United States Military Emergency Administration (USMEA)

DATE: 15 December 2000

LOCATION: Virginia Theater of Operations

CLASSIFICATION: SECRET

1. SITUATION OVERVIEW

Virginia remains a highly contested region, with multiple factions asserting control over key locations. USMEA-aligned forces maintain a presence at certain military installations but face increasing pressure from Free State militias, the unrecognized civilian authority (UCA) in Omaha, and lawless elements. The CIA now actively supports the UCA, while the DIA functions as the primary intelligence agency for the USMEA.

Of particular concern are reports that some Free State communities are rallying around a new movement known as “New America.” This ideology is gaining traction in multiple regions, with increasingly authoritarian rhetoric and signs of organized militarization.

2. FACTIONAL CONTROL

(A) USMEA CONTROLLED AREAS

Naval Station Norfolk (Partial Control) – Severely damaged by a 1 MT nuclear blast but undergoing limited reconstruction. Remaining personnel scheduled for evacuation to Fort Dix by March 2001.
Fort Pickett – Largest intact USMEA installation in Virginia, serving as a hub for sustainment, logistics, and refit operations.
Fort Eustis – Hosting a reduced command staff. Limited aviation assets available, primarily for reconnaissance.
Fort Lee – Supporting logistical operations but vulnerable to disruption by external factions.
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) Operations – Now the primary intelligence service for USMEA forces, focused on counterinsurgency efforts against the Free State militias and intelligence gathering on the UCA.

(B) UCA CONTROLLED AREAS

Northern Virginia Enclave (Reston, Falls Church, McLean) – Acts as a regional capital of the UCA, housing remnant federal officials, intelligence personnel, and security forces.
CIA Support – The CIA is actively supporting the UCA, providing intelligence and covert operations against USMEA and Free State-aligned factions. Reports indicate attempts to secure international recognition and foreign aid.
Raven Rock Mountain Complex (Site R) – Essential to the UCA's intelligence network, coordinating communication security and strategic analysis.

(C) FREE STATE-ALIGNED COMMUNITIES

A loosely connected but growing resistance to both the USMEA and UCA. Most Free State settlements are self-sufficient agrarian enclaves or fortified urban districts, though recent reports indicate some are becoming more militant.

Shenandoah Valley (Winchester, Harrisonburg, Staunton) – Independent militia strongholds, previously defensive in nature but now organizing in larger formations.
Southwest Virginia (Roanoke, Blacksburg, Bristol) – Mountain enclaves with deep anti-authoritarian traditions.
Richmond-Petersburg Corridor – While devastated, local councils have formed governance structures resistant to outside control.

(D) Emerging Threat: The “New America” Movement

Rumors suggest a faction within Free State territory is developing a new ideological framework calling itself “New America.”
Initially seen as an anti-USMEA and anti-UCA movement, recent intelligence suggests an increasingly rigid, authoritarian strain.
Reports from DIA field agents indicate organized military training, uniform insignias, and a structured chain of command within some Free State cells, particularly in the Shenandoah region.
“New America” rhetoric focuses on “reclaiming” the country, opposing foreign influence, and rejecting both USMEA and UCA as illegitimate.
Extent of their influence is unknown, but there are concerns about potential coordinated action.

3. THREAT ASSESSMENT

(A) MILITARY THREATS

UCA Forces – Backed by CIA intelligence support, with well-trained but lightly equipped security teams.
Free State Militias – Formerly scattered, now showing signs of coordination. Some groups remain decentralized, while others align with New America.
New America Movement – Emerging as a wildcard. Unclear if their ultimate goal is regional control, larger-scale expansion, or simply survivalist militarism.

(B) ENVIRONMENTAL & INFRASTRUCTURE HAZARDS

Nuclear Damage: Arlington, Quantico, Fort A.P. Hill, Norfolk, and Portsmouth remain irradiated, with severe infrastructure loss.
Winter Weather: Severe cold, snow, and ice storms affecting travel and supply lines.
Fuel & Logistics Issues: Severe shortages of diesel and aviation fuel are restricting movement.

4. RECOMMENDATIONS

Surveillance & Counterintelligence: Increased DIA operations needed to infiltrate and assess the true nature of the New America movement.
Fortify Key Installations: Hold Fort Pickett, Fort Lee, and Fort Eustis as strategic centers for USMEA operations.
Evacuate Norfolk Personnel: Expedite movement to Fort Dix before Free State militias or New America can disrupt transit.
Prepare for UCA Hostility: Anticipate covert CIA operations against USMEA forces.
