This mod is released in an Early-Alpha state to support the Arma 3 Creator DLC Expeditionary Forces which was largely responsible for making it possible. For the next week or so, consider this mod to be a Development Build, with frequent updates and content subject to change (as much as possible, current classnames will remain unaltered).

Currently added in the mod:

• AJTF (Desert) Faction [Airborne Joint Task Force] with complete roster of assets and Groups;
• MX Para 6.5mm variants (MX SW pre-loaded with 30rnd mags and no linked bipod for convenience in the arsenal);
• Compatibility between Aegis and EF’s MXAR variants (included until Aegis updates);
• Airborne Assault Vest (MTP) variants [retextured Amphibious Assault Vests from EF CDLC];
• Commando Chestrig (MTP) [retextured Commando Chestrigs from EF CDLC];
• Ranger Fatigues (MTP-Sand) variants [retextured vanilla Combat Fatigues with improved textures and MTP camouflage, T-Shirt variant uses unused model from Western Sahara CDLC];

Although the initial idea and main focus of Elite Forces was to represent US Airborne and Ranger forces, while providing a higher quality, and overall better, vanilla-friendly US Faction, the intent evolved overtime to include more factions and further modification. Some of the plans include:

• Possible soft dependency for the various CDLCs used;
• Soft depedency for certain USAF mod assets, AbramsX and potentially others;
• US Navy and Naval Special Warfare Factions;
• AAF Naval Command Faction;
• Mavro’s Chimera Squad (FIA);
• Military Police and Security Forces Factions (US, AAF and CSAT);
• Changes and additions to current Expeditionary Forces CDLCL Factions;
• And more… check out the Arma 3: Elite Forces Discord[discord.gg] for the complete list.

Until soft dependencies are added, this mod has a hard requirement for:

• Aegis Development Build (just the main module, probably works with the stable build, which will be updated soon anyway);
• Western Sahara CDLC (or compatibility data for non-owners);
• Reaction Forces CDLC (or compatibility data for non-owners);
• Expeditionary Forces CDLC (or compatibility data for non-owners);

• Bohemia Interactive for Arma 3 and all its content, including textures that were used as base.
• Bran Flakes for the Combat Fatigues template, and the rest of the Aegis Team and its original creator AveryTheKitty for their public GitHub reposity and help.
• OokamiJamie and Lowaltitude for the MTP remake.
• Chair of Tiny Gecko Studios and the other creators credited in EF CDLC for sample textures and the CDLC content.

Arma 3: Elite Forces is released under the APL-SA license[//]. You are allowed to extract textures, configs, etc. and repackage them into your own mod with appropriate credits. You are not allowed to repackage the whole mod / or single PBOs without modification, in any way that will cause conflicts with the original mod.
