the local populace. For the crew of a submarine docked inside a cave on the northern side of the Halfmoon Region, there was mixed opinions.

Over a period of decades, many ACMF within the Halfmoon Region left their war behind and settled down inside the US, seeking to make a new life and assimilate into American society. Some even went on to found businesses to make money, notably the Sons & Daughters Inc, a local fishing business in Whitman Bay. For others, however, the fight never truly ended. as they vowed to continue the fight their ancestors had done decades after the war ended, most notably extremists belonging to a terrorist group known as Coalition Dawn which was made up entirely of ACMF descendants. During this time, Coalition Dawn would conduct many attacks against the United States Civilization Preservation Force and its succeeding entity, the United States Armed Forces. For most Americans, the ACMF was nothing more than a thing of the past, as most of their operations into the 22nd century had began to die down. While attacks had continued to occur against the USAF, the insurgency was losing any meaningful impact on American society.

## Relations

#### United States of America

Sworn enemies in the Third World War, the United States designates the current form of the ACMF and Coalition Dawn as a terrorist organization, and continues to crack down on their insurgency within their territory.

#### People's Republic of Tidewater

Both sharing an anti-US foreign policy, some within the PRT consider the ACMF an asset for their continued war in the Second American Civil War against the US. When the ACMF was dissolved, many joined the PRT to continue their fight.

#### Maior Exército Brasileiro

With similar relations with the PRT, the MEB considers the ACMF an asset. On prior occasions, the MEB has provided the ACMF with weapons and ammunition for their insurgency inside the US.
