Special Release Condition: Secure Compartmentalized Intelligence
When necessary to protect national infrastructure and sensitive assets, portions of this document may be disclosed on a case by case basis to Federal law enforcement personnel. Such disclosures should be limited, fully documented and treated as Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES). Under no circumstances should this be treated as Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) or subject to release conditions, or shared with state, local or tribal law enforcement, or the private sector.
This product is classified above the level of the requesting agency. In the interest of reducing loss of life and damage to national security, this product is being released to the requesting agency as Secure Compartmentalized Intelligence with a special keyword of Californication.
The rebel state of California has numerous military, quasi military forces, armed civilians, former law enforcement agencies now in the service of rebellion, and even private organizations engaged in various aspects of its rebellion against lawful American hegemony.
One of the most secretive and dangerous is known merely as the Bear Force.
The Bear Force is a terrorist organization in every possible sense of the word. It is a state sponsored terrorist organization reporting to and sometimes obedient to the California Republic and its renegade so-called "Provisional Emergency Governor" aka "PEG", publicly known as Pat and known internally to California forces as GovCal for Governor of California. This person has no lawful authority, has never been elected and is a traitor and usurper as well as a rebel.
Very little is publicly known about Bear Force and this is by design. California does not wish to advertise its existence nor accept the implications of assuming responsiblity for terrorist acts. The United States does not wish to publicize or frighten the public.
This poses serious issues in counterintelligence and point defense of Bear Force targets, including key personnel and critical infrastructure.
The Bear Force is split into two component parts. Permanently assigned members of the Bear Force are known as "cadre." This cadre is believed to be, but is not confirmed to be, members of the former "San Francisco" Resistance as it transitioned to become the Army of the California Republic. Members are supported at state expense, sometimes wear uniforms and engage primarily in training, capacity building, and high skill terrorist and command operations.
The remaining members of the Bear Force are mere recruits. They are recruited, given cursory training, issued equipment, sent out on high risk and/or low skill missions, and know as little as possible about the Bear Force organization. This is deliberate to prevent the United States from learning more about Bear Force from prisoners, defectors and through destructive interrogations.
There are ten to twelve (10-12) recruits for every Bear Force cadre member. Some cadre members were directly appointed as such; but most are required to prove themselves first as recruits, surviving at least five (5) missions and participating in arduous training between missions, often with a high fatality rate in both training and combat. It is widely believed among the California public that these recruits are sometimes deliberately killed in training, and often are used up in live operations. This belief is correct.
The best estimate available is that Bear Force has approximately eighty (80) cadre and between four hundred and six hundred (400-600) recruits at any time, depending on recent losses. While this sounds like a small number, the IRA fought the UK to a standstill for two decades with a mere 800 ASU or Active Service Units (individual IRA terrorists).
Analysts are divided as to whether Bear Force will be continued at its current size (plus/minus continual losses) or will be expanded, perhaps even doubled.
Bear Force taskings are generated directly from GovCal. This has been confirmed by National Technical Means. GovCal has reserved to itself the authority to authorize a murder, within or outside California.
The first target of the Bear Force was the former Homeland Agency. The occupation of California during the Firecracker War required a commitment of hundreds of thousands of Homeland personnel and contract employees. Some of these may have committed certain excesses. However, the response by the "San Francisco" Resistance and the Bear Force was to start targeting Homeland personnel, not only within California but soon thereafter elsewhere in the United States.
These murder operations, like any other political assassination or military special operation, require a network of safe houses, intelligence gatherers, support staff, logistics for travel and respite and moving weapons, and means of escape.
California has built this infrastructure and continues to expand and maintain it daily.
The primary California intelligence agency, known as Collections, is deeply involved in supporting Bear Force. However, Bear Force is the moving party in criminal and terrorist operations.
A sample terrorist attack involved the targeting of a Homeland Colonel involved in operating detention camps in the California Central Valley. He was found convulsing in the master bathroom of his single family residence in Camden, New Jersey. His wife called 911 and paramedics arrived to find that he was no longer breathing. Despite lengthy efforts at resuscitation, he died on premises. Autopsy strongly suggested and toxicology confirmed that an unknown person had substituted his toothpaste with a doctored toothpaste containing a deadly poison. The specifics of the poison are known but are [TS/SCI Keyword Methodist].
To execute this attack, a Bear Force operative had to travel from California to New Jersey, move freely through the town, make access to the residence, swap out the harmless product for the deadly one, and withdraw without being detected. Extensive use of National Technical Means determined that in this attack, three Bear Force operatives were involved - a long-haul truck driver, a female companion presenting herself as a prostitute, and an as yet unknown third party who was able to provide housing in the town for the attacker(s) for two days.
Obviously, outside California, Bear Force operatives do not wear uniforms and neither obey nor are protected by the laws of land warfare.
Within California, Bear Force cadre are - rarely - observed in an unmarked BDU uniform with issue Army of the California Republic equipment mixed with unusual and perhaps personal equipment. They are always accompanied by authorized personnel who vouch for the Bear Force cadre traveling with them. Often this is part of a task force combining Army, State, local and private sector personnel working on a shared difficult problem. The Bear Force cadre member functions as a liasion, gathering intelligence and determining leader's intent. This is communicated, usually later, to Bear Force cadre and recruits who then carry out a solution.
Every intelligence and covert operations organization has certain "tells" or patterns of shared habit, training and operations that can be used to identify members.
Bear Force has the following known tells:
-- cadre are notoriously closed mouthed in the presence of third parties
-- recruits are often obviously unqualified for military service, having one or more disqualifiers such as physical or mental health, age, prior criminal history, prior service in anti-California organizations, etc.
-- efforts are made to be conservative with the lives of recruits, but in some cases recruits are killed anyway by their mission or by their own negligence, especially on their 1st or 2nd mission
-- while it is rare, the occasional Bear Force recruit is sent on a knowing suicide mission where there is no opportunity for escape; the suicide terrorist is equipped with poison and carries a powerful explosive charge in an effort to avoid capture - these unusual recruits are first time mission participants and are extensively screened for psychological reliability to carry out their mission - often motivated by the loss of multiple family members
-- every effort is made to keep cadre safe, including the assignment of police and/or Army units to the protection of a single cadre member during a public appearance
-- recruits who have been in service for more than 1-2 missions are unusually physically fit given their limitations; this is suspected to be related to their efforts to pass testing to become cadre
-- silent killing is the strong preference of Bear Force, with an emphasis on silenced and suppressed weapons and knives for sentry removal
-- unusually for commando forces, more typical of espionage organizations, Bear Force makes extensive use of poisons, preferring ingested poisons but also using contact poisons
-- early attacks by Bear Force were with IEDs or Improvised Explosive Devices, because that was the best Bear Force could do
-- more recent Bear Force attacks are more precisely targeted, using smaller precision explosives made in professional shops
-- Bear Force is sensitive to but is not completely against resulting collateral loss of life, especially when the collateral is an adult family member
-- Bear Force is very reluctant to harm or kill children, or to commit murder in front of children - some of the best information on Bear Force operations has been from surviving children who were able to describe attacker and/or method
-- Bear Force does not seek publicity in the United States or in California, but recruits relatively openly among prisoners, soldiers, would-be military recruits and private militias
-- every attempt to infiltrate Bear Force using undercover recruits has ended with the UC dying in a training accident within days, despite extensive preparation and unimpeachable covers
-- the Bear Force has a distinct calling card for its assassinations, a practice left over from the Resistance - the display of a characteristic bear's paw and/or the printed words "Bear Force" (capitalization as indicated) on an embossed card left with the body - forensics has traced these to a printer's shop in Monterey, California - it appears that this calling card is deliberately made to be unique specifically so that American forces can distinguish between a Bear Force hit and the potential for third parties or copycats
-- Bear Force personnel flushed into quasi-military situations such as escape and evasion perform remarkably poorly compared to their other characteristics, but will make every effort to avoid capture including suicide
-- interview with one surviving Bear Force suicide terrorist indicates that they are briefed to expect prolonged and horrific torture and the targeting of any surviving family by American forces if they are captured - videos of Homeland interrogations are shown as part of their anti-capture training
-- Bear Force cadre have demonstrated an ability to improvise explosives and poisons in the absence of their preferred equipment, indicating advanced training in these topics generally unavailable outside intelligence and military special operations
