Assessment
• What we know:
– Protestors began expanding convoys and protest activities to Bismarck
– Due to a lack of LE presence at the Memorial Bridge and Main Street, Bismarck, LE was
unable to make arrests for illegal protest activities.
– Movement is well organized and control measures are in place
– There are divisions within the camps (i.e., Natives vs Whites and inter-tribal conflicts)
– There are outsiders deliberately moving the rioters toward violent action
– The rioters do possess weapons
– Red Warrior Camp is the plans and operations for the rioters and is run by Cody Hall
– That the use of spotters and runners is widely used during riot operations
– Uniformed rioter security are giving orders to rioters during direct action
– Manipulate peaceful protesters through misinformation
• What we do not know:
–
–
–
–
Number and type of weapons in camp
Who is providing military training
When and where the next event will occur and how many rioters will attend
Have not confirmed Command and Control at events (suspect Cody Hall )
• What we think:
– The Standing Rock Sioux will continue to riot and attempt to force DAPL security and law
enforcement to respond with violence
• Importance:
– The use of force or death of a protester or rioter will result in the immediate halt to DAPL
operations, which will likely permanently halt the entire project

Priority Intelligence Requirements
• 1. Any compositional info on aggressive protest groups. It is important to
weed out non-aggressive groups as they will drain our resources in the
wrong direction with no effect to our client.
• 2. Planned moves or activities of these groups as they intersect with our
client specifically.
• 3. Other non-direct actions that intersect with our client’s operations to
produce indirect effects (for example: Social Media postings from remote
sites) should be included in collection.
• 4. Political backing of the protest groups, such as the Green Party
candidate.
• 5. Corporate backing of the protest groups.
• 6. Local sympathizers providing support, logistics, and potentially shelter
for those committing criminal acts.
• 7. Cyber-activists: Name (real or alias), location, IP addy, IMEI numbers.
• 8. Any movement of the client leadership to TS sites.
