What is a Security Threat Group (STG)?

A formal or informal ongoing group, gang, organization or association consisting of two or more members who have a

common name or common identifying sign, color(s), or

symbol(s). A group whose members/associates engage in a

pattern of gang-type activity or violation of laws/regulations.




Are there currently active groups of

individuals forming street type gangs and

extremist groups on Military Installations?From research gathered from the US Army,

US Navy, and US Air Force, there is no

evidence that groups of servicemen or womenare forming what would be considered “Street

Gangs” or “Hate Groups” solely based on

military installations.


In The Military?In The Military?



There is ample evidence that members of the

Armed Forces have had previous, or havecurrent and active contact with criminal street

gangs or extremist groups. There are

members of these groups currently on activeduty with the military.

AR 600-20, para. 4-12, A, dated 20 December 1996:

Participation: Military personnel must reject participation in

extremist organizations and activities. Extremist

organizations and activities are ones that:1) advocate racial, gender, ethnic hatred or intolerance

2) advocate, create, or engage in illegal discrimination based

on race, color, sex, religion or national origin

3) advocate the use of, or use force, violence or unlawful

means to deprive individuals their rights under the United

States Constitution, the Laws of the United States, or the laws

of any one state.

The service members in almost every case have had

prior membership in these groups and merely re-

associate themselves with local groups through

contact at night clubs, malls or public events.Gang members can spot other gang members

with little trouble as this is a survival technique they

have learned since they were first initiated into

gangs.

Soldiers involved with extremist groups

usually get recruited while in the service or had

some contact before entering the military.

How do service members get involvedHow do service members get involved

in these groups?in these groups?



Prior affiliation is not a safety issue within the

military for two main reasons.

1. Military installations and surrounding areasare initially considered neutral turf, and

therefore association with those considered

rivals is not an issue.

2. The service member does not usually have

other members of his group with him and does

not have to live up to their expectations.

Military Law Enforcement utilizes several different methods

to identify potential gang/extremist members within the

ranks:

• Extensive use of “Health & Welfare” Inspections byCommanders who find gang/extremist paraphernalia.

• Direct contact with Local Law Enforcement Agencies who

identify gang members through direct contact.

• Mandatory Tattoo checks conducted by Commanders andin-processing personnel upon arrival at the installation.

• Direct contact with Military Police through routine traffic

stops or routine case work.

• Information provided by Confidential Sources.

Members Identified?Members Identified?



Gangs - what are they made of?Gangs - what are they made of?Gang Names

Many gangs adopt names that have significance when related to their

neighborhoods (streets, parks, hills, valleys or housing projects).

Nick Names

Many gang members adopt nicknames when recruited into the group, if they do not already have one. The gang tends to select a name that fits the

individual's physical or psychological characteristics.

Leadership

Gang members do not fit the movie image in which they are portrayedfulfilling specific roles in the gang such as president or enforcer amd

wearing jackets similar to those worn by many car clubs having rigidstructures.Rather, leadership roles in street gangs are usually not formally recognizedpositions. They are assumed by a member who demonstrates or assertsdominant control at a particular time. His leadership may continue for theparticular incident or a limited time thereafter. With smaller gangs, however,

it is more likely that a single individual will become a recognized leader.

Graffiti

Graffiti, a form of vandalism, is a problem that impacts our neighborhoods in a variety of ways. Without question, it decreasesproperty values in residential neighborhoods and negatively affectsindustrial and commercial areas. Of greater concern is the inherentviolence associated with gang graffiti. Gang members use graffiti tomark their gang's "turf" or territory. They also use it to advertise the

gang's status or power and to declare their own allegiance to the gang.When a neighborhood is marked with graffiti indicating territorialdominance, the entire area and its inhabitants become targets for violence. Anyone on the street or in his home is fair game for drive-byattacks by rival gang members. A rival gang identifies everyone in theneighborhood as a potential threat. Consequently, innocent residents

are often subjected to gang violence by the mere presence of graffiti intheir neighborhood.

Aryan Nations Richard Butler, leader of Aryan Nations


"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." "Those who control the

once-White nations deny us White nations, White schools, White organizations and everything

necessary for racial survival. We resist this deliberate and malicious genocide. Is that hate? If Whitesdo not immediately establish an exclusive White nation, then the beauty of the White Aryan woman

will soon cease to exist on earth forever. We are taught to dread the extinction of spotted owls, so

why is it a hate crime to love and preserve one's race? Is that hate?"

WE BELIEVE that the Cananite Jew is the natural enemy of our Aryan (White) Race. This is attested by

scripture and all secular history. The Jew is like a destroying virus that attacks our racial body to destroy

our Aryan culture and the purity of our Race. Those of our Race who resist these attacks are called

"chosen and faithful." John 8:44; 1Thessalonians 2:15; Revelations 17:14"



Knights of the Ku Klux Klanand The Federation of Klans

World Church of the Creator


"If the Klan were in political power laws would be enacted that would prevent American

industry and property from being sold to foreigners. America should be owned by Americans -

not Japanese, Arabs or Jews.... Until 20 or so years ago, nearly all states had 'sodomy' andmiscegenation laws and statutes that were strictly enforced. Since that time they have been

repealed or are ignored, the results are obvious with the plague of AIDS now ravaging our land.

Both of these abominations against God and nature must be stopped if America is ever to return

to the great Christian nation it once was. "

"WE BELIEVE that the White Race, its Biological and Cultural Heritage, is now under attack

by our mortal racial enemies: Jews, niggers and the mud races. WE BELIEVE that RAHOWA

(RAcial HOly WAr), under the victorios flag of the one and only, true and revolutionary White

Racial Religion-Creativity-, is the only road to the resurrection and redemption of the White

Race"



White Aryan Resistance


"As our march toward hell proceeds, it will empower us if we heed the advice of Dr. Charles

Weber and refer to ourselves as "Aryans". Furthermore, let's quit the side-shuffles and notify

the world that we are, indeed, racists. We have been labeled as such by our racial enemies and

it's about time we acknowledged the fact. If by some quirk of genetic malfunction, you feel

you are a genuine poon-tang loving race-mixer, then stay away from Holocaust discussions,

free speech band-wagons, National Socialism tea parties, and all other blight-wing parades for

you will eventually be labeled a "racist" no matter how many kowtows you perform or where

you choose to stuff your silly little nose. Most blacks are racist. Most jews are racist. Mostchinks are racist. Most mestizos are racist. Most vietnamese are racist. Russian jews are racist.

Japs are racist. Our apartheid injuns are racist. They all share a common view: They do not

want Aryans to be racist. Racism lends strength to a people and the last thing non-Aryans

want is to be in the middle of Aryan strength. If White America were as racist as its enemies

claim, then it wouldn't be in such a fine mess. No parasite wants its host to reach for that can

of Raid. "
