Re: Threat Assessment
#1 Homeland
#2 competitors
#3 DIA
#4 surviving ex-employees
#5 anti-American partisans (AAP)
#6 Resistance (Bay Area cell) (R)
#7 surviving local law enforcement
#8 organized crime
#9 combinations of #1-8
Homeland remains the greatest threat to the site. We are unable to resist any hostile Homeland actions; they are capable of force majeure. Our CI efforts are hampered by our inability to recruit within Homeland. We remain an 'object of interest' to Homeland because of our capabilities, rather than our intentions.
Competitors: we are one of three major companies that provides our type of services to DOD, but the only one that provides a credible product in each of several lines. We know for a fact that competitive intelligence agents are active and operational on campus. Competitor efforts would normally be a "soft kill" (loss of contract) but under these conditions would require immediate evacuation of the site, and we would likely not have the resources to pull this off in time.
DIA: the Defense Intelligence Agency has an explicit mission to protect defense contractors from unauthorized access to government information. We are way overdue for DIA audit. Internal information security operations do not meet the requirements. Our operation, necessarily entirely covert, does not meet the requirement EITHER. At minimum a designated Facility Security Officer with impeccable clearances must be designated. No one in the present Corporate Security or contract security force meets this standard. The only person who did meet this standard was Major Cartwright, who is deceased. This makes his death suspicious to DIA.
A number of surviving ex-employees, which must be assumed to include [Oliver Stone], now disapprove of our facility and mission and have a sophisticated insider's knowledge of the premises and our weaknesses. To some extent we have patched this with aggressive physical security measures; but some vulnerabilities cannot be disguised.
The term "anti American partisans" (AAP) is borrowed directly from propaganda broadcasts. It is a catch all term for any disorganized armed resistance to Homeland and/or the forces of law and order. The key point for our purposes is _disorganized_. But we are an attractive point target, partly because we are not as heavily defended as others.
The one highly organized group goes by the name Resistance (with an R) and is _not_ featured in propaganda broadcasts, but is well known to the public and is a topic of great concern to Homeland. We even have a Homeland briefing paper on the Resistance forwarded to us through [Client] contacts in Utah. The Resistance is organized on a modified cell system and appears to specialize in targeted, quiet assassination of particularly dangerous leaders. I evaluate the following persons at risk: SLE, VP-HR, VP-Facilities, YOU.
Much of what we have done to secure the site and the premises is unpalatable to local law enforcement, especially the San Jose Police Department and Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office. If it were not for wartime conditions, the entire Security operation would be shut down with extreme prejudice and all participants arrested if not indicted. This will continue to be a point of unease until accelerated tempo of AAP and R operations forces them to accept us.
Our initial procurement of equipment required negotiations with organized crime groups, which have expanded greatly in power and influence and continue to play various factions off each other as they broker deals - especially food and fuel in the black market that has supplanted normal business in the Bay Area. Some are criminal street gangs living large; others are long extant groups with centuries of history in California. Please use caution in your personal future contacts with such groups!
The campus survives in a delicate balancing act where we play #1 through #8 off of each other constantly. One concern is if groups ally in such a way that they can combine strengths and mask weaknesses.
Particular enemy strengths: access to modern firearms, military weapons systems and/or explosives; special knowledge of tactics, techniques and/or procedures; access to vehicles, aircraft, drones and/or bicycles; special knowledge of either _the site_ *pre-war* or _the people_ *current personnel*. IEDs have been a special hazard.
