The TTA started off in the fall of 2017 in Manyu, with between 10 and 30 fighters.[1] As of 2018, it claimed to have around 2,000 fighters under its command, though this number cannot be verified and is likely an exaggeration.[2] It cooperates with the larger Ambazonia Defence Forces and SOCADEF.[4]

The TTA claimed responsibility for the September 2018 Wum prison break.[5]
