Joint Task Force 1
Joint Task Force 1, also called Task Force Jungle, is a joint Central Command / Coast Force / Backcountry Wilderness Rangers unit that is the primary operational unit assigned to Sector 1. It is additionally responsible for training other C.A.A. units at the FAJB Field Training Center. Because the unit does not have any dedicated personnel, personnel from other units and commands are assigned to it on a temporary or ongoing basis to provide staffing. To better manage the chain of command among its transient personnel, Task Force 1 is subdivided into operational Detachments that each focuses on a particular role or capability, as well as the training of other units in those roles and capabilities. Because of the environment and terrain that members of Joint Task Force 1 serve in, they typically wear OD Green uniforms (Color Type 3), especially if they are part of the ongoing detail roster. Joint Task Force 1 has the distinction of being the oldest organized unit within the Central Aid Agency and has remained largely the same as when first commissioned in summer 2010.
Coast Force primarily wear uniforms in Navy Blue (Color Type 1), but may wear uniforms in other colors depending on the unit or assignment (such as Task Force 1). Uniforms commonly worn by Coast Force include:
Service Dress Uniform Class A
Service Dress Uniform Class B
Responder Garrison Uniform Class C
Basic Duty Uniform Class C
Responder Utility Uniform Class C
Administrative Uniform Class C
Field Basic Service Uniform Class E (When participating in Community Service activities)
Physical Training Uniforms Class E
Because Coast Force units are deployable and may have to wear respirators; they typically require Type 4 or greater hygiene and appearance requirements when in full uniform.
