The Campaign mainly is set on Altis and Malden and fought between NATO and The CSAT. Other Factions involved in the Campaign include The FIA, FRA, AAF, ISWA. The Russian Federation was also briefly involved in the Campaign. The Campaign focuses on a group of SAS commandos in SAS Bravo 1 and briefly a CSAT squad and a SBS squad

Operation Fast waypoint

A CSAT invasion Force is sent to the Military Island led by Major Yegri, a Major in the Russian Federation. The SAS Bravo Team receive a call for help from Roadblock East, manned by FIA forces.

After destroying CSAT forces at the Camp, A full assault is conducted on the CSAT compound which kills Major Yegri and eliminates CSAT control over Malden.

Operation Returning Fire
During a Two Week Jump between Operation Fast Waypoint and Operation Returning Fire, A FIA Colonel on Malden called Colonel Vargas leads a coup to secure full control over the FIA. The FIA is split in half with the FIA Revolutionaries being largely dominant over the FIA Loyalists. The FIAR declare war on NATO and betray the local forces on Malden. This coup spreads to Altis with many FIA fighters pledging loyalty to Col. Vargas. NATO Forces and SAS Bravo 1 are forced to retreat from their positions and evacuate to USS Freedom. NATO also pulls out of Altis during this time as well.

Operation Dawn Rising
The CSAT have invaded Altis. Their new ally, the FRA led by Major Manawa on Altis assists the CSAT in defeating the AAF and Altian Government. Dragoon Squad help capture Neochori and the Altis Airbase falls to CSAT Forces. FIA Loyalists on Altis are also crushed during the invasion. The AAF manage to retreat a large amount of assets to Pyrgos to hold against an impending CSAT invasion. 3 squads of FIA manage to evacuate to Pyrgos as well. The FIA Loyalists at this time become the FIA and ally with NATO led by General Maras.

Operation Sunset
In response to the FIA's defiance against the CSAT and FRA forces on Altis, a NATO Task Force is sent to recapture Malden. NATO and FIA forces launch an Assault on the FRA's Command Base at the Harbour. NATO Forces capture the Harbour and Col. Vargas and many other top FRA leaders are killed. FRA leadership is then transferred to Major Manawa in Stavros, Altis. Operation Sunset marks a turning point in the Campaign but the CSAT formally declare war on NATO and sends Spetsnaz to Altis.

Operation Blue Horizon
Prior to Blue Horizon, An AAF assault on the Airbase is crushed by Spetsnaz. NATO Fighter Jets begin attacking CSAT Air Forces and ground targets.

The CSAT begin their assault on Pyrgos and manages to capture the Capital after a long and hard fight. The AAF is defeated and reduced to small resistance factions. The FIA's Operations on Altis are severely weakened and The FRA declares itself as the Independent State of West Altis. The CSAT set up the CSATOEA and the Altis Defence Force in East Altis. Border conflicts occur over several towns in Altis so the two sides build a wall. General Manawa is sworn in as the leader of the new ISWA. The AAF's recourses are given to the FRA which becomes the Military Arm of the ISWA.

Colonel Gastavik, a leading CSAT Commander is killed. The FRA Garrison at Neochori is overwhelmed by FIA Forces. The CSAT surrenders due to internal rebellions and the War in the East ends. Kavala and Western Altis becomes the Last Bastion of FRA on Altis. The assault on West Altis can't begin for several weeks due to NATO Supply issues and replenishment of the Coalition.

Outcomes of the War
The end of the Daylight Campaign saw the decline of the CSAT who lost their largest Member ,The People's Republic of China. It also saw the beginning of the Russian Federation's Dominance over Chernarus and their influence in the civil war. Britain began expanding military spending budgets and joined the UN Coalition in Altis. The UN Coalition on Altis was formerly declared to support the Democratic Republic of Altis and the New Altian Army formed from the victorious FIA. The Campaign set the groundworks for the eventual NATO-Russian War. The National State of Stratis was formed by ex-ISWA leaders shortly after the end of the war. Many in NATO saw the War as an end to CSAT dominance in Africa and Middle East. SAS Bravo 1 was retired after the war and returned home as War Heroes. FIA fighters began popping up in Africa and Middle Eastern Nations to free themselves.
