| 2.6 TACTICAL-LEVEL CELLULAR ORGANIZATION
The smallest elements at the tactical level of terrorist organizations are the cells that serve as building-blocks for the terrorist organization. One of the primary reasons for a cellular or compartmentalized structure is security. The compromise or loss of one cell should not compromise the identity, location, or actions of other cells. A cellular organizational structure makes it difficult for an adversary to penetrate the entire organization. Personnel within one cell are often unaware of the existence of other cells and, therefore, cannot divulge sensitive information to infiltrators or captors. The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) is an excellent example of the cellular organization. The homepage ELF site states that ELF is modelled after Animal Liberation Front in the structured way to maximize the effectiveness. Operating in cells not only guarantees the security of group members but also such decentralized structure [helps to continue conducting actions.] |
Tactical-level Cellular Organization
The smallest elements at the tactical level of terrorist organizations are the cells that serve as building blocks for the terrorist organization. One of the primary reasons for a cellular or compartmentalized structure is security. The compromise or loss of one cell should not compromise the identity, location, or actions of other cells. A cellular organizational structure makes it difficult for an adversary to penetrate the entire organization. Personnel within one cell are often unaware of the existence of other cells and, therefore, cannot divulge sensitive information to infiltrators or captors. The home page of the Earth Liberation Front is an excellent example of this cellular organization. It states, “Modeled after the Animal Liberation Front, the E.L.F. is structured in such a way as to maximize effectiveness. By operating in cells (small groups that consist of one to several people), the security of group members is maintained. [...] This decentralized structure helps keep activists out of jail and free to continue conducting actions.” |
Minimal to no adjustments in the beginning. Later on Nm diverges from the original - but only a little bit. The source is not mentioned at all. The passage continues on the next page. |
