- "Following the events of the Campaign, two private military contractors — SpecGru and KorTac — are founded as special forces for hire, capable of carrying out international tactical operations."
- — Call of Duty Blog[1]
KorTac is a private military contractor featured as a faction in the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III.
Background
Alongside their rivals SpecGru, KorTac was founded following the death of Hassan Zyani as special forces for hire to conduct various international operations. KorTac and SpecGru would frequently face off against each other at various locations around the world and amass new operators over time. At some point, KorTac started operating within Al Mazrah and Ashika Island.
On June 8th, 2023, KorTac operator Nikto was sighted in Vondel during a SpecGru reconnaissance mission.[2] Later, KorTac sent a team of three operators to investigate the crashed AC-130 in the Sattiq Cave Complex in Al Mazrah. However, the team was killed by unknown assailants before they could extract.

As the only two multiplayer factions in Modern Warfare II, KorTac and SpecGru will always face off against each other. However, the KorTac announcer for the match is dependent on the map being played.

Trivia
General
- KorTac's flag model in objective modes such as Domination has a black color scheme. It is also noticeably tattered.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II
- Nila "Nova" Brown was a KorTac operator in the Multiplayer Open Beta.[3] Similarly, Arthur was initially announced as a KorTac operator for Season Five.
- The initials within the names of the two KorTac announcers, RS and SA, are the two-letter country abbreviations of Serbia and Saudi Arabia respectively.
- Announcer quotes reveal that the SA Team Leader is actually meant to represent South Africa, whose two-letter code is ZA. This is a developer oversight.
- The name of the RS Team Leader's unit, Strazar, means "Sentry" in Serbo-Croatian. Additionally, the RS Team Leader's callsign, Majka, means "Mother" in Serbo-Croatian.
- In Warzone Cup, KorTac is known by the team name "Al Easima FC".
- The SA Team Leader never faces off against the DE Team Leader from SpecGru in any map from Modern Warfare II.
