The Three Pillars of Task Force Trident
Are you seeking a DCS community that strives to provide an authentic U.S Armed Forces & NATO aviation operations enviroment?
Task Force Trident may be the place for you.
We design and fly consistent, high-fidelity operations driven by authentic Air Tasking Orders (ATOs), real-world brevity, custom IADS networks, and disciplined NATO procedures.
We prioritize structured airframe development across our carrier and land-based squadrons through dedicated syllabi, multi-role versatility, and an ego-free environment centered on continuous improvement.
Do you want to play with like-minded professionals?
Task Force Trident may be the place for you.
Do you want a group of adults to banter with and build lasting relationships with outside of DCS?
Task Force Trident may be the place for you.
Our group thrives beyond official flight nights, maintaining a vibrant Officer’s Club, regular mid-week training hops, sim hardware discussions, and lasting camaraderie.

The Task Force Trident Operations Concept has been crafted with an emphasis on providing the most realistic operations and training within the confines of DCS. Our open-world training environments are designed to be adaptable, allowing mission leads to customize threats and scenarios to accomplish specific training objectives. This building-block approach enables members to learn each skill incrementally, combining these skills until they achieve proficiency in fully integrated task force operations. When we deploy, it’s into dynamic, open-world campaigns that challenge our members to apply creativity and tactical expertise to accomplish theater-level objectives.
Task Force Trident is structured around our Operational Year, which coincides with the calendar year. We complete two deployments and two or three Field Training Exercises (FTX) cycles each year.
Winter FTX Cycle
Spring Deployment
Summer FTX Cycle

Winter FTX Cycle
Additionally, we have two standdown periods for our members to step away from DCS, during which no required unit functions are scheduled.
Winter Standown - Christmas to New Years
Summer Standown - Early July
