Hey everyone!
I announced about two weeks ago that we are launching our TAW-Wide Discord server. As we are very proud of getting this where it is and as a thank you for everyone providing feedback, we decided to hand out a Discord-Launch Tab on the website and a special role on the Discord server to anyone who joins the Discord server by 18th of July and changes their Discord nickname to their full TS tag!
So click here to join the Server and become part of all the awesome people who supported us launching the Discord into TAW!
Community Communication Division is putting a team up for Clear COMMS! We are looking for talented journalists and caricaturists to play with us in a different way. We would be raiding a newsletter every month and specific skills are important to succeed this project. I wish we have fun together bring up news in not serious way to break the ice. Let us know if you are interested to move in. All hands-on deck!
Please remember: Eagles don't fly with pigeons, here we spread the message in another way!
Contact for more information:
The division activities are:
MRC Mandatories are once a month Sunday at 20:00 CET
COMMS Mandatories are every week on Sunday at 19:30 CET
That's right, we're back with another recruitment post. Recently there was a change in command for MID, with that, we decided to revert back to a name everyone would recognize, MultiMedia Division [MMD].
We're still working on our base platform and how things will be run in the future, but we're going to take a moment to share with some it the changes right now.
Our TeamSpeak Channels should be edited by mid-month. We're still working on updating the forms.
We want to help each and every division have their voice heard on our various social media platforms, which means we're also encouraging each division to get a PIA, look into streaming, record some videos and have us put together a montage or recruitment video for you, and more. MMD TFO's will start making rounds to divisions soon, introducing ourselves, and starting to talk to your teams on how we can help you.
But in order for us to help in a more timely fashion, we need more staff. We are looking for both EU and NA Members to join our Team. Here's the slideshow we put together to show what we're about and what we're looking for.
Hear ye, hear ye,
TAW University Division (TU) now has a specialized Battalion focused on - you guessed it - recruiting! With the increase in dedicated teams and therefore staff, we're more than able to support- and increase the number of Training Instructors (TIs) in TU. While the Recruitment Batt. will focus on further developing DI, HDI, PIA and other recruitment related subjects, the other TU Batt. will focus themselves more or NCO and BATCOM related stuff. However, that is a priority and at the end of the day everyone remains a 'TU member' and share the same overarching office of TAW University.
In TU, you will be responsible for holding position classes for members of TAW, and will also have the chance to help develop current and future leadership of TAW as a whole, by helping to develop leadership tools, skills and traits necessary for effective leadership in the community.
As a TI, you can also develop an understanding of other roles within TAW you may not be as familiar with, and in time help deliver classes on those roles.
TU isn't just about delivering classes. While in TU, you will interact with a variety of different games and divisions; meet new people; and learn about other areas within TAW you might not have seen.
Requirements:
If you are interested or have any questions, please contact one of the following:

Well the role Phoenix plays for TAW fits Operations Command better and allows us to partner and work with other Operations Units more smoothly. We are absolutely excited to team up with Operation CC and CLC, MRC CC and CLC, COMMS, ER, GRAPHICS, MID, and Shop. We look forward to working with you all and seeing what positive impact we can have on all of TAW.
In regards to our Phoenix Hub or any projects we have been working on with the Divisions in Army, nothing changes there. We will still be contacting you every month, sharing informations, giving advice, and most importantly there to help you all with anything you need. Our missions in Phoenix has not changed and we are still the Phoenix you all love and cherish. Please if you have any questions about the move or concerns about things changing come talk to us, we don’t bite. Or do we? I guess you will have to find that one out!
As you can see my team here at Phoenix is rearing to go and we are always looking to improve our community for you! The members! Being moved up here into Operations allows us to better serve you in a place where a more unified approach can be had. We look forward to working with everyone here in Operations as well as serving our most loyal members! You, the members of TAW.
Hope to see you all soon.
It has been in the pipeline for a while and many of you were already able to join it: it is a pleasure for me to announce that we are launching our TAW-Wide Discord server!
This will act as an addition to your already existing divisional Discords to give everyone in the community a place to come together, get to know each other and break through the never ending list of teamspeak channels.
In addition to the social aspect of the server, it also acts as a central news hub for all TAW-related content. We have set up a selection of announcement channels that your discord server can subscribe to, which will enable all of your divisional discords to easily receive the latest updates about our community!
Currently, there wont be any voicechat on the Discord server, Teamspeak will stay our main platform for this.
Also special thanks are going out to Arianni and Deathwing who have been doing some essential work to get the project up and running as it is today!
So click the link and join us for another big step into the future for our community: https://discord.gg/Q7MVjV5FkY
By now, some people have seen MID up in Operations and wondered who we are and what we do. We are the gatekeepers between your divisions and our social media platforms. We are the hand that guides you through the dark recesses of the interwebs and takes you to the promise land of social media advertising. We are your agent, and it is our job to make your division known to the world.
MID is home to our Social Media Platforms which include: Discord, Facebook, Reddit, Steam, Twitch, and Twitter. We work with divisions to stream on TAWTV, Announce stuff on our various social media platforms, and even do video editing to help with recruitment videos.
And right now, we’re looking to fill some key roles in our division.
Streamers: We’re looking for both NA and EU Streamers. Must be willing to stream 1-2x/week on TAW TV.
PIA Relations: Looking for members to train, and assist PIA’s across TAW on how to post to our social media platforms and what sort of content you should be looking at posting.
Moderators: We need people who know how to navigate and are able to post to social media platforms previously listed. They will be responsible for monitoring our Social Media, Posting on our Social Media and responding to posts.
If any of the roles are something you’d be interested in doing, please send an email to both Baron@taw.net and Shmeecow@taw.net, and we will set up a meeting with you.

Do you feel like you currently do not have a preferred game in TAW? Or are there so many options to choose from you simply cannot pick one? Perhaps you may find a place in our ranks ! The Events & Resources [ER] Division is looking for dedicated members wanting to contribute and help the entire community to have fun, both inside and outside their own respective units. Here in ER we organize TAW wide thematic game nights every month, participate in division tournaments as staff members, chill and sing-a-long with "Barbie Girl" on karaoke nights, enjoy some trivia, or whip out our artistic talent during a Bob Ross painting night. ER members should have some proficiency in Google Docs, public speaking, and project or event management but most importantly be willing to play different games, already in TAW or not. Let the gaming, as well as your adventure in ER, begin!
If you are interested, contact us: MrHazz [ER DC], JWhinchat [ER DO], and/or lilgreyshark [ER CO]. Get to know the ER Division today!
Community wide communication is a key intercommunication tool for TAW development and membership retention. For this reason, Membership Resources Corps is launching a new division to oversee specific TAW wide communication tools. Brainstorming projects involve the reporting, writing, editing, photographing, or broadcasting any news of our community as a main goal. Our first mission is creating an electronic newsletter issued by email, and having a Podcast live at TAW.TV. We are very excited to launch: Clear COMMS! We know you have heard a lot of this shouted on TS…
If you are interested in this initiative, please have a chat with EmceeJay [CC MRC], Arianni [CC MRLC] or DrPi [COMMS DC]. The division activities are:
The beautiful weather is upon us, and despite the global pandemic which is still going on, it means it’s time to shed off those pesky winter clothes and slip into something a little more comfortable.

A flag can represent many things, from Hope to Freedom, Honor to Respect, an Idea, or even directions from deck crews. Shop has mad respect for all the front line workers, military personnel, and those who work in essential services keeping our countries running in these hard times.
But our mad respect and pride doesn’t stop there, it continues on for our Community. We’re proud of the accomplishments other divisions have, whether it’s winning a tournament, to someone getting promoted, a commendation being issued, a division launching, or even just something simple as knowing this is a safe place for people to come together and enjoy playing games with each other and have fun. We take pride in our community.
With that being said, we’d like to now help you all show off your pride in our gaming community, The TAW FLAG!!! That’s right, it’s finally here! Head on over to our Team Store and get yours today. If your forget to use the link we just gave you, use the coupon code TAW.

Howdy howdy everyone!
For the 2021 Fundraiser we broke yet another record in amount raised.
We raised……
This effort put forward is a push in the right direction to get our website completed and ensure that The Art of Warfare continues on into the new year. This also highlights the generosity of our community in coming together when it’s needed. You all also guarantee that TAW can continue to provide you all with a place to game, talk, and hangout.
This effort wouldn’t have been possible without all of those that helped behind the scenes, more so to the tremendous help from the following divisions.
MID - The streaming events that crackles’s team put together helped raise about a quarter of the donation contributions this year. It also helped greatly with marketing the fundraiser to TAW while the event was running.
ER - The events that MrHazz’s team put together during the 20th TAW anniversary was a fantastic launching pad for the fundraiser and helped immensely with marketing it.
SHOP - With the awesome effort from Baron and his team, we saw a new shop get released with new merchandise. The commission we made from this new shop was a great addition to money made for the fundraiser.
Finally, a HUGE thank you to all that donated/subscribed/purchased during the 2021 Fundraiser. Treasury will be working diligently to hand out the awards to everyone that filled out the survey form by this coming weekend. Remember, thanks to our anonymous donor where all donations are considered doubled.
If you filled out the form and didn’t receive your earned commendations or if you didn’t fill out the survey form and would like to be awarded for participating in the fundraiser, just send us an email at treas@taw.net or find us in TeamSpeak.
Thank you all again and have a fantastic rest of your day.
