Command Structure
The Ridleybank Resistance Front is a multi faceted organisation, with similarly diverse objectives. The organisational structure is (paradoxically) anarchically loose, while remaining tightly organised, meaning every member can choose to be as heavily involved as they wish. Currently the groups operations are planned by a group of elder members known as The War Council, with Moloch as the head.
Originally the RRF was designed to be almost totally anarchic, however within weeks it was clear that some minor organisation would be required. First, the two groups were formed, the intention being that while one group attacked a target outside Ridleybank, the other group would remain behind, defending Ridleybank from invaders.
The Creation of the Department of Homeland Security
In early November a defensive gap began to appear, as both groups began to to be simultaneously engaged further and further away from Ridleybank, which also created problems for new, inexperienced members who struggled to keep up with the horde.
In response, the Department of Homeland Security was created. Initially formed as a small group of dedicated defenders, the role of the DoHS soon expanded into that of a training program, wherein new, inexperienced members could be guided by the senior DoHS members in attacks on survivors in Ridleybank, through identifying and softening potential targets.
The Evolution of the Strike Teams
At Caiger Mall, the limitations of the horde's anarchic structure became evident, and the need for a coordinated element was highlighted. Towards the end of the Caiger siege talks began on creating "strike-teams"; groups of RRF members who would launch a coordinated attack at a specific time every day. While the Caiger siege ended before many of the teams were ready, the ensuing battle for Ridleybank meant that the strike-teams saw much combat over the following weeks.
Groups, Strike Teams and Black-Ops Units
So great was the success of the DoHS and the early days of the strike teams that the RRF has been happy to create more and more departments as the horde numbers increased exponentially, resulting in the mixture of sub-groups, strike team, and black-ops that make up Ridleybank Resistance Front today. These are detailed as follows:
Under the nominal leadership of SomewhatDeceased, the DoHS is a large, anarchic, largely self-directed horde. The Department serves two purposes. Their primary purpose is to keep Ridleybank proper harman- and barricade-free. Their secondary purpose is to supply manpower to help keep the Greater Ridleybank area dangerous for harman settlement. An unspoken third responsibility is, of course, the development of new square-dancing songs.
Recently, a group of concerned Homeland Security Agents realized that many of them were playing around the same time (late evening in North America). The resulting loosely organized group has become an informal strike team going by the name TEAM AMERICA: MALTON POLICE. While behaving in a fashion that may evoke other strike teams, Team America is a crack team dedicated to directly serving the Department of Homeland Security unlike other RRF strike teams which occasionally wander off and and pantslessly mingle in areas far away from the rest of the horde.
Led by BongoBrain, the Wrecking Ball is the RRF's expeditionary force. First formed as Group 0 in March 2006, this "master group" is comprised of a large number of horde members, absorbing the original Group 1 and Group 2 (and its mascot, Pickles the Elephant), and as such is a highly destructive force. Operating under the RRF's traditional "disorganized order" structure where targets are publicly identified and attacked (here), this organization serves to help keep the harman infestation down in Malton.
Formed during the first Battle of Blackmore, Auxunit 10 is the gold-standard of RRF strike teams, eating more brains, smashing more cades and ruining more buildings than anyone else around (the shiney gold medals around our necks attest to that). Led by none other than the old school arse-kicker Pyromonkey, Auxunit 10 is proud to also count retired Papa Suskind as one of its members.
Formed during the first siege of Caiger Mall, the GMT Breakfast Club is one of the longest-serving strike teams in all of the game. It is a distinct possibility that they have eaten more brains over their long tenure than any other single strike team -- after all, they're quite good at killing people. Led by the distinguished leader Distinguished, the Breaky Club still rises early and eats the brainz of harmanz too lazy to get up with the sun.
Founded during the original Big Bash, the Gore Corps are the resident death cultists of the RRF. They are the bane of the existence of every harman they come across, devastating their ranks either dead or alive. They are also known for their provacative dress, pubescent fascination with sex and being the official team of RRF hottie Goolina. The Corps is currently led by Moloch and yosemiteclimber.
Retired or Disbanded Strike Teams
The Barhah Brigade
The Barhah Brigade was, if they ever existed, the RRF's own personal black ops unit, answerable to none but Petrosjko himself.
While they are incredibly secretive, they do have their own article, which contains all public knowledge (however limited) regarding the unit. If they ever did exist, they would have formed their their own horde by now.
The Gray Guard
Comprised of retired old Ridleys, burnt out from the game but still bound to the horde by duty and friendship. These brave warriors mainly sit around a fire in Moggridge Place Police Department in the Zombie Homeland trading war stories and telling any young Zombie who will listen about the good old days, back when the brains were sweeter, the harmanz were smarter, and Petrosjko wore pants. Once a day each zombie leaves on a scouting run breaking down barricades for the cause, eating the foolish occupants (if any), and tirelessly repairing buildings back into a proper state for a zombie dwelling (With all harman friendly gear carefully recycled into works of beautiful art).
