FROM A READER: A LOOK AT ANTIFA’S FIELD ORGANIZATION

ANTIFA COMMAND STRUCTURE: Solid S2 coming from one of our readers. They’re better organized than they’re given credit for and the real commissars have a lot of training.

ANTIFA COMMAND & CONTROL STRUCTURE IN FIELD ACTION. STRUCTURE, INSIGNIA AND OTHER IDENTIFIERS.

Antifa tactical units are organized into standard ‘company sturctrure’ of up to 20 individual soldiers under the immediate control of a comany commander. While there are ‘special units’, most notable the ‘reconnaissance & coordination’ teams of bicyclists, the base of the C&C structure for Antifa is the company.

Company commanders are ‘first lieutenants’ and may be idenfied in the field by their actions within the group, and frequently by possession of DX SDR units of some form. These ‘duplex (send/receive) software defined radio’ units will be small, and most probably attached to a smart phone. It is through the SDR’s that the encrypted commands are passed to operational units. On arrest, 1st Lieutenants have been observed disarding their identifying equipment as well as destroying their phones.First Lieutenants can also be identified as being the local hub for bicycle traffic. In observations of rioting/looting activity, particularly with long distance videos of qualtity, bicyclists can cleary be seen reporting to 1st Lieutenants & even seeking them out in the mob. For this activity, bicyclists have been noted to employ ‘proximate apps’ to locate their units & commanders.

The Anitfa field orgnaization has up to 4 companies reporting to a ‘captain (coordinator)’. Antifa Captians may be identified by common actions & equipment. Captains are ‘free floating’ within the mob movement, but will always be associated with increased bicycle traffic as well as ’emblems’ of authority/command. These emblems include sepcific types & shapes of video camera gear. Antifa soldiers are trained to center on the emblems of both 1st Lieutentant as well as Captains. Some of the Captains have been observed pulling their command together by holding up the long lens video camera overhead while running a pattern of flashes from the light bars. These are swept around the mob & new organization results.

Captains control and coordinate their company commanders by use of the SDR devides & will be observed in the field speaking into throat microphones while receiving by ear plugs or in-built headphones in their helmets. So far, all identified captains have been observed to be wearing some form of short coverage helmets. These appear to be adapted from the forms used by rock climbers. Captains will also be indentified by the apps loaded on their phones, the SDR units,

In field actions, captains can be most frequently spotted by their movements coordinating 1st lieutentants. Their most often observed task is enforcing discipline during the riots. In video footage of the day time looting in CA, the captains can be observed running up to enforce movement of specific companies that had been bogged down in looting, rather than attending to the mission being directed by the captain. In such incidents the first action of the captain is to force the soldiers attention on the video camera being waved around. Once recognition of rank is obtained, the captains can be seen pushing & forcing Antifa soldiers to specific actions, including pointing out their 1st Lieutenants. Captains have also been observed directing companies to attack specific locations they were identifying from maps on their phones. Looting has been preplanned for specific strategic and tactical goals as has been observed with the complex Antifa C&C actions at the looting of the Melrose high end Art store in CA.

In the field, Antifa C&C structure can be observed to include a ‘Colonel’ rank. These Colonel Antifa commanders are identified by being always accompanied by a ‘squad’ of up to half company strength used to control & protect the Colonel within the mob movements. Colonels have been identified as their supporting soldiers created paths for them through active riot areas. Other identifiers include near constant attendance by bicyclists, many of whom have ‘rolling command centers’ of digital & other equipment on racks on the bikes. As with Captains, the Colonels will also most frequently be seen wearing helmets, many with antenna off the back. These are part of the encrypted SDR systems that have been found to be hotspots of radio activity during riots. Antifa relies heavily on digital equipment, but other than minor levels of encryption, appears to be unsophisticated in wider applications, nor do they appear to be aware of their vulnerability to location by EMF triangulation.

The Antifa command and control structure, as so far observed, does not expose any levels higher than Colonel to visibility. All the ‘General’ level field officers have so far only been observed in vehicles being used as coordination centers. These have been noted to be extensively modified with electronic support systems.

The structure of Antifa in the field most closely resembles the ‘color’ revolutions created by the CIA. The tactics employed so far in these Antifa field actions have very simiular targets & tactics as was observed as far back in time as the Viet Nam conflict, and in other arenas in which the CIA created wars and destabilized regimes.

While this is the end of this report on the Antifa C&C structure, it is worth noting that, in the observations taken from video footage, there is a suggestion of an ‘Unknown Actor’ (UA) within the activites involved in the looting. This UA is, like Antifa, organized, and can have many operatives within the mob at any given point. This UA does not appear to be engaging in escalation, rather appears to be most focused on ‘tagging’ the Antifa, with the presumed goal of identifying active members. These ‘tagging’ incidents have been observed employing very sophisticated UV light reflective paint ‘dots’ and ‘lines’ being placed on individual Antifa by UA agents using what appears to be a ‘nylon tipped marker’. Several of these markers with no product identifying marks have been recovered in debris following looting episodes. Also in one instance, a small bag of magnetic field reflective ‘dots’ of self-adhesive vinyl was also recovered. It is assumed that UA is using these as trace & track methods for their own purposes. The UA agents are exceptionally well trained and disciplined, exhibiting awareness of video activity sufficient to allow these agents to not yet be identified.

I was particularly interested in ANTIFA communications methods, and surprisingly found this article.

Honestly, I think these people were trained by the CIA or assets thereof.

[Texas resident]

Reminds me of obama’s remark about having an organization just as well funded as the US army.

[CodeToad]

Sorry this is so big but it is a large image.

It shows how ANTIFA organizes itself in its protest/riots.

previous post, reporter and husband arrested!

[farming pharmer]

Excellent post.

The more we (free peoples) learn about their command and control structures, the better prepared we'll be.

Arm chair commandos with a couple of loaded firearms ain't gonna cut it when they come to your town.

[Dr. Sivana]

Time for police to use jammers at the sites to stop phone/radio communications

[submarine571]

Antifa is a joke.....Let's see how well organized they are when we start fighting back. They're going to get bloodied up, bruised and their asses kicked back to their Mommy’s basement. If these twenty somethings really believe they can take my country away from me without a fight?? Especially galling are all the buttercup females out there screeching and squalling — wait till you get punched in the face! wonder what antifa’s plan B is? Fold like a cheap tent?? Stupid f&(#’s!!

Every martial organization in the world uses basically the same format. This format dates to preRoman times. Anyone who has served in any military anywhere in the world will recognize the squad,platoon,company model. The rule of 3 is so well ingrained. Coming from small direct action team’s myself these people are not to be underestimated they have been trained by and funded at a level that the armchair commandos will pay dearly for underestimating them. While one side whines on the internet the other has been getting tier 2 if not tier 1 level training and putting it into practice on the regular. These people will not hesitate to kill they have no moral aversion to it and have been training and organising to that end. People joke here about bathrooms and soyboys but having fought with these types in crap parts of the world I can assure you the revolutionaries mean business and they will kill without hesitation. to joke or assume other wise is a copping mechanism and a foolish one at that. These people have demonstrated a level of commitment and organization that should be respected and planned for they will not be a easy enemy to face in guerilla warfare.

Antifa exists only because the Democratmarxists who control the police, prosecuters, and prisons will not allow arrests, prosecutions and release prisoners. The police are actually ordered to protect Antifa when they meet counter protesters.

[Georgia Girl 2]

These people are only effective when they are allowed to operate without forceful blowback. When John Q Public starts letting loose with AR’s and Shotguns they run like rats.

[OKSooner]

I get it, people don't want the bad optics associated with such things, but...

How I'd love to see these guys dealt with Israeli-style.

Identify the leaders and pick them off with a scoped and suppressed .22.

Good chance of then arresting them and having a conversation with them about... stuff.

[virgil]

I suspect they are a deep state asset, and it’s why no one is really doing anything about them outside a slap on the wrist.

[JD_UTDallas]

The white college girls and pink hat boys are useful idiots for the real soldiers of revolution make no mistake there is a very well organized well armed and well trained revolutionary Marxist Communist arm. I trained with a number of people men and women who were only in the military to get the skill sets to be a revolutionary. People assume falsely that everyone in our armed forces is a patriot I can tell as an officer that is patently false not every veteran is a patriot I would from my personal experience says 30% are not on the right side not even close. One only has to look at West point and the recent classwe to graduate where BLM and Communists openly outed themselves

Yes, but it is partly because the Democratmarxists fear being primaried by the far left types like Antifa.

That is how they take over cities.

It is uncertain if their tactics will be successfull... they may backfire and provoke a Democratic blowout, with President Trump and Republican control of the House and the Senate with sufficient majorities to overcome RINOs.

We just do not know yet.

In 1968, the riots worked against the Democrates; yet they had sufficent control over the Media to effect the Watergate coup against Nixon.

In 2020, it is the Media all-out aligned with the far left.

Will they be able to put down the Trump insurgency against the power elite?

That is the qauestion.

[JD_UTDallas]

Don’t count on trained soldiers running under fire. The armed revolutionary members are well trained, well disciplined, and have combat veterans in their ranks. They will return fire and have demonstrated to be organized into functional small team units. If John Q public opens up individually with an AR they will be shot down by suppressive fire from trained Communist revolutionaries. One or two John Qs in plate carriers and Hawaiian shirts will be cut down by a platoon of revolutionaries they already opened up with organized fire support in Seattle 300+ rounds in a few seconds it was black on black so the media ignored it. My specialty is small team’s SRT specifically we as in the US military trains our own and also our “allies” in small unit tactics they then go off and train every other group including “freedom fighters”

[TalBlack]

Armchair commandos by definition armed or out on the street.

Anyone out there in the street with a gun isn’t an armchair anything and is dangerous.

[virgil]

Take them from the rear. They can’t barricade every street.

[farming pharmer]

Agreed.

People (including me) only have a nebulous idea of the amount of IIA (Interactive Internet Activities) propaganda, monetary support, intelligence contractor support and training that ANTIFA/BLM (and the like) receive.

I wonder if studying counter-insurgency methodologies would be time well spent.
