NATO

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) was a Military Organisation led by The United States and The United Kingdom. The Alliance fought the CSAT and Russian Federation on many occasions and was seen as the Peacekeepers of the World as the UN was largely ineffective. NATO was formed after World War Two to stop Soviet Aggression. It saw various levels of success including the Evacuation of Malden which was a crushing defeat for NATO. NATO was reformed into the Global Security Treaty Organisation (GSTO). Many of the best Military Tacticians such as General Baker were on Malden during the FIA Betrayal.

## Daylight Campaign

NATO was setup on Malden, a small Mediterranean island. The Base on Malden was being used as a Forward Operations Base to assist the FIA in the Altian Civil War. A CSAT invasion force attacked the island's base and wiped out a camp of US Soldiers before being destroyed on the Island. This began the NATO-CSAT war. During a Two Week Period, Colonel Vargas staged a coup in the FIA and betrayed the NATO Forces who had to Evacuate from Malden. NATO then launches an Invasion of Malden during Operation Sunset where Colonel Vargas is killed. The FRA's Leadership retreats to Stavros, Altis. On Altis, NATO has withdrawn due to The FIA's Betrayal but FIA Loyalists on the Island contact NATO who agree to Invade Altis.

#### Operation Early and Operation Marathon

The British 1st Airborne capture Poliakko and Katalaki. The AAF resistance led by Captain Manuel. Assaults the Airbase with the US 3rd Division. They then go onto capture Stavros and Telos. The US 8th Infantry and SBS Xray Team capture Pyrgos and kills Colonel Gastavik, a leading CSAT Officer. CSAT sues for peace due to internal rebellions.

In Operation Marathon, NATO Forces successfully capture Kavala and Western Altis. The ISWA surrenders and General Manawa is killed. The NSS is formed by Vice Chairman Geori soon after the fall of the ISWA.

## Midnight Campaign

NATO Forces from Germany, Czech Republic, United States and UK are deployed on a UN Peacekeeping Mission to Altis to assist the Democratic Republic of Altis recover from the Altian Civil War. The Russian Federation invades Altis and pushes the NATO/UN Forces out of Neochori. Germany pulls out their forces from Altis as Russian Forces invade mainland Germany. The Russian Army also invaded Stratis so a NATO-Led Coalition is sent to Stratis led by the British 16th Air Assault Brigade.

Russian forces capture Pyrgos' UN HQ and NATO Forces are attacked by FRA Warlords who have been hiding in the North East. The American Army in Pyrgos begin to advance against the Russian Army.

SAS Bravo 1 is recalled from retirement to investigate into the Chernarussian Civil War and they discover Russian Tanks moving into support the ChDkZ. After Russia intervenes in the war, SAS Bravo 1 stays in Chernarus to stop the Russian Army as NATO is unable to help.

The British' Operation Falling Angel succeeds and The National State of Stratis is destroyed along with Russian Forces.

In Chernarus, NATO finally organises a Task Force called Task Force India consisting of Chinese and Czech Soldiers to assist the CDF in defeating the Russians. German and French Forces push the Russian Army back at the Elbe Offensive which forces Russian Divisions back into Poland.

In Operation New Years, Russian Tanks are destroyed and Chedaki lines in the west collapse. The NAPA capture the Grozovoy Pass cutting the Russian's from their Supply line. The Russian Army is pushed further North East before surrendering. The War ends in a Russian Surrender.

NATO is then reorganised into the Global Security Treaty Organisation after the victory and assist the UN. The GSTO quickly become the Global Superpower. They assist the Republic of Karelia and Republic of China in defeating RNUF Terrorists but agree not to intervene in Russia.
