Now that we have a good basic understanding of what DCS Liberation is, thanks to the [Getting started guide](Getting-started) and we covered the basic [UI elements](Tutorial-UI), let's start a campaign.
For the example of this tutorial, a custom campaign has been picked by the author to illustrate the different buildng blocks and how they depend on each other.

As shown in the campaign example below, the author designed it around a specific map/region/timeline and factions, to create the desired scenario.
Players have full freedom to change those, but will have to handle the consequences of their choices.

Default factions define the general availability of **aircraft** for a campaign. However, the final list of aircraft shown in the _Air Wing Configuration_ dialogue depends on a few things.
1. Is the aircraft part of the faction?
2. Is the aircraft capable of doing the required tasks/mission types?
3. Does a custom squadron exist? if not, one will be auto-generated
3. Does a preset squadron exist? if not, one will be auto-generated
4. How does the campaign setup look like, in terms of starting squadron slots and their defined tasks/mission types?

That rules out the F14-A and since the F-4E Phantom II is not CVN compatible, it's out as well.
All other mission types have specific _aircraft_ or _squadrons_ defined, like
- SEAD -> A-4E Skyhawk
- STRIKE -> A-4E Skyhawk
As you can see below, if an aircraft, but no squadron is defined, the planer will look for a suitable preset squadron and use that. If none can be found, it will create a generic one.
Example for a generic squadron can be seen later in the article, for the E-2D doing AEW&C. The naming will look something like this _Squadron 001_ and a random nickname.
