The Tiberium Control Network Conflict (TCN Conflict) was fought between GDI and anti-Kane Nod Separatists in the period between the Third and Fourth Tiberium Wars. The main point of conflict was the far flung Tiberium Control Network (TCN) that was under construction. The binary pressures of defending the TCN, and pursuing the Separatists, prompted GDI to reorganize into three branches: Offense, Defense, and Support. This was made possible by the introduction of the Crawler MCV, the next generation MCV. Within a year of the reorganization GDI defeated the rebels.^[3]

[edit] History

GDI began TCN construction in 2062 and was almost immediately assailed by Nod Separatists. GDI forces were spread thin defending the network.^[3] By 2064, the balance of power shifted in GDI's power with one of the noted developments being the creation of a new series of Zone Armor for infantry that was capable of surviving the fiery attacks from Nod Flame tanks. This resulted in the Separatists reworking the design of the vehicles to be more effective allowing them to cause a great deal of destruction within the Yellow Zones until GDI managed to develop their Hunter tanks. The success of the Separatists led to the Loyalist Nod forces to develop their own improved flame tank which yielded in the creation of the AT-6 Flame tank to defend the Tiberium Control Network.^[4]

The situation became worse in 2070 when the Separatists banded together and executed a series of global hit-and-run attacks on TCN construction sites; not only did this halt TCN progress but the GDI military was left in disarray.^[3] GDI commanders were forced to realize they were not organized or equipped to simultaneously defend the TCN, and pursue and destroy the Separatists. In response GDI embarked on a program to reorganize and re-equip itself to suit its mission of defending the global TCN. The military split into three specialized branches founded on the new Crawler MCV.^[3]

Upon completing its transformation the new force structure quickly produced results. The Nod Separatists were defeated and their leaders driven into hiding by the end of 2073, less than a year after the introduction of the Crawler MCV.^[3]

[edit] Aftermath

The TCN Conflict marked the battlefield début of the Crawler MCV and the three-branch concept. By the Fourth Tiberium War both GDI and Nod forces would be organized along these lines.
