The Champaign Liberation Forces (CLF)

Overview
The Champaign Liberation Forces (CLF) are an insurgency based in the Japanese Garden region of the country of Gardenia. They follow a radical left wing ideology and are currently led by the popular revolutionary Jae Duevara.

They see their cause as one to free all Gardenians from the oppressive grip of the central government and view their revolutionary ambitions as a noble undertaking, similar to the Great Revolution of 1875.

They have adopted an extremely decentralized model of organization so that the cause may live on even in the death of its leadership. A lesson learned after the death of several of its key leaders during the GSB Crackdown of 2002. Although this method allows for greater organizational surviveability, it also reduces the effectiveness of any one cell. In general, CLF attacks tend to be more sporadic and less organized, but more frequent than their right wing counterparts.

Tactics
The CLF relies mostly on weapons, body armor, surface-to-air missles, and camouflage uniforms captured from ambushed SRG patrols and outposts. Because of this, CLF forces are generally less trained and equipped than their right wing counterparts. While this can prove to be a disadvantage in direct combat, it also allows CLF fighters to quickly disappear into the civilian populace after an attack.

CLF forces have been known to commonly employ such tactics as: IEDs, car bombs, targeted shootings and harassment ambushes. Coordinated strikes against major military or government installations are far less common.
